Fall silent in a shouting age.
Do not be afraid
To take the colour of the earth,
And be joined with the hidden ones.
Go unseen among the glories.
Do not be afraid
To let yourself be made a sign,
For only those with eyes to see.

This is probably my favorite print by Sarah Christolini from my novel. I love how the Bobcat seems to have a halo which so perfectly captures one of the major themes of the book, that ordinary work done for God becomes a sacred vocation.
