We have our asceticisms. We perform our offices. We are punctilious in our service. Our worship of the divine. At the center, there is a void. Emptiness. An empty tomb. That is what all Christians long for: to find the stone rolled away, and nothing within.

Let them know that your gaze is terrifying, and that you lift your terrifying gaze. Let them know that your eyes flash and flicker. Let them know that you are headstrong and defiant. Let them know that you always stand triumphant.
