The Lord was living with a great colony of bats in a cave. Two boys with BB guns found the cave and killed many of the bats outright, leaving many more to die of their injuries. The boys didn’t see the Lord. He didn’t make His presence known to them.

On the other hand, the Lord was very fond of the bats but had done nothing to save them.

He was becoming harder and harder to comprehend.

He liked to hang with the animals, everyone knew that, the whales and bears, the elephants and bighorn sheep and wolves. They were rather wishing He wasn’t so partial to their company.

Hang more in the world of men, they begged Him.

But the Lord said He was lonely there.

Thought:

“If he is conscientious, his preliminary work consists precisely of moving backward from the effect to the cause. Starting from this end result — the viewer’s emotional response — he looks for the combinations that will be most effective in its creation. It’s a path taken in reverse, a step-by-step retreat, full of choices, puzzles, redactions, interpolations, that arrives inevitably at the origins of the composition: that is, at composition itself.”
