“Seated here in contemplations lost, my thought discovers vaster space beyond, supernal silence and unfathomed peace”
― Giacomo Leopardi
When sitting on an empty bench, in the midst of a forested path, overlooking a lake, river, or the ocean, I find myself contemplating the beauty and awe of not only nature, but of life, itself.

I feel like if I creep up behind you while you are sitting on that bench contemplating, I might scare you. So I am gently saying hi from a distance.
