Wild Ragged Figure

 

A picture my niece drew reminds me of a book:

“Later he saw Jesus move from tree to tree in the back of his mind, a wild ragged figure motioning him to turn around and come off into the dark where he was not sure of his footing, where he might be walking on the water and not know it and then suddenly know it and drown.”

—Wise Blood, Flannery O’Connor
