Things


Oil painting by Jeffrey T Larson







"Everywhere we seek the Absolute, and always we find only things."
-Novalis
"Every beloved object is the center point of a paradise."
-Novalis

The Self is not a thing.
The Self is not an object,
The Self is pure Subject,
yet it is also things that are loved.
If anything in the world of things is the object of love,
it is the Self.
