Title: Nature as Metaphor

My favorite:

Midnight
Midnight is the center. It touches both night, and a new day at once. It touches both dark and light. It exists between past and future. The point that transcends time. Neither of two opposites, but a center between them. The center beyond duality that is real freedom.

I enjoy the pics of 'River Knowledge.'

"Have you also learned that secret from the river; that there is no
such thing as time?"

That the river is everywhere at the same time, at the source and at
the mouth, at the waterfall, at the ferry, at the current, in the
ocean and in the mountains, everywhere and that the present only
exists for it, not the shadow of the past nor the shadow of the
future.
-- From 'Siddhartha' by Herman Hesse
