Probably. I mean, you literally wrote the book. And the sequence. Even the name... I'm sure a floodlight is of great use up on your hill, but it doesn't do much deep down here (wherever here is) in what might be fog and might be mud I can't tell because I can't see it well enough.

...what? Some kind of extended metaphor? Your meaning is totally unclear.

In the sequence Armok_GoB mentions I use light as an extended metaphor for self-knowledge.

Hmm. I haven't read your full sequence (one of these days!), so if that's the reference point then that explains my confusion. Thanks!
