Observe its face. The saturated darkness of the Void represents a final destination. An unflinching and stoic representation of the unknowing yet ever present. All paths lead to this. Carried by the owl, like a moored mask, it flies around silently. Patiently sensing one’s destination get closer with every tug of the line. Closer to its gaping maw of nothingness.

“Their steps ghostly on the warping boards, rousing an owl from the beams, passing over them on soundless wings, a shadow, ascending into the belfry like an ash sucked up a flue and as silently.” -Cormac McCarthy, The Orchard Keeper
