The Mountain Meru
The mountain Meru is a cosmic mountain of the world. At the beginning of creation the world was covered by a vast ocean, the world ocean. At the bottom of this ocean rested a turtle, upon which sand was gradually deposited. From it, the mountain Meru, the center of the world arose.
-Tibetan Mandalas Tatjana Blau
The mountains do not move in the wind. It is a world that I have experienced many times, since I was a child, lucky I may be, the mountains is a place I love to be, I always feel refreshed after spending time in them and, amongst them.

Dedicated to my family, friends, and my loved ones. You know who you are.

Mahaloness is an art blog documenting the inner spirit and artist journey of Shane Haltman, also referred to as 'hälts'. He lives, breathes and makes art in Canada. Hälts often travels to remote and exotic locations to produce community spirit murals and paintings using available materials. He is unconventional in his approach to art and chooses unique projects and sometimes they choose him. He is known for guerrilla lawn art shows, painting helmet art for a Canadian Olympic Athlete, and once painted a magic bus out of this world. Mostly he is human as anyone else, however very driven and disciplined with respect to his artistic practice. He has experience working with the bereaved and helping people who are experiencing, or who have experienced trauma in their lives. He also enjoys working with the youth and passing on his wisdom, usually in the form of art jams. Hälts is a full spectrum artist, living and breathing art, as a daily practice, in this mixed up beautiful world.
