Thank you 🙂 It’s a search we all share, yes? And we follow so many different paths…

You’re welcome! 🙂
I think we do—either consciously or unconsciously. In fact, it is a search beautifully symbolized in the “blue flower” in the context of German Romanticism.

Sure! I’m glad it made it to your list! You will probably come across Novalis’ novel “Henry of Ofterdingen”, which is actually the origin of that symbol, and a very recommendable book. Let me know if you begin to read it!
