Yesterday I shared a photo I took of light on Montaigne’s floor, and here is one of the corner of one his fireplaces. I love this double spiral. I’m very familiar with double spirals from Celtic culture, and I have worn a yin yang symbol around my neck for many, many years, but this spiral looks very different. It’s as if each spiral cups the other in it’s curls which, to me, makes it look like each is protecting, even caressing the other.
Do you see that? Or is it just my imagination?
Having seen it my mind turns to the importance I give to kindness, to nurture and to protection. I really think if we try to base our personal and collective decisions on kindness, compassion and the willingness to look after others, I reckon we are starting from a good base. When I hear a political, economic or social policy being advocated, I test it against that. Who is the decision or plan going to affect, and will it spread more kindness, more care, more love?
So here’s my gift to you today….this little image of one spiral caressing the other. I hope it will act like a seed of positivity and love for you, so you and those around you will experience kindness and care today.
