jeez, both of these posts are really beautiful. I've got something for you to take a look at...think Freud claimed he hadn't ever expirenced what he called "the oceaninic feeling" but describes it amazingly in Civilization and its Discontents... I'll find my copy (had never finished it, skipped around a bit and kept going back to this part) and xerox it for you. Talks about the uneasiness, unsteadiness, but feeling in which you feel bonded with the entire world and the whole human race; sense of oneness, boundlessness, limitlessness. Getting wonderfully, ecstatically lost.
that's what I'm talkin about...I bet if you do a google images search on Death Valley and on Joshua Tree National Park you'd find some pretty striking stuff. Probably also Glaciers National Park but I can't vouch for it cause I've never been. Joshua Tree had a big impact on me- I'm not sure if it translates well in photos but it's this desert landscape scattered with these ENORMOUS smoothed boulders that you can climb and explore. Just all the weirdo spaces that they create when they come together...like something out of your imagination that is real, right in front of you...much like what seems to be happening here in this photo.

Perhaps being engulfed in a sea of PINK:)??
