So many things to like in this image...the snow on the tree, the bold colors of the sky and mountains, and then there is the time you took to frame this moon just perfectly between the branches of the tree. Well done, indeed.

~ Pure Visual Poetry, dear Bijan ))) It's Amazing how much Beauty can be contained in such a tiny little eye ))) Framed with great sensibility ))) ~
Bijan Pirnia replied:
Hello beautiful Eva Maria. so sweet of you to keep in touch. You do my heart a lot of good, my lady. I thank you for that. It is true that we all look at the world with "tiny eyes;" but beauty is in human soul not in the eyes. Countless sages throughout history have written about that. Their messages have been consistently the same, which is this : Beauty is not out there. It's in your soul. Ralph Waldo Emerson once wrote, "TO THE ILLUMINATED MIND, THE WHOLE WORLD IS BURNING AND SPARKLING WITH LIGHT." For thousands of years, Rishis of the Ayurvedic tradition of India have been expressing the universal truth that applies to all of us : I AM NOT IN THE WORLD. THE WORLD IS IN ME. I AM NOT IN THE BODY. THE BODY IS IN ME." "Me" is not this flesh and blood mortal shell that will decompose and return to dust some day. "Me" is a unique manifestation or expression of the ineffable, inscrutable reality we call God.
