"In most ancient cultures, people believed that everything, even so called inanimate objects, had an indwelling spirit, and in this respect they were closer to the truth than we are today.  When you live in a world deadened by mental abstraction, you don't sense the aliveness of the universe anymore.  Most people don't inhabit a living reality, but a conceptualized one." Eckhart Tolle  A New Earth

I'm in the process of  adding individual photo galleries for each piece. At the moment they appear around my site in no particular order. Eventually, I will either alphabetize them or group them according to clan.  Everything seems to be evolving rapidly lately. I'm trying to keep up!
