Footnotes
An exquisite image: just as pressing a carved seal into clay brings the engraved pattern into relief, so dawn light pressing across the earth's surface brings valleys, ridges, and contours into sharp visibility. The world is visually recreated each morning in an act of daily revelation. The second image — a garment standing out — suggests the rich, coloured landscape that appears once light floods it. Together, both images insist that creation's beauty is not static but renewed: a fresh imprinting every day.
