Once in a lifetime
The maiden of the triangle
Aligns with the universe
Giving the chance
To be in the ‘harmony’
With the supreme light.

Really!? I didn’t know about it though. What’s the significance of the number 3? I have heard about 7 only. Eager to know from you, Sri! Thanks for your kind words.

Yep. Three is a number of divine. The Celtic trinity (maiden, mother, crone), the trimurtis (Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva), the Wiccan triple goddess, the pure ones in Taoism, etc. This was appropriated into Christianity as the holy trinity (father, son, holy spirit).
Symbols like triquetra and treskele also deal with the similar ‘tri’ concept. 🙂

The Holy Trinity does hold major significance in Hindu mythology too if I’m recalling correctly. That ‘Harmony’ is so elusive and we’re ever seeking. Hope we all can attain it someday. Nicely put in few words Swarnali

The triangle is an interesting metaphor that represents balance & harmony. I pursued the idea of a ‘once in a lifetime’”‘ and ‘maiden of triangle’ experience, and in doing so, discovered a deeper grave interpretation—the path to eternity revealed itself. I shook my head in wonder.
