Yesterday I visited the Albertina. Who should be there but the wonderful surrealist, Rene Magritte!

Magritte’s visual explorations of la réalité capture our imaginations.

Magritte confirms something I have suspected or even known for most of my life – we do not know what is; we only know what we experience.

I don’t want to over-analyze it. Rather, I prefer to accept it as a part of existence.
Here are pieces from the exhibit...
