GLOLLAGE OF TEHILA (12x20")

Honoring 13,505 Glorious days of wittiness and light. And for about 1,465 of those, my best friend.

Earth's foremost aesculapian researcher of the most ethnographically oracular order. One of writing's best kept secrets (complete with whimsical collage journal cred of her own). Animal whisperer, eco-stewardess, homemaker, and saucily dismissive comedienne with an old school punk rock tenure. Born on the 26th of Tishrei, 5739 (in the Hebrew calendar), this outright Scorpio is somehow a Libra. Not buying it, though perhaps somewhat of a cusp.

This collage attempts to convey her concentrated, yet multifaceted dedication toward authenticating community [in general (and yours specifically if you so merit)] by espousing a meaningful, no frills attentiveness to people, purpose, and to justice on a level only discernible through clinging to the creator's infinite oneness. It also serves as a prayer for the revival of the lost art of hanging out and for the manifestation of her duteously intended endeavors, that they may reveal some of heaven on Earth for all humanity (under her supervision), along with endlessly ebullient rounds of her scintillating laughter. Thanks to Carmen and Luis for deploying a weapon of mass distinction.
