The Tower of Babel is #biblical_story and @Origin Myth meant to explain why the world's peoples speak different languages. [1] According to the story, a united humanity in the generations following the Great Flood, speaking a single language and migrating eastward, comes to the land of Shinar. There, they agree to build a city and a tower tall enough to reach heaven. God, observing their city and tower, confounds their speech so that they can no longer understand each other, and scatters them around the world.

"The Tower of Babel is a warning about trying to reach the infinite through finite means." ~ @Charles Eisenstein, @The Ascent of Humanity

Shortly after reading the above in @The Ascent of Humanity, @My Label Maker arrived and I was inspired to create a reminder for myself. @Teddy, my trusty water bottle, became the canvas.
