All Aboard Earth mural

This mural, on the side of the building at 333 W. Cordova (that is, the side of Clafoutis bakery), is about a year old - I remember seeing a group of young people painting it this time last year, and wondering if they were safe, in such proximity ... even as I admired its vibrancy.  All About Earth is a Santa Fe multimedia environmental education collective, and this is an image of a Universal Mother - it's actually called All Life is Sacred, or The Great Coming Together, which sounds suspiciously like an anti-abortion piece, but I genuinely don't think it is - it was painted with the idea of offering something uplifting during the pandemic, at a time when we were all feeling much more separated and disconnected than we wanted to be.  The "universal mother" in the center is an homage to the Tewa people, on whose lands we are; the animals include a buffalo, a deer, a snake, a roadrunner, and a giraffe (I do not know why a giraffe - why not a bobcat??) and there are a number of healing plants.  Please, please don't let us be going down the isolation route again - we just received an email from the university's Chief Medical Officer saying thay they'd let us know by the end of next week if it would be an online start to the semester or not ...
