Seeker of Truth, Beauty and Wisdom

“Until we stop harming all living beings, we are still savages.”

- Thomas Jefferson (via humanskinsuit)

“All the lives we ever lived and all the lives to be, are full of trees and changing leaves”

- Charles Elton, from “Luriana Lurilee”, quoted in To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf (via growing-orbits)

“Take wrong turns. Talk to strangers. Open unmarked doors. And if you see a group of people in a field, go find out what they are doing. Do things without always knowing how they’ll turn out. You’re curious and smart and bored, and all you see is the choice between working hard and slacking off. There are so many adventures that you miss because you’re waiting to think of a plan. To find them, look for tiny interesting choices. And remember that you are always making up the future as you go.”

- Randall Munroe, xkcd: volume 0 (via the-perks-of-being-an-asshole)

Late Classic

Maya

This woman sports a common Maya female hairdo, parted at the middle, with stepped bangs and a bun sitting high on the back of the head. She wears earrings, a twisted-cord necklace, bracelets, and a simple, high-waisted skirt. Remaining paint suggests that either her breasts were exposed or that she wore a revealing, sheer blue wrap. Her sexually-charged costume, distinctly Maya beauty, and inviting gesture imbue the figurine with a strong sense of sexuality. Similarly rendered figurines are sometimes accompanied by old men, and, as items included in burials, may have served to ensure men sexual bliss after death. Her appearance also resembles that of the seductive Moon Goddess.
