"The body is a device to calculate the astronomy of the spirit. Look through that astrolabe and become oceanic."

Rumi
from ‘be Melting Snow’

First, on my birthday, there was the frayed end of a rope and a thousand fish of many colors.

I visited the bookmarked photo a couple days later, but the picture had changed--a single large fish of yellow, blue and green.

Then, a couple days later, thousands more fish, swimming in all directions.

One gift from the sea after another. Given the photoblog is based in a landlocked country, even more quizzical.

Now, this morning, a turtle swimming in the deep blue and a link to rainbows.

This is beautiful:

“The villagers say when a clay pitcher breaks, you see that the air inside it is the same as outside. Vimla...had broken her pitcher; she saw there were no insides and outsides. We are just shells of the same Absolute.”
