You do not need to leave your room.
Remain sitting at your table and listen.
Do not even listen, simply wait,
be quiet still and solitary.
The world will freely offer itself to you
to be unmasked,
it has no choice,
it will roll in ecstasy at your feet.

Emily Carter ~ Nature as Art 
Ahh……a lovely connection between quote and photo!
I really wonder just why she was doing that. Some things we’ll never know.
Wow! A great quote. I read a lot of Kafka in college. Should probably return to it now that I have more life experience.
I remember reading one story as well. I think it was called The Cloak. Great writer. Thanks Tricia.
Beautiful quote!
Thank you Mary ! Hope all is well with you.
Perfect! 🙂
You really are too kind Madhu. Have a great day!
Perfect connection between photo (a great one), Kafka and title… 🙂
Thanks Drake ! Means so much that you liked this one so much. 🙂
Excellent combo of quote and photo!
It’s like tea and biscuits. How is the swamp Phil? I’ll be visiting soon (virtually that is.)
Heh heh, yup.
I think I’m going to be heading over soon, I have to see what my alligator pals are up to.
Sort of like Siddhartha Gautama, I believe. This is an excellent quote, and summation of an old teaching. Love the photo too and goes with the quote.
You are too kind Robert, and I’ve never heard of Siddhartha Gautama. need to look him/her up. Thank you so much.
Siddhartha Guatama is the man who became Supreme Buddha and is considered the founder of Buddhism. Herman Hesse wrote “Siddhartha”, the book that introduced him to western culture.
Oh interesting ! Thank you so much for sharing this with me.
I would rather be in the boat floating in the sea and watching the sky. Is she pointing her finger up to show us where the sky is? The quote is very reflective and the photo as well.
Wouldn’t you just love to know what she was saying and thinking? Perhaps she was showing us where to look. Thank you so much Perpetua.
Now, I didn’t need to look twice this time, I knew what it was straight away.
LOL ! You are too funny!
