Description To run in circles, to chase one's own shadow: a pointless pursuit of a non-existent object, a glimpse of one's self or one's imagination....

the snake makes a feeble attempt to chase after it's own tail.

and then - ?

I love that he's drawing the snake. It makes me wonder if he also created the abstract and beautiful world we see in the background.

Details = Although, it's kind of morbid that the boy in back is drawing the tail right into the snake's mouth, lol! I have to admit the multiple eyes freak me out just a little...

The snake chasing its own tail - Ouroboros?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

pchaness In reply to Ankhalier [2009-07-05 12:40:49 +0000 UTC]

the snake eating its own tail - Ouroboros

if I'm not mistaken, the ouroboros is a symbol that represents the universe (or something like the endless cycle of life).

Buddhist believe that the Wheel of Life is a symbolic representation of 'samsara', the continuous cycle of birth, life, death. One is liberated from this endless cycle of rebirth when Enlightenment is achieved.

It's rather complicated... I've read about it but I still don't understand half of it...

I am a real-life friend of hers, actually. I'm not skilled enough to have a dreamwidth, though, and my LJ is used mostly for community lurking. I'm primarily active here on deviantArt~ But I've heard lots about you from her (all good things, don't worry), and figured I should get around to watching you at some point.
