This art featured in my memoir, Incandescence Rising Above Darkness is included as a moment of serenity between chapters and does not necessarily have any literal connection to the story.
Incandescence: Rising Above Darkness Excerpt Chapter #20 Sea Sick Soul Seeks Serenity
He looked like a painting of Jesus with his golden hair landing on his shoulders. His eyes were the color of the sea, his flesh tanned by the sun bouncing off the water. He ate no meat and wore nothing made from animals, including his shoes made from recycled tires.
My skin was olive. My nearly black hair had a copper sheen in the sun. My eyes turned from hazel to chestnut with my moods. I made everything I wore by hand with a needle and thread. I did not adorn myself with color, make-up, or jewelry.
We were both comfortable in silence. His eyes had a sadness in them ever since seeing war. My eyes stayed alert, knowing how people could be.
