Hope and Emptiness
Last night I hung two small paintings in our bedroom, one on
each side of our bed. One painting depicts a sandy beach with a
lighthouse in the background.
I chose to put this one on my wife's side of the bed,
since she is the beacon of hope for our family.
On my side of the bed I hung the picture of an empty row boat.
I probably don't need to explain the metaphor for that one.
Nor need I explain that the actual purpose of a lighthouse is to warn
everyone who comes near that, should they get too close, they will
crash and and they will die.
