show!Armand & book!Armand x "Laurus" by Eugene Vodolazkin
"I was Arseny, Ustin, Amvrosy, and I have just now become Laurus."
"Being a mosaic does not necessarily mean scattering into pieces, answered Elder Innokenty. It is only up close that each separate little stone seems not to be connected to the others. There is something more important in each of them, O Laurus: striving for the one who looks from afar. For the one who is capable of seizing all the small stones at once."

The elder ran his hand along Arseny’s hair.
He said: Each of us repeats Adam’s journey and acknowledges, with the loss of innocence, that he is mortal. Weep and pray, O Arseny. And do not fear death, for death is not just the bitterness of parting. It is also the joy of liberation.

Laurus, Eugene Vodolazkin
A cool picture of a gull (Larus sp.) I took today. Something neat about capturing that moment of takeoff.
The tree of knowledge leads humanity to death but a cross of wood grants immortality to humanity. Remember, O Amvrosy, that repetitions are granted for our salvation and in order to surmount time.
Laurus by Eugene Vodolazkin, 2016. Translated by Lisa C. Hayden.
