The Monk and the ManuscriptI am in love with Jesus Christ, the Son of God, paint elaborate alphabets, richly patinaed; images of divinity, angels, prophets, man; my adoration, my eternal faithfulness. Year upon year I labor at my table, for as long as life and hope may live, drawing in vivid gold and primary colors the radiant realm of ideas and the spirit. The richness of heaven and earth, and my love, lives in these precious, magnificent documents, within the cool, bare stones of a simple cell under churlish, grey, medieval skies. The golden parchment glows beneath my hand with the fervency of belief, majesty of red, yellow, blue; orange, purple, green; the transcendent, entwined destinies of man and the divine.
