A SOUL THING
While reviewing the shots I took of this geode yesterday, I suddenly remembered a quote by Plato that I came across online:
"A sensible man will remember that the eyes may be confused in two ways - by a change from light to darkness or from darkness to light; and he will recognize that the same thing happens to the soul."
And as I prepared for bed, thinking of another desk lamp I ought to get in Quiapo to improve the shots I took of the geode earlier in the evening, a passage from Gary Zukav's The Seat Of The Soul also came to mind as if to enhance Plato's quote. It reads in part:
"The human emotional spectrum can be broken down into two basic elements: love and fear. Anger, resentment, and vengeance are expressions of fear, as are guilt, regret, embarassment, shame, and sorrow. These are lower-frequency currents of energy. They produce feelings of depletion, weakness, inability to cope and exhaustion. The highest-frequency current, the highest energy current, is love. It produces buoyancy, radience, lightness and joy."
Have a wondrous Sunday everyone!

I like these series of experimental still lifes here. geode pala ang tawag dyan. Those are amethyst crystals right?
I remember the time when I always have a small amethyst crystal in my pocket. hehe-

we have plenty of geodes here in AZ but not as beautiful as what you have in the picture. i guess, if we look hard enough, we can find good ones.
i am just wondering, do we have geodes in the philippines?-

This amethyst geode came from Brazil and got it as a gift, Belle. Seems like most of the nice ones I've seen all came from Brazil.
Not sure if there are any geodes here in the Philippines. Perhaps, our other blog friends could enlighten us on this regard :)-

I know of other folks in NYC who always keep a couple of various stones in their person, Ferdz, for positive energy and good luck!
