Subtle Spectacle - A snowflake symbolizes individuality. Due
to their geometric forms they also represent perfection. Their clear and glassy
formation also represents purity. When it snows it seems that the world falls
into a tranquil meditation and therefore snowflakes also represent serenity,
peace and tranquility. Symmetry is another manifestation of the balance of Yin
and Yang, of the unimpeded flow of ch'i

Manic Monday!
Free Spirit - The ancient Aztecs believe that the dearly
departed souls return as hummingbirdsand butterflies. The Mandarin Chinese word for butterfly is
"hu-tieh". "Tieh" means "70 years", therefore
butterflies have become a symbol for a long life. If a butterfly crosses your
path, it means good luck. In the Japanese culture butterflies are thought to be
representative of young maidens and marital bliss. In ancient Greek the word
for butterfly is "Psyche", which translated means "soul".
Butterflies also symbolize: Resurrection, Transition, Celebration, Lightness,
Time and Soul. Symmetry is another manifestation of the balance of Yin and
Yang, of the unimpeded flow of ch'i.
