Context

Image captured in March at “Pompeii: The Exhibition” at MSI.

From Sarah Viren’s To Tell the Bigger Lie:

Not that truth doesn’t matter, but that what often matters more is the context in which whatever is true or false comes to our attention. That context is the story, the poem, the meaning we make from the raw material of a lived life.
