the dark sighed

dropping off the edge of nowhere  /  everything I've ever known
The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts... ~Bertrand Russell

Adventures at Jardim Botânico, part 2

The third, or ajna eye, caught on camera

A random shot of dense foliage in the Jardim Botânico

01) The third eye (also known as the inner eye) is a mystical and esoteric concept referring in part to the ajna (brow) chakra in certain Eastern and Western spiritual traditions. It is also spoken of as the gate that leads within to inner realms and spaces of higher consciousness. ~ photo by Trisha
