From the Tarrochi Celtici, Belenus (the Sun); from the Art of Asia, "Shells" by Suzuki Kiitsu:
Belenus, also known as 'the Shining One,' was an ancient Celtic healing god. The eagle included in this painting suggests clarity, a type of healing that is more mental than physical. Here is the chance to see what has been hiding in the shadows, tucked away in our blind spots. These things might seem frightening to acknowledge, but by accepting them we can make better informed choices as well as healthy changes. Kiitsu's painting is paired with a quote from Anne Morrow Lindbergh:
One cannot collect all the beautiful shells on the beach. One can collect only a few, and they are more beautiful if they are few.
AML's words encourage us to embrace simplicity and a sense of 'just enough.' We don't need to bulldoze everything and rebuild from the ground up. Yet we can begin with small steps, perhaps choosing first to change those ideas and actions that have caused us the most suffering.
We again are somewhat of the same page. Reason and Intellect can really get in the way sometimes.
ReplyDeleteOur intellect can rationalize the irrational sometimes. :)
