A small bronze sculpture of a man leans against a white wall inside a quiet library, photographed in black and white.

Looking for Answers

Some questions aren’t asked out loud.

He wasn’t looking at the room.

He wasn’t looking at the books.

He wasn’t looking at anyone.

He was facing a wall.

For a moment, the sculpture stopped being bronze and became familiar.

We’ve all stood there at some point—searching for an answer that isn’t written anywhere.

Sometimes thinking looks a lot like surrender.

Sometimes it looks exactly like hope.
