lamplighter

I have just had a flash of a vision.  Like right this moment. Not sure if I'll be able to illustrate my point, either with word or image, but I will try. Partially inspired I think, by my friends, Todd and Anna, who are working in Cambodia against human trafficking.  To go into the dark places, the hopeless places, and bring a light. To bear hope, to try. To work. To move forward. To speak a kind word. To quench someone's thirst.  To be a lamplighter.

Aaaand then I realized that the girls were about to be late for school because I'm all absorbed in the worlds most slapdash illustration, so I didn't get to actually post.   

But here it is. Pen and charcoal on matboard.
