Thanks for the link! I love reading on mythology, both ancient and modern. This pic is of the Farnese Atlas, which is in Naples. It is not only the oldest surviving sculptural depiction of the god himself, but also the oldest rendition of the celestial sphere - the oldest known map of the heavenly constellations in existence today.
CE QUI EST GRAND EST AUSSI PETIT ! ET CE QUI EST PETIT EST AUSSI GRAND . Cela dépend pour qui , et surtout de l’endroit où l’on se trouve : lieu , chemin de vie , conception espace/temps de chacun …mais je sais que chaque chose , même petite à mes yeux , peut-être grande à mon coeur … et chaque petite chose existante fait partie d’un tout et sa nécessité met grande
si l’on considère cela pour chaque chose , on peut comprendre l’universalité ,et l’amour de chaque chose et de chaque instant qui construit l’univers et aussi chaque être

My husband has spent several vacations in the Atlas Mountains. He is from Morocco. I hope to visit one day as well.
