Dear Laura, I have to say that I really like this post. Not only because both, the illustration and the quote, are really nice, full of melancholy and wisdom. Also because, you won't believe it , it has made me think a lot and, at the end, to achieve a kind of self-awareness.
I was kind of amazed when I realized of the different mental reactions that I had after looking the illustration and after reading the quote. When I looked the illustration the reaction was an immediate "I like it!" without , I'd say, superior thinking. After realizing that I liked it, I tried to figure out why I liked it (I know, I'm too analytic :D ). On the other hand, when reading your quote the process was like the other way around. First, reading it, understanding and then "visualizing" the idea that you want to transmit (or at least, that I think that you want to transmit :D), i.e. a lot of (unaware) superior thinking... and then I "felt" that "I like it!". The result was the same, I liked both things but it was nice to be aware (here comes the "self-awareness") on how the brain (or at least mine! :D ) works. So at the end I delighted not two but three delicious bread crumbs :-)
I guess that this is one of the main aspects of the art.... to transmit ideas and make people think. So, I can only say, thanks for being such a good artist-baker! :D

And after so much thinking, my musical proposal cannot be other than Massenet's "Mediation" from the opera Thaïs.
Au revoir!
