    Doesn't that give you pause and provide just the loveliest sensation of calm and tranquility? Impossible to look at something like that and not feel more at peace. :)

    Benton or Benten is actually a goddess in Shinto lore. Here's her description. It's obvious as to why you would resonate with this image, considering Benton/Benten is it not?

    Benton/Benzaiten (弁才天 or 弁財天)

    Also known as Benten, she is the goddess of everything that flows: words (and knowledge, by extension), speech, eloquence, and music. Said to be the third daughter of the dragon-king of Munetsuchi, over the course of years she has gone from being a protective deity of Japan to one who bestows good fortune upon the state and its people.Derived from the equivalent goddess in Hinduism Goddess Saraswati.

    Why, DM dear, I had NO idea that Kawase Hasui was also on your bad list. I mean a simple Japanese print? Who knew?

    I do hope you enjoyed the post devoted to you below. Heartfelt, really.

    Hugs and atheist good wishes to you! I'm just hoping that the quantum field brings you mental healthcare.
