The Origin of Pieces...

If you're lucky, every once in a while, you get a glimpse at the inner workings of your mind. You find the telling source, or approximate origin of how you think... and why you do that thing you do. I recently had such a revelation in a place I've been to many times over many years. Even in the simplest, most abstract pieces, there is a source literally built in stone.
