Back home looking around

Today's goddess:


The Venus of Hohle Fels is probably one of the most famous goddess figurines. carved of mammoth ivory about 35,000-40,000 years ago. She was found during excavations at Hohle Fels Cave in southwestern Germany, and is just 5.9 cm high. There's a loop for hanging her as perhaps a pendant rather than her head.

Remember craftsmen and women only had bones and rocks like flint to make carvings with at that time.

Today's quote (do you want these again anyway?)

We often don’t ask people what matters to them. We ask how they are doing. That’s not necessarily a bad thing. It may be perfect for getting a conversation going.

Maybe the better question is what engages you? And what do you know enough about that you know you need to learn more?

I don’t love putting people in boxes. I’d rather be there when they opened up.
