    Fé

    É a mesma luz que ilumina as faces dos crentes e os chinelos dos pecadores, assim será a mesma falta de luz que deixará no escuro o nada que ficar de uns terem sido crentes e outros pecadores que usavam chinelos. Ficará também o cansaço antecipado de todos os gestos e, a desilusão antecipada de todos os sonhos.

    Re: Fé

    From Google Translate:
    It is the same light that illuminates the faces of believers and the slippers of sinners, so it will be the same lack of light that will leave in the dark the nothing that remains of some having been believers and other sinners who wore slippers. There will also be the anticipated tiredness of all gestures and the anticipated disappointment of all dreams.

    Sorry if I'm being dense, but I don't understand. I also can't understand the image.

    I'm almost with you Phillip and Bo. I almost always find them interesting but puzzling. However the translation of this one gives some meaning to it: someone reaching to the heavens and the reaching is the same whether the person be saint or sinner and no matter why they are doing it; it is an action as old as mankind and perhaps futile. Perhaps the picture is worth a thousand words but we don't know what those words are ...

    Here endeth my philosophising for the year!

    Thank you for deciphering this text and image, Bill. I should have magnified the view of the image, and then I might have realised that the "ring" attached to the block was actually a person standing with their arms in the air!

    Cheers.

    This image is becoming more interesting to me. He is not reaching out to the light but to the darkness which looms in the corner of the image, almost to keep it at bay, futile as that may be. It's about the diminishing of light. The same light that shines on sinners and saints (mankind). Then he goes on to say how this darkness will make humankind lethargic, unable to realize their dreams. Hopelessness.
