Seeing 2012 (#37)

For your consideration: a juxtaposition of what a first blush might seem an odd couple . . . but such a premature assessment would arise largely from the dramatic contrast in settings and moods.

Closer reflection, however, brings one closer to the understanding that, like the laws of physics, spiritual truths are universal, applicable without restrictions of space nor time. The only variants are superficial, being the form of the messengers — each suited for a particular audience encumbered by its own inherent prejudices and preferences.
