Seeing 2011 (#145)

For your consideration: perhaps for the foliage congregated herein, a nightmarish outcome (life after death becomes a rather wooden pedestrian journey).

For the rest of us, this scene may be at once soothing and edged with unresolved tension . . . Where do these paths take us? What to make of the platform affording an elevated vantage point, yet does not seem to promise a clear view to the way out?

An odd construction seemingly in midst of a forest, echoing the overarching nature of one's journey: strive as we might to find a path to enlightenment, in the end the Unknown remains just that, until we pass out of sight and through the unseen portal.
