Kuan Yin, Avalokiteshvara

My friend Toby just told me the name of the goddess in my header. So, of course, I went to read about her. She is Kuan Yin, Avalokiteshvara, the goddess of compassion and healing. I had taken the photograph because I thought she was beautiful and because she brought me a sense of comfort--as many beautiful images do--and now I find that she is a healer.

I will have much more to write about this at a later time, but I did want to share the story of this little god with you.

How great to have it identified. It is such a peaceful image.

Coincidence? I think not. :)

Where is this goddess that you were able to photo of her? She looks very serene, like she's saying, "It's going to be OK."
