Dwight was raised in the Baha'i faith and his family is or was at one time was affiliated with the Baha'i Temple in Wilmette, which is kind of an interesting fact. Not for that reason in any way, but instead to meditate upon images of blooming loti and nascent Phoenixes, I took a bumpy bike ride up there last Sunday. It was quite nice, and not at all apocalyptic (i guess sepia can distort what looks lovely in color) as perhaps suggested below.
