Not you alone, proud truths of the world!
Nor you alone, ye facts of modern science!
But myths and fables of eld‐Asia's, Africs fables!
The far‐darting beams of the spirit! ‐ the unloos'd dreams!
The deep diving bibles and legends;
The daring plots of the poets ‐ the elder religions;
‐O you temples fairer than lilies, pour'd over by the rising sun!
O you fables, spurning the known, eluding the hold of the known, mounting to heaven!
You lofty and dazzling towers, pinnacled, red as roses, burnish'd with gold!
Towers of fables immortal, fashion'd from mortal dreams!
You too I welcome, and fully, the same as the rest;
You too with joy I sing.
Walt Whitman, Passage to India, 2, Passage, O soul, to India!

Then I went on, and my feet seemed to be a long way off, and everything seemed to come from a long way off, and I could hear my feet walking a great distance away.
Ernest Hemingway, The Sun Also Rise

I've got a map in my car that wants to be used, and I think there are places we can go that need to be seen. Maybe no one else will ever visit them and appreciate them or take the time to think they're important, but maybe even the smallest places mean something.

John, thanks for another intriguing render.
Your renders are almost always provided with supporting interesting quotes en entertaining music links.
Of course the essence of your works is clear to you. In this case I've to guess for it. I suppose that this render, together with the above mentioned 'attributes' and title, is probably meant again as a metaphor. If so - although I did some, not successful, 'exploration' (in analogy with your title) - it's however not clear to me which figurative mirror you're holding to us. To my humble opinion, it makes the by you've done effort a tad less effective, and that's a pity for sure.

If you think you can't accept something, try to change it. But if this doesn't work, don't be frustrated, but give it later another try. The one who perseveres wins! Please CLICK HERE to see my journal! Feel free to save my images or to add them to your favorites.
