so it goes.

this last year has been the worst of my life. i am currently living in a parking lot out of my vehicle and in a fair bit of debt. my brain is not working very well either right now. i am seeing too much of the worst in everything, and that is preventing me in being able to authentically participate in the abundantly wonderful experience of web3 as well as a number of other basic things. about 3 days of the week out of 7 i am experiencing the after effects of severe trauma, and years of isolation. i also currently do not have any where i can stay other than my vehicle.

in short, is time to re-establish a safe place i can call home, and get professional help.

this project is dedicated to every artist and amazing human changing the world every day with their hard work, effort, and craft. i hope someday I am healthy enough again to be able to meet you all with presence and balance to better honor the worlds and shelter you dance so "effortlessly" into being, that have saved my life on so many occasions.

this artwork represents where the fashion industry meets a space beyond the ego, in the liminal gap of our collective dreams, and a refutation of orthodox medical diagnostics done without consent to the future beyond their comprehension, as well as the abject biases and failures of the for profit legal system when applied to the words, lives, or free thoughts of poets/dreamers/artists. i have chosen to launch this peace on ethereum where i have spent almost 1.5 years learning about the crypto space, where in a paradoxically formalized and orthodox setting, with silence and without label, the 5d metaverse tesseract of the human condition is slowly waking up across a symphony of verses contributed by extraordinary & capable visionaries that transcend borders and old world lines, as well as acknowledge some of my greatest teachers in a homage to master tier calligraphy often absent from the contemporay fashion scene, the distances our art simply cannot contain, as represented by the three formal empty spaces between words in the written element of the above peace, as well as a subtle reference to some of my favorite artists working today.

i wish someday to follow in the footsteps of the best who relentlessly make art that heals and uplifts, that bridge worlds, and in a way that is real, fun, and inclusive. i hope you will consider acquiring one of these editions to help me make it home safely and help me get back to a place of stability. i have seen a great many sad things this last year, and people i've trusted have done their absolute worst to me, but ultimately i believe when we choose to carry forwards and see the light in each other, rather than allow cynicism to win, we change the world on a decentralized quantum level that allows us to live with more humanity, respect, and a better understanding of the divine in each others stories and truths, with respect for the privacy and consent necessary for us all to coexist.

at the current juncture, i am too damaged and unwell to be able to properly participate in the dance being cocreated by amazing people all over the world, and at the end of everything, the only thing i can think of that will honor the amazing connections i have made this year in spite of everything is to really heal. by minting one of these eclectic editions, you will be helping me do just that.

as an ordained priest in the U.S. and international waters of over 8 years via a certificate i bought off an internet church of universal love and acceptance for $20, I can also say there is at least a 50% chance minting one of these peaces of art will , can be good for your psychospiritual development

choose poetry, dialogue, and above all, choose peace. thank you for the memories!
