(M.C. Escher)

“Coherent, and even beautiful scenes from a distance, are often chaos up close. They’ve been organized, by someone, but yet often it seems as if they’ve been done so purposely to confuse — or maybe, to force us to step back, think, and re-evaluate what the heck we’re doing and what exactly is going on. It makes me think about all the 14,000 ft. peaks I’ve climbed, with all their false summits. Walking up the mountain’s side, you can’t see its top…and then, when you think you do, you reach it and also reach the stomach-sinking realization that it is false. The mountain is toying with you, pilgrim, playing with your mind — but all the while it’s leading you on. You can’t turn back now, because there is something, waiting, still ahead — and even if it is only another false summit, still, it part of the picture…..you just can’t see it yet.”   Mysteries Internal  (Always nice writing at Mysteries Internal Blogspot)

Check Out M.C. Escher’s Work 

I had borrowed the image from an art blog and it was not sourced. I saw the author of the post was named Tiny so I referenced him, initially. Then my smarty pants kid came home and immediately knew who the artist was because he has a collection of books about Escher’s work.
