But black is not only the lack of light—it is also the complete absorption of light. The void and reservoir of what we want, what we need; light is power, it is knowledge. When we look into the deep, velvety black eyes of moths we see both emptiness and (the absorption of) light. No one understands why moths are attracted to light. It's neither to mate nor to eat: many moths don’t eat at all; some don't even have mouths. Like butterflies, moths are almost as light as air, but they’re the poor stupid cousins. Choosing to live their lives at night, flying from nowhere towards the end of their lives—fragile, dusty wings in tatters. A moth will bounce across a ceiling, orbit a lamp, fly into a flame, or self-immolate like a Buddhist monk.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e—Doug and Mike Starn\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mike and Doug Starn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57844724531582,"sku":null,"price":325.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/2593\/1985\/files\/Attracted-To-Light-Doug-and-Mike-Starn.jpg?v=1786697975","url":"https:\/\/www.setantabooks.com\/en-us\/products\/attracted-to-light","provider":"Setanta Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
