Archlight Severed
Digital Abstract | Gregory Scott
A celestial fracture — immortal and immediate.
Here, the radiant spine of a divine force is torn in a single, savage motion. What once upheld realms of light now falls in a slashing descent, its remnants twisting violently through the void. The red gash at the heart of the form is no mere wound; it is the severance of purpose, the blade of betrayal driven through the spirit of ascension itself.
Tendrils of once-pure energy spiral away like broken commandments — scorched, displaced, desecrated. The luminous arcs recoil as if aware of their failure, their light no longer guiding, but accusing. This is not chaos for chaos’s sake; it is a reckoning — a cosmic revolt.
There is no redemption in this piece. Only the raw, unflinching moment when sanctity is undone, and the universe watches its guardian fall.

Tail section severed in a ground collision with Detla A350 N503DN at ATL 9/10/24. Repaired 1 year later
Marquette Rail's Z151 has completed its interchange at CSX's Wyoming Yard and is now navigating the plant at Plaster Creek as the crew heads back north with 105 cars. The track in the foreground is what's left of the now-removed Maggie's Lead, and its dwarf still guards the plant. Though the east end of Maggie's had been severed for decades, in recent times it was used as a headroom track for switching moves at the east end of the yard to keep the Main and Sunnyside leads clear. It also hosted many EHBO cars as they awaited their date with the gas wrench. It was removed, along with several other lightly used tracks in Wyoming, during CSX's scrap blitz of the early 2020s.
It feels as if great changes are taking place in me,
and I believe it’s more than a passing mood.
Last night was a great breakthrough:
A new insight, at least if one can call something like
that insight, and this morning I was filled with peace
again and with an assurance I have not felt in a long time. And all of this because of
one little blister on my left foot.
My body is a home for many pains, they lie hidden in every corner, with each one
making itself felt, and then the next. I have become reconciled to that, too.
And I wonder how I can work so well and even concentrate with all my aches and
pains. But I have to accept that intellectual powers alone do not get one very far when
things get really serious. The walk
to and from the tax office has taught me that.
We walked the pavements of this sunny, beautiful
town like happy tourists. His hand caught mine, and they felt so good together, our
hands.
And when at one point, I was overcome with tiredness and had this sudden
particular feeling about not being able to take the tram anywhere in this great city
with its long streets, and not even be allowed to sit down at one of the little pavement
cafes. ( “ Look, that is where I went with my friends
two years ago, after I took my finals.” )
Then I thought, or rather I didn’t really think it.
It welled up somewhere inside me : Throughout
the ages people have been tired and worn their feet
out on God’s earth, in the cold and the heat, and that
too, is part of life.
This sort of feeling has been growing much stronger in me : A hint of eternity steals
through my
smallest daily activities and perceptions.
I am not alone in my tiredness or sickness or fears,
but at one with millions of others from many centuries, and it is all part of life, and yet
life is beautiful and meaningful too.
It is meaningful even in its meaninglessness,
provided one makes room in one’s life for everything
and accepts life as one indivisible whole, for then one becomes whole in oneself.
… But as soon as one try’s to exclude certain parts of life, refusing to accept them and
arrogantly opting for this and not for that part of life, yes, then it does become
meaningless because it is no longer a whole, and everything then becomes quite
arbitrary.
-Etty Hillesum's Epic July 1942

This outdoor seat in the shape of a hand is located in I. C. DeHart Memorial Park, perhaps four miles from Woolwine in Patrick County, Virginia (on state route 40). "I. C. DeHart Memorial Park supports a beautiful reclaimed wetland site with a boardwalk and extensive interpretive information. An asphalt walking trail offers access for more physically challenged visitors. Numerous signs in the area provide information about the insects, reptiles, birds and plants found in the wetland as well as documenting the history of its creation and ongoing community involvement in studying its ecology."

But the solitary lawn furniture suggested something ominous, perhaps sinister. It reminded me of "The Hand" by de Maupassant, a story of hands which return to life for a malicious purpose. There are numerous literary examples of a severed hand and the evil lurking behind it. And of course there's the enigmatic song by Pearl Jam. For an author, there's a good horror story in this image.
