EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative silhouette by H.L. Oakley, entitled 'Enough to Make a Saint Swear,' a monk's tranquil contemplation is disrupted by an unwelcome intrusion. The serene figure, with his shaved head and robes, sits in deep meditation under the gnarled branches of an oak tree. His peaceful repose is shattered, however, as he watches in disbelief as a plump and mischievous cat knocks over a jug of milk at his feet. The monk's expression is one of annoyance and exasperation, his hands clenched in frustration as the cat laps up the spilled milk with relish. This metaphorical image speaks to the universal experience of having one's peace disrupted by unexpected events or the actions of others. The literal spilling of milk serves as a symbol for the figurative upheaval of our plans and expectations. The monk's reaction, with its hint of profanity in the title, adds a touch of humor and relatability to the scene. The use of silhouettes adds a timeless and almost mythic quality to the image, inviting us to reflect on the human condition and the challenges we face in our quest for inner peace and tranquility.
