Delicate circles, Oh so bright, Shimmering shells in it’s eye.

 

They say peacock feathers represent pride, nobility and glory.
The feathers are a symbol of incorruptibility and immortality.

They are a symbol of integrity and the beauty that can be achieved when we aim
for a way to better ourselves.

The Greek myth, the goddess Hera placed eyes on its feathers to symbolise 
all-seeing knowledge and the wisdom of the heavens.
The feathers represent the God Lakshmi's qualities of kindness, patience and good fortune.
And the Buddhists believe that the feathers are associated with openness and
that they have the ability to thrive in the face of suffering.

Extremely symbolic, wonderfully beautiful and now they sit dotted around my house to 
remind me of the deep meaning they exude. 

They remind me :

To be proud but not arrogant.

To be dignified but not superior.

To be powerful but not overpowering. 

and  to be strong but not intoxicating.
*Peacock feather meanings from numerous sites.
