Some people don’t like reading between the lines because it strikes them as opening the door to all sorts of fanciful nonsense. They prefer plain language, and a direct and literal approach to interpretation. But is reading always so simple? Maybe life is art all the way down. And maybe when the original Artist said, “Let there be light,” He had more than one thing in mind. Perhaps, just perhaps, the world doesn’t read like the manual that came with your washing machine.
