It's the beauty within us that makes it possible for us to recognize the beauty around us. The question is not what you look at but what you see. Henry David Thoreau

A river seems a magic thing. A magic, moving, living part of the very earth itself.

Happy Holi!

The spring "Festival of Colors" has been a popular subject of Indian painting for centuries; here is a detail of a relatively large panoramic scene produced at the court of the Nawabs of Avadh in present-day Uttar Pradesh in the 1760s:

Let go of all ideas and images in your mind, they come and go and aren’t even generated by you. So why pay so much attention to your imagination when reality is for the realizing right now?

“The occurrence of an event is not the same thing as knowing what it is that one has lived through. Most people had not lived — nor could it, for that matter, be said that they had died — through any of their terrible events. They had simply been stunned by the hammer. They passed their lives thereafter in a kind of limbo of denied and unexamined pain. The great question that faced him this morning was whether or not had had ever, really, been present at his life.”

— James Baldwin, Another Country
