vintage persol ratti
# 647 52[_]72 140
made in italy circa late 70s
new with tags

i used to think original ray bans utilised quality lenses & master craftsmanship.... until i encountered the genius of persol by ratti! these are serious frames. more than just sunglasses but works of art! looking through these lenses will change your perception of reality. & this pair does not even have the trademark persol flexible frame. brace yourself for an upcoming masterclass!

something about the number 11 speaks to me. it's not only a great number but so too a great word. if i ever have children my 1st born will be called eleven. there is a symmetry & balance to this number which is comforting. 11 therein, you even find the word even! do you ever find yourself checking the time, or even compelled to look at the clock at an arbitrary moment & frequently find the time to be 11:11? is this time prompt a spiritual checkpoint & like a deja vu, tangible reassurance you are on the right cosmic path, or is it simply our brain's reticular activating system becoming attuned to the extra-ordinary & finding meaning where there is none. what is the meaning of life? a life of meaning perhaps? or perhaps finding meaning here is mere justification of the inconsequential sequentials. instead of over-thinking the moment we should instead let go, experience it & over-flow with gratitude for the nothingness of deep space.
