I was open to anything when I began looking for these images. I’d found a few things that made me happy when I saw the wet monkey with his tongue sticking out (how can you not be open to a wet monkey sticking out his tongue?). Then I found the money falling into the hands, and that is something I’m open to. At first I thought about passing it by because I seemed to be in more of a spiritual happiness pattern, but then it became obviate that I needed to use this as a central image because all things are connected. I sprinkled parts of the images I loved among the dollars and coins to show that I want everything. To me the monkey reigning atop things is a reminder not to take everything so seriously. He’s my little patron saint of enjoying life.
