Amazing! Such a tangible link to people from so long ago.. hand prints Cave of the Hands (Cueva de las Manos) is a serie of caves located in the province of Santa Cruz, Argentina. It is famous for the paintings of hands, that dates from 13,000 to 9,000 years ago. Several waves of people occupied the caves, and early artwork has been carbon-dated to ca. 9300 BP. The site was last inhabited around 700 CE, possibly by ancestors of the Tehuelche people. Photo by James P. Blair

“A human being is part of a whole, called by us the ‘Universe,’ a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest —- a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.” Albert Einstein (via samsaranmusing)

“Ah, why
Should we, in the world’s riper years, neglect
God’s ancient sanctuaries, and adore
Only among the crowd and under roofs
That our frail hands have raised?” William Cullen Bryant, from “A Forest Hymn” (via litverve)
