Which Way 71

A single-panel digital illustration by artist Lee Sampson from the "Which Way?" series, split into two horizontal sections. In the top section, a stark, jagged mountainscape rises against the sky. The characters are out of sight, with a speech bubble extending from the side asking, "What's the dictionary definition of life again?" In the bottom section, the view zooms in on the steep climb: the blind donkey pushes the wheelbarrow from behind, the dog strains at the front pulling it uphill, and the goat sits comfortably inside reading from a dictionary. The goat reads aloud, "Life. Noun. The condition distinguishing active organisms from inorganic matter, marked by metabolism, growth, and adaptation." The dog replies, "They skipped some parts." The illustration features the quote by Søren Kierkegaard at the bottom: "The highest and most beautiful things in life are not to be heard about, nor read about, nor seen, but if one will, are to be lived."
