Thank you R3 for the image of the water bird–be it gander/goose, or duck, it is beautiful.

I do want to add that some academics are artists as well as academics and some artists are academics as well as artists! Some academics may appreciate a pun whether artists or philosophers! Also, I appreciated and enjoyed the information you included here about Hamsa, Miriam, and Fatima–thank you! Very interesting also to those who are enchanted by palm readers and palm reading–it is not really just reading the palm but reading the hand–including the five fingers and for some, the wrist.
