I have always been drawn to life as mystical, magical, nothing short of miraculous. It is with this that comparative religion, philosophies, ancient histories, mythologies sing to me.
With me now are two finds. Old and new. A compilation of old in the new. A new discovery in something old.
Yoga The Art of Transformation.
It is a collection of art and essays published by the Smithsonian Institution in line with the exhibit showcasing 2,000 years of yoga as art.
Here's the link to the exhibit: http://asia.si.edu/exhibitions/current/yoga.asp#
and an article: http://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/Yoga-The-Art-of-Transformation-Exhibit-Preview-210876621.html?device=iphone
Here's the link to the book on amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1588344592
The other find is from my collection, given by my beloved Aunt Zita who shares my love of the esoteric.
The Secret Doctrine by H. P. Blavatsky.
Two volumes of mapping spiritual roots including Hinduism, Kabbalah, Buddhism, Islam and Christianity among others. I must be ready to receive more knowledge to have gotten signals to explore the readings more deeply.
Today's biggest find is this - a message of hope in full. Although, unwell at the moment, I am grateful.
