So, in the midst of dealing with dichotomies of words/image, I figured out this idea in the wake of suffering and its story. There's a focal point. In every story, there's a focal point. But, with suffering, it's either light or dark because suffering has no other option. There can either be a light that helps us make use of suffering, or there can be darkness that leaves us with it, carrying it, trying to bear it. My idea, even as I took this picture, was how light diffuses the darkness (not the other way around).
And, I thought--well, there's God. Yes. There's God.
And, the analytics of it all says He can't exist because we can't think that far (Class Discussion, February 19, 2013). Atheism. There is no God.
But, I believe God is. He is the light that diffuses the darkness. Sure, suffering's still in the equation, but from my experience, that suffering can be borne more easily upon His shoulders than mine. I think it's funny that people say there is no God when they allow for their spirit. You can't think around your spirit. In the same way, we can't think up God. He's as self-evident as the spirit. And, His proof is everywhere. All we need is to open our eyes. (As with all useful art--it makes us open our eyes to what's already there.)
