In Nature's Realm She's sitting still by the creek surrounded by autumn foliage— Red, orange, yellow leaves burst into bloom— at one with nature like Delius's Paradise Garden, Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony, Dvorak's In Nature's Realm, and Zipoli's Elevazione. Trees and rocks taught Socrates, a murmuring stream enlightened Siddhartha while Confucius said "It passes on just like this." Is she meditating on the rock before her much like Dürer's Melencolia Angel stumped by the polyhedron that baffled all? Let not those conundrums spoil the peace of the present moment: colors will fade, leaves will fall— Breathe this in before it's gone.   — Peter Y. Chou       Mountain View, 12-22-2015
