A sacred addition to our home

During our brief time at Ananda Assisi, we finally had a chance to visit our friend, Shantidev, at his Meditation Art studio.

I had been admiring Shantidev’s artwork for some time and, once we were there in person and I saw this beautiful (but small) spiritual eye, I just knew we needed it for our (small) apartment.

We had it shipped home and it finally arrived the other day. Needless to say, we love it!

Friday inspiration: the goal of life

I don’t know who combined this Jyotish painting with the image of the spiritual eye, but I love it and thought it would be a beautiful vision on which to end the week.

Have a blessed weekend, everyone!

Photos instead of words

After lots and lots of detail work today, I think I’ll give my brain a rest and share a few photos from this week. 🙂

Not sure what was so funny!
Spirits were definitely high…
