man is but the place where I stand


.




I do not value any view of the universe
 into which man and the institutions of man 
enter very largely and absorb much of the attention.  

Man is but the place where I stand; 
and the prospect hence is infinite.






~ Henry David Thoreau
from his journal, 1852

Indeed... Thank you!

Do you know what's become of Rod MacIver? I know he gave up his painting several years ago, but never heard where he went or what he's doing...

Don't know, he had a web presence for a while, now I see his web address is for sale. Glad you asked, hope all is well with him, sure enjoy his art.
