Stack That Gold My Friends!!! ..

Recently, within the first half of the year, I picked up these here gold coins. They were a gift from my parents. What a great gift! Who doesn't like getting a little gold from time to time.. FOR FREE!!!! The problem is, my stack is slowly diminishing.

Molly and Pepper-(RIP) Above, are keeping a watchful eye upon my gold coins .. hehe

So Today .. I decided to dig a few of them out and take a closer look at the stack. I grabbed a handful of them, without gloves and with some haste. Hey, that's just how I roll sometimes. I didn't give it a second thought or care how the acids from my natural oils, would affect them.

All Eyes On The Gold! None of that silver junk here.

I noticed .. How some of them were showing signs of wear and tear. These were OBVIOUSLY circulated specimens. I cared not. Look and see for yourselves how the edges are dinged and dented, how there are groves across the faces of the coins.. most likely from rubbing against one another. By now, most of them are illegible.

Yet still I find myself getting lost by the compelling luster and lure of this gold. "L I B E R T Y" .. Kennedy .. The Majestic Eagle .. This is just TOO MUCH!!!

I can no longer resist .. So I start to tug and pull against the rim of the gold coins, digging my nails into the rough section along the reeds.

Like an Oyster .. It gently popped open, revealing such a sweet goodness .. Oh, and the smell! A cocoa nutty delight.

Without hesitation, I slip the pieces into my watering mouth, and it's gone for good.

All that's left .. Is a slight aftertaste of chocolate, and what was left of my stack.

Sometimes we just have to face the truth.. Some gold is not meant to be stacked forever and must be sacrificed for a more important cause...

Hunger.

I am glad that I have a few more gold coins left in my stack. How long they last is yet to be determined!

“Like magic, she felt him getting nearer, felt it like a pull in the pit of her stomach. It felt like hunger but deeper, heavier. Like the best kind of expectation. Ice cream expectation. Chocolate expectation.” ― Sarah Addison Allen, The Sugar Queen

Well, In the case above (for Molly and Pepper) it would be a 'Popcorn Expectation'!

Thank you for swinging by my blog and checking out the post. Have a great day!

About Me ~ The Artist

My art work incorporates a wide variety of subject matter, including landscape, seascape, cityscape, and still life images. My works are the product of a continuing process of exploration through which I seek to portray personal and visionary interpretations of my surroundings. My paintings are impressions of places and events from everyday life, an interpretation of my imagination, and personal responses to what I see and feel on a daily basis. More recently I have invested generous amounts of time into my landscape painting. I am surrounded by natural and man made beauty, which inherently presents itself in the tri-state area, and almost demands that I paint it.

Not everything is art. Art is not everything, but it comes close. Art is everywhere and all the time. Art makes you experience the beauty of the world, the people in it, and the places we call home. Art itself is so influential that it can tell stories, show feelings, and express passion or fury. Art exists in addition to language; expression of sensations and thoughts, revealing a way of thinking too subtle and delicate for words.

For me art requires love, honesty and perseverance. In return, it reveals some personal, non-analyzable, and creative untamed passion. For the public, art with its magnificent beauty, improves mood and health and builds better human beings and communities. It engages the intellect, softens the heart, strengthens the soul and frees the spirit.
