The meaning is

"It's written"

It's also the key word

that is written on the book much.

When you gaze this art,

you will notice what

there is the wood grain

When you see it in different angle,

the dark point turned to be shiny.

Also this art work has

different painting in the back.

・Important thing is beside you / inside of you.

・Two sides of the same coin / yin and yang

・The world is changed as the way to see

The boy's name was Santiago.

Dusk was falling as the boy arrived

with his herd at an abandoned church.

The roof had fallen in long ago,

and an enormous sycamore had grown

on the spot where the sacristy had once stood.
