For Macro Mondays - Spiral
-----------------------------------------
It is not surprising to me that ancient people saw the sacred patterns in nature and used them in art, architecture and many other creations. When measured, this spiral reveals that it conforms to the shape of the Golden Ratio spiral, what is known as a "sacred geometry" Photo section of this spiral measures 2.5" wide by 2" high. HMM, everyone.
This is one of the Sago Palm pups from my larger Sagos that I potted up this Spring. It’s very tiny..

This abstract and beautiful flower called Caesalpinia pulcherrima was created with PicsArt. A big thank you to Master Ben Caledonia for the scientific name of this Beauty!!! Enjoy with Love, Light and Sacred Geometry You!
This black-and-white photograph captures an ancient stone engraving of the Eye of Providence within a radiant triangle. Common in Christian iconography, the symbol represents divine omniscience and the Holy Trinity. The weathered surface and cracked masonry evoke a sense of time’s passage, while the surrounding shadows enhance the solemn, almost sacred atmosphere. Found in the old cemetery beside Oberhofenkirche in Goeppingen, this emblem serves as a reminder of faith, vigilance, and the eternal watchfulness of the divine.
The dome of the church of San Jerónimo el Real, Madrid. The medallions represent the coats of arms of Castille and Leon.

Why do things work the way they do?
Why do some combinations of form and light tickle so nice
I like it when everything is balanced like a tight-rope walker at the point of not quite falling

I love photographing this beautiful Nautilus slice that I've owned for many years. HMM, everyone ! !
as the sun bathes rome in gold, a single bird rises between domes and dusk, like a silent prayer stitched into the sky. time pauses, the skyline listens.

This metal bracelet / cuff measures 0.75" wide, the part with the symbols is 2" side to side including the symbol that goes into the shadows.
This is a metal bracelet was gifted to me by my Mom. I am proud of our Irish / Celtic heritage and wear this cuff bracelet often.
The Celts used sacred symbols and geometry in much of their art. Spirals and repetitive patterns were a common theme - often related to the Earth.
HMM, everyone ! !

in the silence of midnight, porto holds its breath. a single bell tower looms against the void, its clock frozen like a heartbeat between dreams. the church rises from shadow like a relic of stillness, lit only by the reverence of light.

In the March 1925 issue of "Masonic World", an article on the cathedral states:
“It is particularly fitting that the Masons, who were the principal builders of cathedrals and churches during the greatest cathedral-building period, should now have a prominent part in the movement to build America’s greatest cathedral (…) Little need be added to the story of Freemasonry during the cathedral-building period; its monuments are its best history, alike of its genius, its faith and its symbols.”

A circle in the sand created by Marc Treanor using 'sacred geometry'. Completed in about 3 hours between tides, only to be washed away. A thought provoking illustration of change and impermanence...
🌘 Une éclipse partielle du soleil transperce un nuage incandescent.
La lumière est voilée, filtrée, presque irréelle – une forme inversée de clarté.
☁️ La structure nuageuse évoque une aile, un souffle, un dragon céleste.
Les contours sont déchirés comme des filaments d’encre dans l’eau.
La scène semble peinte, hors du temps, entre nature et abstraction.
🎨 Les couleurs : bleu pétrole profond, rose pâle irisé, blanc cendré et reflets violacés.
Cette palette n’est pas réaliste – elle est visionnaire.
Le bleu évoque la profondeur du mental,
le rose la tendresse cachée dans l’intensité solaire,
le blanc la transcendance,
et les reflets pourpres la transformation spirituelle.
🔮 Symboliquement, cette image est un passage.
L’éclipse, en tant que phénomène, a toujours été perçue comme une suspension du réel,
un point de bascule entre deux états du monde –
le visible et l’invisible, la lumière et son repli, la conscience et sa frontière.
️️ Le bâtiment sombre en bas à droite ancre la composition dans le terrestre.
Il rappelle que toute contemplation du ciel s’effectue toujours à partir d’un lieu, d’un corps, d’une ombre.
Equipped with a 50-megapixel ultra-wide sensor measuring 1/1.3 inches, featuring an auto-adjustable aperture from f/1.4 to f/2.0, and fitted with an ND64 neutral density filter for enhanced exposure control.

Works of art are of an infinite solitude, and no means of approach is so useless as criticism. Only love can touch and hold them and be fair to them.
Nothing touches a work of art so little as words of criticism: they always result in more or less fortunate misunderstandings. Things aren't all so tangible and sayable as people would usually have us believe; most experiences are unsayable, they happen in a space that no word has ever entered, and more unsayable than all other things are works of art, those mysterious existences, whose life endures beside our own small, transitory life.
~ Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters To A Young Poet ~

The vision of the center of this mandala beleaguered me in the same night when I completed Kabeirô – and I even was told its name: Worlds within Worlds.
Instantly, I sensed a profound aversion to both the image and the name, and for about one week, I refused to start with the work on the mosaic.
Then, one sleepless night, I had another vision which was very weird: before I saw anything, I had the sensation that my body was a tremendous, overdimensioned black sphere which had a very small white sphere in its midpoint; not till then, I saw the image of the black sphere, but somehow two-dimensional (onyl the small white sphere in the center was three-dimensional), but I knew that my body – more precisely: my whole self – and the image were one and the same, and that something with it was quite wrong.
Then, after some frightening minutes or hours (I really don't know), another image arose: a white sphere, much smaller than the black one, and with a small black sphere in its middle. This white sphere was outside of my body, I only could see but not sense it, and the feeling of something quite wrong got stronger, and very scary.
The third image which arose after another frightening minutes or hours, was exactly the same I already had seen after I had completed Kabeirô: Taigitu, the symbol of life itself as well as the symbol of the polarity which forms the basis of everything in this wonderful and appalling world.
Not until then, when Taigitu arose, I understood what was wrong with the first two images: the black and the white sphere were meant to compose ONE sphere: a complete whole INSIDE myself.
On the following day, I started working on the mosaic, for I was completely aware of the NECESSITY of creating it. I just had one wish: that I was allowed to find a second name for the mandala which was concordant with my longing for staying integrated in the world of Greek mythology.
I worked on the mosaic from sunrise to sunset, and late in the night, I finally got to know the name I could welcome from the bottom of my heart: Kybele.
Kybele (English: Cybele), the great God mother of the mountain Ida (Latin: Magna Mater), was a goddess who originally was deified in Phrygien, together with her lover Attis, and later also in ancient Greece and the Roman Empire. The cult of Kybele and Attis was – similar as the cult of Mithras – a widespread mystery cult up to the Late Classic Period. The whole legend concerns apparently the gender dualism; it explains the origin of the world by an interaction of the male and the female element of the universe: the heavenly Attis must inseminate the mother earth Kybele with its blood so that the world can arise.
The mandala is not yet completed; I suppose that it's going to be quite huge and that I'll work on it for a couple of weeks, but I don't know definitely... – well, we will see. ;-)
