Once again you are wrong sir, darkness does not exist either. darkness is in reality the absence of light. light we can study, but not darkness. in fact we can use newton's prism to break white light into many colors and study the various wavelengths of each color. you cannot measure darkness. a simple ray of light can break into a world of darkness and illuminate it. how can you know how dark a certain space is? you measure the amount of light present. isn't this correct? darkness is a term used by man to describe what happens when there is no light present.

Greek architecture taught me that the column is where the light is not, and the space between is where the light is. it is a matter of no-light, light, no-light, light. a column and a column brings light between them. to make a column which grows out of the wall and which makes its own rhythm of no-light, light, no-light, light: that is the marvel of the artist.

Everything that comes together falls apart. everything. the chair i’m sitting on. it was built, and so it will fall apart. i’m gonna fall apart, probably before this chair. and you’re gonna fall apart. the cells and organs and systems that make you you—they came together, grew together, and so must fall apart. the buddha knew one thing science didn’t prove for millennia after his death: entropy increases. things fall apart.

I notice that autumn is more the season of the soul than of nature.

Come, and see the victories of the cross. christ's wounds are thy healings, his agonies thy repose, his conflicts thy conquests, his groans thy songs, his pains thine ease, his shame thy glory, his death thy life, his sufferings thy salvation.
