I am left to wonder, will anyone else see it? That day in the forest when I looked upon the marble bear, alive with the setting sun, what did I witness? Was it only sunlight on stone, or Father's spirit, or a reflection of my own? It seems to me now that such a moment requires a kind of trinity: you and I and the thing itself. Eowyn Ivey
About This Quote

You and I both stood in that forest. We looked upon the marble bear, and we felt the setting sun. We were both filled with awe and wonder at what we saw, and we both knew it was something more than simple sunlight on stone. We felt a presence there, we felt the spirit of the thing itself. As we stood there in awe, we were filled with a kind of joy and excitement to know that what we saw was more than mere sunlight on stone.
