I am very fond of Carl Jung, but that quote is new to me. Thank you! It’s such a beautiful thing to envision. Also, I’m typically not much a fan of O’Keeffe, but that’s such a lovely piece.

Carl Jung could not be more needed now. Comforting words indeed. There are some good Carl Jung vids on YouTube. You just want to hug the man for the breadth and kindness of his insights.
