Quietly / En Silencio

“Happiness is like a butterfly which when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.”
(" La felicidad es como una mariposa, cuando la persigues, siempre esta fuera de tu alcance, pero cuando te detienes en silencio, puede posarse sobre ti.") Nathaniel Hawthorne

Abandoned Car. An old Volkswagen Brasilia.

The Doors of Perception is a 1954 book by Aldous Huxley.
The title comes from William Blake's The Marriage of Heaven and Hell:
"If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, infinite.
For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things through narrow chinks of his cavern."
