Everyday Good and Evil

The true, epic battle between good and evil is not one that takes place between magical monsters, daring brave swordsmen, or fantastical people of legend. It is one that takes place within each of our hearts, everyday, as we strive to make choices that could end up very right, or very wrong. Even ones as simple as "should I take the train today" can have meaning, unseen and profound, that shapes our life forever after.

This image is dedicated to our inner muses, the classic shoulder angels of childhood yore. Those nameless, faceless whispers that guide our path through our every day. When no choice is good, and all paths lead to darkness, still are they there, ready to lead us to or away from their personal light. Rarely can we predict where either path will take us. All we can do is strive to make the choices we deem right.

If in order to see goodness prevail, we must do something terrible, is it really good? If the wrong things we do, we do out of good heart and innocence, are they really evil? If it's so hard to merely survive in this world, why even try to strive for betterment? Can our hearts ever find themselves healed and complete through our art?

Such are the skirmishes this battle is made of, as it ever rages on, within each of us. Every day.
