Description
Life is the flight of the alone to the alone.
~ Plotinus
* --------------------------- *
While Plotinus philosophized on the wonders of the rational mind, he also emphasized the aspects of Unity, Intelligence, and Soul or Life, and believed that the mystical experience transcended reason .... that the mysticism was a major source of inspiration.
* --------------------------- *
When we strip away peripherals and non-essentials, we are left with the beauty and purity of the most basic elements, and if we continue to examine them in solitude, it is then we also find ourselves: the essence of who we are.
My original macro image of the petals of the Centaurea (cornflower) with its delicate, slender petals wafting delicately in the air, captured in natural sunlight; then desaturated ; then squared ..... nature in all its solitary splendour :)
