St. Francis

Patron saint of animals and the environment and of rejected 1970's era gag-gift Chia Pet rams, so many of them in unopened original boxes unappreciated with chia seeds useless and outdated by decades. So sad, unwanted gifts put away in a closet and forgotten, the rudeness of being not really a gift put away, in the basement, attic, garage until the recipient finally dies and their things rummaged and still nobody cares to have the clay ram.

If only they understood how brilliant these things are.

The crab nebula was painted in the basement of my parents house way back in my teens when they tolerated me just so, "go do that stuff downstairs." The photograph of Red Rocks outcropping was taken a few weeks ago. It  hangs opposite the four geologic images shown earlier.



Correction: Orion nebula.

Way to find the genius of Chia. Put the statue somewhere else and you'd have the perfect ensemble of 50 year old Chia Rams under the 300 million year old sandstone.

Genius revealed moves beyond finding to invite. No need to put the statue somewhere else for genius to be revealed and invitation realized.

"He who works with his hands is a laborer.
He who works with his hands and his head is a craftsman.
He who works with his hands and his head and his heart is an artist.”
