The truth is everywhere these days, and nowhere. The truth, like light, is like a fugitive, forever changing, morphing, escaping, and recreating itself. It is the mercurial nature of the human temperament and intellect that makes it so difficult for us to locate the truth, or with any consistency. In the same way light is always shifting, either arriving or leaving, rarely, if ever, remaining the same.
Thus it is our very nature, the tension between light and the dark, the certain and the uncertain, that is the fugitive that lives in all of us.
