in fact if it is ok (if it isnt it
may be too late but I will then remove
it) I think I will put
your image on my journal today
with credit of course.

if one writes quickly and doesnt always
have much to say, and one is me for sure,
it is a happy thing to have something good
to post!

somehow the image also suggests this userpic
of the firebird so why not use it...?

Excellent. Molto gentile, as they say on the island. Your high praise is deeply appreciated.

Pleasing in this instance is an understatement, because I ran across your post not more than a half an hour after I made the image.

The discs in Kandinski and most especially in Klee's "limits of understanding" suddenly made me realize why I was so attracted this morning to my mug of steaming tea.

I've long believed that accidents are rare in photography. The decision to frame and press the shutter button is informed by the subconscious, and like dreams the resulting images have immense personal significance, which becomes apparent only later, upon examination.

Your quoted lines intensified the experience:

"...out of a complex of lines and shapes like a cluttered mind a ladder rises and reaches a limit. beyond which, as Jung notes, the symbol appears. a cricle of the acheived self beyond the limits
of thought."

Many thanks for providing the insight and subsequent understanding!
