The sun cycle is tilting as it always does and light is increasing again. In 2023, let’s keep driving darkness back in all the ways that we can.
While I can’t stand against the darkness like the spirit in this Virgil Finlay illustration (from A. Merritt’s Ship of Ishtar) — and wouldn’t look one-tenth as good if I tried — I’ll contribute what I can. As someone put it once (I don’t know who), I’ll look for the next good thing I can do, then hopefully do it.
And regardless of metaphor and analogy, that is one wonderful image from a terrific book.
Happy New Year everyone.

Happy New Year!!! Can’t go wrong with Virgil Finlay.
Never. The man’s just amazing.
And happy new year to you back.
