"10 Pages"

on my milestone birthday I performd "Gildzen at 80" on the beach in Monterey. at the end of the piece I dug up some sand from the middle of the zero & put it in a Ziplock bag.

I wantd the sand for another piece I was doing -- "The Earth Jar."  I used what I needed but still had sand left in the bag. at one point I gave Christine Anthony & Owen Masterson one of the pages from Gildzen at 50 I used in the Monterey piece along with a little bag of the sand. but there was still enuf sand to call me to do more.

then last nite after hitting the pillow my wandering mind came up with a new piece. I decided to take 10 pages from Gildzen at 50 which I'd used in the Monterey piece & affix the sand onto them with glue. I have no idea how long these pieces will last but I'm pleased with them. & now my multiple decades can be celebratd in numerous places.
