ENTRY DESCRIPTION
I took this photo in Paris when the coronavirus was in the midst of a pandemic (2020). As Nietzsche once said: “It is the same with man as with the tree. The more he seeks to rise into the height and light, the more vigorously do his roots struggle earthward, downward, into the dark and deep--into the evil.” I know that this difficult period will be as silent as our prayer time, and then it will pass.
