Reaching High

Feb 10, 2023 by Ron Jones Leave a Comment

 

Paul Klee, Black Columns in a Landscape
Black Columns in a Landscape

What I am trying to reach is a far-off point, at the source of creation, where I suspect a single explanatory principle applies for man, animals, plants, fire, water, air and all the forces that surround us.
– Paul Klee

I love this high-flying quote by the famed artist. It matches the tenor of my own life quest even if it exceeds my wildest dreams by a wee bit. :)

But then, perhaps only by a wee bit, as I have long believed that we can discover “explanatory principles” and evolve into bigger, better fellow human beings in the process. In fact, I have always been motivated to work on precisely that project. Starting with myself, of course.

And the more of us who take up the challenge to evolve into bigger human beings, however we may go about it, the easier that quest becomes for all of us.
