We must become so alone, so utterly alone, that we withdraw into our innermost self. It is a way of bitter suffering. But then our solitude is overcome, we are no longer alone, for we find that our innermost self is the spirit, that it is God, the indivisible. And suddenly we find ourselves in the midst of the world, yet undisturbed by its multiplicity, for our innermost soul we know ourselves to be one with all being.
Hermann Hesse

Love the colors, the shadows, and the symmetry.

Thanks, Faye. This was taken the week before Thanksgiving at my sisters house in Phoenix. I looked up and saw exactly what you saw, colors, the shadows, and the symmetry.

Yes, like Faye, I love the many shapes, textures and patterns in this shot. It also feels welcoming.

Gifts like this pop up all around us. I’m not always ready but was on this occasion.
