Orange Coin Good El Salvador ~ Pais#1

THE FIRST IN A SERIES HONORING COUNTRIES THAT ADOPT BITCOIN

This is an historical work, marking the event Bitcoin became legal tender in El Salvador. It features El Salvador’s national bird, Toroguz, and its national tree, the Maquilishuat. When the female on the upper branch glances down at the male’s tail to determine his fitness to be her mate, her gaze is caught by the brilliance of the bitcoin in his beak. He is sure to win her affections, as he has both the tail, and the coin!

Mosaic Construction: Each piece of glass is cut by the artist using a variety of tools. The thinset and grout used in this piece are premium grade, manufactured for underwater applications. Substrate is moisture-proof cement and fiberglass coated foam. Steel reinforced. Hanging hardware is installed through the substrate and beneath the mosaic itself, bearing the full weight of the piece. 36″ x 48″/weighs 35 lbs.

Presence.

I used to sing to my young children, “Oh Gentle Presence”, an old hymn from my upbringing.I will forever remember the moment I realized that Nicky thought I was singing about presents. Hmmm. What could a gentle present be? Maybe a gift of your presence.

Senior Morning Stretch: Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving, my friends!

I have wanted to post a video series to share with you some simple routines that will help you feel great! This idea has been on my mind since my first attempt (outtake above) way back in September. The attached video was produced by my pal, Glad Devotee, on.. →

A Good Trade

Noqkwivi is tapkiqwnova, a Hopi specialty entrée. White corn hominy and tender lamb stew served with blue corn frybread.

My new acquaintance, Vernon, led me 22 miles from the Navajo reservation onto Hopi lands. I had been “invited” by my other new friend, Andi, a beautiful Navajo woman… →

Sunset at Grand Canyon – Yikes!

On the single day I had at the South Rim with no fog or rain, I determined to capture its magnificent sunset views. Rather than hop the shuttle at Bright Angel trailhead and hop off at each of the viewpoints along the South Rim for a photo op (which is what everyone else that evening was up to), I.. →

Love Abbey! Walmart! McDonald’s!

I admit it: I love Walmart – and I love McDonald’s.

When I was all tucked in and cozy within four walls, eating organic eggs and fresh radishes with leaves for breakfast and shopping organic, that made me feel great and I don’t diss it at all. Sometimes, however, our rules must .. →

Losing My Religion

Remember REM’s song, Losing My Religion? I’ve never been a fan of religion, even though I have a strong mystical sense. During grade school I would sneak out to the woods to converse with the trees and angels. I sat in my bedroom reading Emerson, Thoreau, and Castaneda. One of my very favorite.. →

Don’t Give Up on Love.

“Don’t ever give up on love,” said Underworld Traveler, my old friend and esteemed shaman, who I visited and journeyed with a few weeks ago. His beautiful partner, Minister of Song, drummed with him – two drums, not one – a magnificent multi-dimensional sound to assist my journey.
