Ancient DNA reveals earliest known dogs lived alongside Ice Age humans The bond between humans and dogs is one of nature's most enduring partnerships, but exactly when it began has long been a mystery.

Ancient DNA analysis shows that domesticated dogs lived alongside humans in Europe and western Asia over 14,000 years ago, indicating an early and widespread human-canine relationship. doi.org/qw78

Life’s most sacred wonders
are not always loud or grand;
they are often in the stillness,
gentle ordinary gifts that we
so often hurry past
-AshRawArt

Wishing you all a gorgeous and joyful weekend. Be well gentle souls.

Mapuche chemamüll (wooden funerary statues) at the anthropology museum in Chile. They were used to mark graves and represent the deceased.

I found the extraordinary interesting! I might have taken dozens of photos of them.

A Mayan monkey tail spiral design, often found on Classic Period (300–850 AD) polychrome ceramics, primarily symbolizes the mythological transformation of the Hero Twins' older half-brothers into monkeys. It represents a blend of punishment, artistry, and the cyclical nature of life. The Popol Vuh Transformation: According to the Maya creation epic, the Hero Twins (Hunahpú and Ixbalanqué) tricked their arrogant older brothers, Hun Batz and Hun Chuen, into climbing a tree. The tree grew impossibly high, and when they tried to climb down, their sashes turned into tails. The spiral tail is a direct reference to this transformation moment. Following their transformation, the monkey brothers became the divine patrons of artists, scribes, musicians, and sculptors. Therefore, the motif often signifies creativity and the arts. The spiral itself, sometimes called Hunab Ku in this context, represents the continuous movement of energy, transformation, and the balance of the cosmos.

A small wild heart stands on the sun-burned edge,
feathered from dust, salt, and stubborn light.
Around it, the cliff keeps the memory of storms,
but it answers the whole roaring sea with grace.

To look into empty space is not merely to search for an answer.

It is to encounter the strange possibility that what appears empty may be the most fundamental presence of all.
