So this picture is that story. You can see the three seeds in the tree. Adam is a dead rat, and the angels are all around him.

The angel tells him (Seth) to take the seeds back to his father and place them under his tongue. Seth does this and a sacred tree grew up out of the body of Adam. I love this story because we get to become trees. It's the only way any of us are getting back into the garden!

There’s an old story about Adam’s third son Seth, who returns to the garden of Eden to ask the angels to forgive his Dad (after his Dad dies). The angel with the fiery sword feels sorry for him and gives him three seeds from the tree of knowledge.

That's great. Such an important practice to pursue!

They fired Australia's pick for Venice Biennale because they were afraid he would speak out about the atrocities in Gaza. He didn't say he was going to do this, they just assumed it because of his race. So they cherry picked a work from his career and said it was pro terrorism. Then humiliated him.

Yes I agree. Are you mob?

It doesn't disintegrate, but it can't be fixed either. And with the decomposition chemistry permeating the paper it's a biohazard. So I make high res scans and then annotate them by hand. The originals are wrapped in black plastic and safely stored.

It's the one near Manar, just up the road from Braidwood!
