Condolences.

It could be worse. I might think I was me.

It could be worse. I might think I was me.

Or, perish the thought, @JustGeorge {shudders}

Mine is a photo of where I live. Where the field ends is the edge of the town. Four of my kids are seen in the canoe in the river.

That would be really bad...

 

[Jainarayan]

Mine is Sri Krishna, playing his flute. He is my idea of God. He plays his flute and draws people to himself. The Devanagari text is om namo bhagavate vāsudevāya meaning I bow to the Lord within all.

Please explain why you have chosen your particular avatar and how it represents you.

Mine is a Bengali drawing of Śiva. (It is in the public domain.) It represents me as a Śaiva Hindu.

According to one of the AI image generators I use, mine is what a 'frubal' looks like.

That’s fascinating. Your explanation has prompted me to do the same with an AI video generator.

Mine's a selfie.

Or "was". But I do like this one, too.

Oh thank you, I decided to change things up a bit. The Otter is my Native American Spirit Animal. I really relate to it!

How interesting! Mine is the rabbit.

Mine is Aum.

A few here have mentioned the reason behind their avatar of choice, but I'm curious about many others. Please explain why you have chosen your particular avatar and how it represents you.

Mine, a cosmic spiral, represents my belief in life, death, and rebirth as our spiritual journey circles around and around, yet still progesses forward.

My avatar is the cover poster for Ronnie James Dio's Holy Diver album. Dio is my favorite metal vocalist, and "Holy Diver," from the eponymous album, is one of my favorite songs.

Have you listened to Dan Vasc's Amazing Grace, or Angels We Have Heard on High? I'm not a fan of metal, but these two blow me away every time I listen to them.

I have, and I like both! Dan Vasc has a great voice in general.

This is my favorite cover he has performed:

Nice! I can imagine that voice on stage in a Rock Opera. It would be powerful!

 

[Twilight Hue]

I find our true balance lays within the harmony of extremes. The optimal position being the center of both extremes where one does not overtake the other.

Not always good, but not always bad either.

I find the twilight to be representative of it alongside the landscape and the dynamic changes it brings with my personal practice of Buddhism to be a vehicle for my life.

The scene is tranquil yet imposing as things dynamically shift requiring attention.
