1 In the tranquility of a garden planted with roses and carob trees.
The garden is an ordered space, neither wild nor artificial: a place where law becomes visible through harmony.
The rose and the carob tree establish an immediate balance.
The rose embodies beauty, love, and spiritual aspiration—ephemeral yet radiant. The carob tree, whose seed once defined the carat, introduces measure, weight, and incorruptible equivalence. Justice is born here, at the point of equilibrium between the ideal and the exact, between perfume and number.

2 Welcomed like a brother in this new home.
Here, Justice takes the form of hospitality.

The son becomes a brother, not by blood but by elective affinity.
Justice is revealed as recognition: the equalization of beings beyond origin, language, or destiny.
To be welcomed as a brother is to be weighed and found equivalent, admitted into a living balance where identity is not imposed but shared.

3 I continued to paint the watercolors after midnight.
Midnight is the invisible axis of time, when one day dissolves and another has not yet begun.
To paint at this hour is to act under the law of silence.

Here, Justice is not imposed—it emerges through restraint, patience, and inner alignment.
