كان لودولف باكهويسن رسام ألماني تدرب في البداية على يد والده ليصبح ناسخاً. في عام ١٦٤٩، إنتقل إلى أمستردام حيث أمّنت له مهاراته الرائعة في الخط العمل كموظف لدى واحد من أكثر تجار المدينة شهرة. في النهاية قادته براعته الإستثنائية في الرسم إلى ممارسة مهنة الرسام، مما أدى إلى نجاح سريع. كان لباكهويسن شغف خاص بإلتقاط تأثير الطقس على سطح البحر، وهو موضوع قدّمه بخبرة ملحوظة. بحلول الجزء الأخير من القرن السابع عشر، أصبح فنان المناظر البحرية الرئيسي في هولندا منتجاً لوحا�� بحرية للرُعاة الملكيين والأرستقراطيين عبر أوروبا. يمكننا تقدير موهبته اليوم بهذا المشهد البحري الرائع.
نرى ثلاث سفن شحن من نوع لعب دور محوري في تعزيز الازدهار الهولندي أثناء القرن السابع عشر. حاملة علم الجمهورية الهولندية باللون الأحمر والأبيض والأزرق المفعم بالحياة، تمثّل هذه المركبات الثراء الوطني بينما تتمايل بشكل خطير بالقرب من شاطئ صخري. لقد عانت كل سفينة بالفعل من خسارة صاري ويمكن رؤية أدلة على الحطام في الحطام العائم في المياة الرمادية الفولاذية في المقدمة. لكن وسط الكارثة الوشيكة يظهر بصيص من الأمل، إذ تخترق آشعة الشمس الذهبية السحب النذيرة بالشؤم مشيرة للبحارين المُحاصرين أن العاصفة على وشك الإنحسار. يُعد هذا المشهد تذكير مؤثر بعبور الحياة.

In the Darkest Times, Pray
Matthew 8:23-27
During the storm, Jesus' disciples cried out to their Master in desperation: "Lord, save us! We are perishing!" This is a de profundis prayer. It comes from Psalm 130: "Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord. Lord, hear my voice! Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications!" It is the prayer offered at the darkest times of life, when we feel utterly incapable of helping ourselves.
Perhaps you yourself are in this precise situation. Perhaps your life is sinking, or you're recovering from serious injury or emotional pain, or you've just received some devastating news. Perhaps you find yourself caught in a terrible, unrelenting depression. Maybe you've just lost a loved one, and you're awash in a sea of grief.
If that's you, then pray as the disciples did. Awaken someone who can help. Jesus sleeping in the midst of the storm is a very powerful symbol of God's sovereignty over even the darkest and most difficult trials that life throws at us.
Bishop Robert Barron

Ships in Distress off a Rocky Coast, 1667 by Ludolf Backhuysen (mostly because that painting makes me think of him so much ahh i love that painting)
Do they have recurring themes in their nightmares?
Yes. Being alone in a dark place. Typically a cave or in his office late at night. There are some times nightmares of walking through the city alone where all the power is out
So lots of being alone. Its a nightmare because the mounting dread he feels while sleeping.

He can play the piano. Literally never shows anyone. But he can. He cannot do really complicated pieces though.

Gospel Reading
With the coming of evening, Jesus said to his disciples, ‘Let us cross over to the other side.’ And leaving the crowd behind they took him, just as he was, in the boat; and there were other boats with him. Then it began to blow a gale and the waves were breaking into the boat so that it was almost swamped. But he was in the stern, his head on the cushion, asleep. They woke him and said to him, ‘Master, do you not care? We are going down!’ And he woke up and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, ‘Quiet now! Be calm!’ And the wind dropped, and all was calm again. Then he said to them, ‘Why are you so frightened? How is it that you have no faith?’ They were filled with awe and said to one another, ‘Who can this be? Even the wind and the sea obey him.’
Reflection on the painting
Ludolf Backhuysen was a German-born Dutch painter, active in Amsterdam. He was the leading seascape painter at the end of the 17th century. In order to paint the seas in great detail, he often went out in a boat to make drawings of the waves up close. Many of the surviving drawings he made are quite creased, torn and worn because of the weather conditions in which he would have made these whilst being on his boat. This ardent study of the seas shows this intense realism and faithful imitation of nature. We see Jesus just after waking up, his hand still by his face. Saint Peter is holding his arm outstretched, pointing towards the stormy seas. The reflection of the boat in the sea and the moonlight hitting the waves make for a unique spectacle.
Storms are a test. It is during the storms of life that we discover so much about ourselves, about our friends, and about our faith too. And these storms can arise suddenly. Literally one phone call, or one doctor's visit can make us go from peaceful shores to stormy seas. What is beautiful in our Gospel passage today is that we see both the humanity and divinity of Jesus on full display. In his humanity we read how exhausted Jesus is from all the work he had done that day. He was even sleeping through storms. In his divinity we see his omnipotence and power over the seas and winds.
Jesus rebuked his disciples for their lack of faith in God, their lack of trust. Jesus was with them; that should have been enough for them, even as the storm howled. Jesus is with us too as risen Lord, as we battle with our own storms in life. If we keep our focus on him at such times, we will come to share in his own peace and rest.

A (Needed) Perspective on the Christian Life (Acts 27:39-44)
“There are many rooms in God’s castle. There is, however, one key that opens every room, and that key is a broken heart.” Ba’al Shem Tov
Paul’s Shipwreck, by Ludolf Backhuysen (1630–1708) When daylight came, they did not recognize the land, but they saw a bay with a sandy beach, where they decided to run the ship aground if they could. Cutting loose the anchors, they left them in the sea and at the same time untied the ropes that held the rudders. Then they hoisted the foresail to the wind and made for the beach. But the ship…
