Whatever we see without is a symbol of something within.

"Whatever we see without is a symbol of something within.  This earth which is spread out like a map around me is but the lining of my inmost soul exposed."

Henry David Thoreau

 

On my walk today in zero-degree temperatures, I felt the snowy landscape mirror back my own inner simplicity, silence, and vigor.
