- Translation for a blog in 2013 O'Dell: 'Man' meaning mankind
Whose poem is it anyways, Hafiz transcribe over 6000 poems in his lifetime, we do not know in today's world if he was a plagiarizer or a scribe.
Personal Post Note:
The sphere is the shape of form, beauty in itself-attractive to the eye magnetic to the soul
Our Sun
Ancient sphere sculptures are the most compiling archaeological evidence that links the human psyche to Orb phenomena. The idea of the sphere has captured the imagination of the earliest peoples. Sphere sculptures have been documented in Northeast America, South America and even as far as the Polynesian Islands. A high intensity of finds is clustered in Costa Rica. While staying in a hotel in San Jose Costa Rica I noticed that the compound was surrounded with pillars and on top of each pillar was a cement sphere.The Inn keeper explained that they represent actual sphere stones found in the Costa Rican jungle. Later viewing Costa Rica museum sphere stones, a guide confirmed that each of the stones were painstakingly crafted by hand without the use of metal tools. Theories have a wide range of religious, economical, and navigational applications. But the museum expert felt that there were some perhaps spiritual or cultural purpose for the work but this is unknown. Whatever the case, the mystifying beauty of the sphere, still captivates the imagination perhaps because it is the shape of form, beauty in itself- attractive to the eye magnetic to the soul (O'Dell)!
