Confusion in the mist

 

When I first saw this depiction of the painting, "Wanderer in a Sea of Fog" it reminded me of Johnny Depp's character, Gellert Grindelwald in the movie Fantastic Beasts. Grindelwald had whiteish blond hair, a cane, and wore a long black walking coat in the movie if I remember correctly. He was known to say "for the greater good" trying to explain or justify his wicked ways.  I wonder if in those Hermit moments when we self-examine if there might come that moment when we could and sometimes do 'cross-over' to the dark side? We are a mixture of light and dark thoughts and feelings, those emotions which sometimes can get the better of us. Do a good deed, we feel good about our actions. Do a not so good thing and we can be wickedly delighted. Stepping into the Hermit's territory we must be cautious and understanding of what may be discovered in the mists of our minds.
