“The surrender to odd, irrational forms in nature produces in us a sense of harmony of our inner being with the will which made them born and end up seeming to us our own creations, the work of our whim; we see the boundaries between ourselves and nature quiver and dissolve, and we become acquainted with the new state of mind when we are unable to decide whether the lineaments of our body result from impression received from outside or from within us. In no other practice is it to discover how creative we are and to what extent our soul always participates in the continuous creation of the world.”
Hermann Hesse, “Demian”
