What works for one seeker of enlightenment may or may not work for another. If listening to JS Bach’s Mass in B Minor does not work, consider something quicker and quieter. Pay really close attention to some of the mundane miracles of everyday life.

Portal ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #243
One Way Among Many
Stiff slick paper slides
between thumb and blade to form
a spiral portal.
Here are 2 quick questions for anybody inclined to think they have already paid close attention to the curling phenomenon:
(1) Does the paper curl toward the thumb or the blade?
(2) Why?
Confession: I could not remember which way it curled at the time I took the photo. A few later repetitions answered (1) in the same way. It curls toward the blade. Dunno about (2).

A door of enlightenment!?

Yeah, I’d normally say just [door] or [entrance]. But enlightenment is a big deal and the phrase [portal to an alternate universe] came to mind. So I went with the challenge’s gold-plated word. Glad U liked the post.

<grin> I enjoy the gold-plated adjective … or, rather, metaphor.
And I’ve always loved the blade/thumb/paper trick.
Nifty convergence of art and imagination. 🙂
