Contemplation - a photo on Flickriver

Contemplation

            A man must find time for himself. Time is what we spend our lives with. If we are not careful we find others spending it for us. . . . It is necessary now and then for a man to go away by himself and experience loneliness; to sit on a rock in the forest and to ask of himself, 'Who am I, and where have I been, and where am I going?' . . . If one is not careful, one allows diversions to take up one's time—the stuff of life.
― Carl Sandburg

(funny how, at the time when Carl wrote this, they used to always just say "men." In my opinion, it should be changed to "people." I know I need time all by myself sometimes too)

Zoom in and take a look around :)
