Stitch

At the moment I'm reading a book from Rupert Sheldrake. He really wrote some interesting things. And that's what this illustration is inspired by. This is about a man with an amputated finger which he preserved in a pot in a heated cellar. One day he felt a dreadful cold in his absent finger. The doctor told the man to take a look at the pot. So what appeared: the window near the pot in the cellar had been broken. As soon as the finger was taken to a warm place the pain in his missing finger disappeared.
This tells me that things that were once connected to each other continue to influence each other on a distance even after the material contact has been broken. Well anyway, this is what can happen when bodyparts cannot be stitched together again.
