Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world’s grief.
Do justly, now.
Love mercy, now.
Walk humbly, now.
You are not obligated to complete the work,
but neither are you free to abandon it.
[Talmud]





[Among other things, I love The Secret of Kells because so many of its frames are like this, the kind of thing you can freeze and stare at for — I don’t know. For a long time, without running out of things to see. It was harder to get stills from the film than I thought, even though I now own a copy. This is actually from a prior version of the film — the characters look a bit different in the final version. But there are several ocean scenes in the final with waves drawn a lot like this.]
