When cultures meet
.
Here I combined
▪︎The Japanese symbol [円相] ーEnsō, deriving from Zen Buddhism, which among other things represents enlightenment, emotional and spiritual balance, the void, the universe, the imperfect perfection, our innermost self.
And
▪︎The Greek word [ἀέναον] ーAènaon
(Using the ensō as the letter α, then writing the letters in a vertical row)
Which refers to the ever existing, like the universe, our energy, our spirit, the perpetual creation/distruction/creation circle of life.
It always fascinates me how much we can learn about the world and the self if we observe languages as pieces of the Cosmos puzzle.
