A meditation on shells.

"Formed of the fires of creation from the materials of the earth, immersed in ocean waters, filled with air, and possessed of a shape conducive to manifest sound through the ethers, the Universal Mother's perfect design epitomises elemental essence. The hands which grasp it, the eyes which admire its shape and surface, the nose and mouth which draw and expel breath through it, and the ears which thrill to its elevation sound, are all testaments to the existence of the senses and their integral part in the experience of life." -Babaji Bob Kindler, The Ten Divine Articles of Sri Durga.
