all hieroglyphics

being a photographer, the visual medium speaks to me ceaselessly and with inexhaustible joy. understandable that these lines below really called out to me, to that hopeless photographer within.
"Everything in this world has a hidden meaning, I thought. Men, animals, trees, stars, they are all hieroglyphics; woe to anyone who begins to decipher and guess what they mean. ... When you see them you do not understand them. You think that they are really men, animals, trees, stars. It is only years later, too late, that you understand." 
- Nikos Kazantzakis (Zorba the Greek)
