Mesopotamian Cylinder Seals

On the flight to New York City, I was fortunate to sit next to an interesting young woman who grew up in another country and works in a building positioned across the intersection from the high school that my son attended for the past two years (just a coincidence). She has a friend who is from Iran, who has created versions of Mesopotamian Cylinder Seals to be used out in the environment. The link above will bring you a web page showing this part of his conceptual work.

Very Cool, with our sandy beaches on the Mississippi Gulf Coast I may have to try that.
Thanks for the link.

That would be so fun, I've never seen that before. I'd love to make something like that. I have always enjoyed making sand sculptures. Here's a few I have done.

There is something satisfying about accepting the impermanence of the things we build with our hands, while enjoying their fleeting beauty.

Human life is a natural extension of the universal creative force. Suffering is caused by the resistance of consciousness to experience aspects of its own being. Love is complete acceptance, letting go to be enveloped, the more you use it, the more there is, inexhaustible, infinite, the mother of all things. The Universe is ruled by cycles, the ancients knew this, and that their mastery has yet to be matched, I am excited for the future.
