He lowered his trunk,
filled it up like a bucket.
Be water my friend.

and Golden
I once let a monk look at my palms, he held them for some time and then looked me in the eyes and said, “You need to meditate.” I said, “Right?” and he said, “You need to meditate.”
This is a video aphorism, a play on sound and simplicity.

in the Lost Wax process
jewels carved in wax and cast into sterling silver or gold…
Individual carved pieces are waxed together on a tree, an investment mold is poured around the tree and then placed in an oven to burn out the wax and hold at a temperature of 1300 degrees fahrenheit until it is removed and molten silver is poured in… after the mold and fresh metal has cooled a bit, it is slowly submerged in water. The mold breaks apart and metal exposed. Clip, sand, clean up the castings, solder, buff, set the stones, polish and clean and polish and, deliver to new homes!
