The "SAVE YOUR LIFE" Store
Western Clammyweed
Polanisia dodecandra
Found in sandy washes. Annual. Foliage gives off objectionable odor, especially when handled. Stems are sticky and hairy. A favorite of bees and butterflies.
Same applies to Thomas, below.
Endorsement
One day I asked Mr. Thomas, "What is the most important book in your life?" He said, "THE ONE YOU WRITE." So, here it is within these pages, in the form of his artistic explorations, both traditional and digital, and essays about his personal search for truth about healing and human behavior. FYI, reproductions, in several sizes, of the four panel Grand Canyon Mural Painting, pictured above, are available from his online Gallery.
Enjoy, John Vroom, Webmaster.
