Wall's image After "Invisible Man" is inspired by Ralph Ellison's 1952 novel Invisible Man . The novel is about a man who, during a riot, falls into a cellar room of a large apartment building and stays there, hidden - his cieling covered with 1,369 light bulbs.

thanks edgar for sharing

three from Rumi

The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you.
Don't go back to sleep.

You must ask for what you really want.
Don't go back to sleep.

People are going back and forth across the doorsill
where the two worlds touch.

The door is round and open.
Don't go back to sleep.

.........

There is a community of the spirit.
Join it, and feel the delight
of walking in the noisy street
and being the noise.
Drink all your passion,
and be a disgrace.
Close both eyes
to see with the other eye.

.........

Birdsong brings relief
to my longing
I'm just as ecstatic as they are,
but with nothing to say!
Please universal soul, practice
some song or something through me!
