I must be entirely by myself,
and know that I am alone
in order to see and perceive
Nature completely. Nothing
should stand between her
and myself.
I must give myself to my
surroundings, must merge
with my clouds and cliffs
in order to become what I am.
Caspar David Friedrich
(1774-1840)
German Painter

Yes, thank you. I’d like a day with a moment or two of this packed into it. *sigh*

Beautiful words…and the brief moments when you manage to do that, must say, it feels heavenly.
