Our new banner

It began with my search for an image that could represent the whole of a human life which I wrote about in Ship of Pearl, Coils of Time over at Legacy Matters. 

I wanted the image to show different stages of life spiraling into increasing states of consciousness.  I wanted it to represent entelechy  - that vital force that directs an organism toward full realization of its potential, a force that drives us all.  I wanted both the acorn and the oak.

The first image I used was a neutron radiography by W.Fecych which I found at the MIT Nuclear Reactor Laboratory.  The new images come from From Earth to Sky, a gallery featuring the watercolor works by physician artist Zen Chuang.

I was so impressed with his watercolors and his story that I wrote about him at the Business of Life in Fill Our Lives with Beauty.  Zen lives an integral life, combining art and medicine, science and humanism.  He's an example of someone who's found his purpose and meaning in life and is living his legacy.   

Someone once said that the purpose of life is to live a life of purpose.  Living a life of meaning and purpose, living a legacy and making your legacy a gift to the world is what Estate Legacy Vaults is all about.  Organizing your vital information and documents in ESOL is the first step, freeing you to focus on your purpose in life and the legacy you will leave.

I am so pleased Zen Chuang has kindly given us permission to use his images in our banner.
