Seeking The Right Direction

[Weather vane - Linlithgow]

It can serve us all to pause and reflect, before deciding on the right direction. 

What feels like the right way in life can indeed lead us far from our true path and what feels unsure can in turn emerge as out most authentic destination.

Shelf Life: The Winged Victory of Samothrace

[The Winged Victory of Samothrace]

--------------------
The Emperor was recently gifted an object of great esteem that now occupies a position of honour on the Imperial bookshelves.

This classical gift was brought back by a member of the Imperial house who recently undertook a cultural pilgrimage to the great Gallic city of Lutetia - modern day Paris.
