“Not to exercise all the power at one’s disposal is to endure the void. This is contrary to all the laws of nature. Grace alone can do it. Grace fills empty spaces but it can only enter where there is a void to receive it, and it is grace itself which makes this void. (...) To accept a void in ourselves is supernatural. Where is the energy to be found for an act which has nothing to counterbalance it? The energy has to come from elsewhere. Yet first there must be a tearing out, something desperate has to take place, the void must be created. Void: the dark night. (...) To love truth means to endure the void and, as a result, to accept death. Truth is on the side of death.” (Simone Weil - “Gravity and Grace”) Vagus (the wheels my masters), oil on canvas, 2022 @soft_opening 🤍
