You have helped encourage me to re-open that door and start working again – writing and painting. Thank you so much for the support. The quote from War of Art given above by Michael G is so apt. My life is bereft without artistic expression, but when I begin to doubt my abilities that doubt is so painful that it's easier to walk away. Right now I'm getting tremendous pleasure out of working. I can't imagine giving up again. Oh, and I love the photo of the green moth too.

Thanks for picking up where he left off, Martha.

Just today the Garden section in the paper wrote about the "not so beautiful" moth contributing so much to pollination in many plants. In South Africa the moth plays a big part in life! If you eat outside on a hot summer evening he flocks around you and lands in your meal, if you have a candle he hovers and sometimes burns with his effort to be in that light, if you sit under a lamp in the garden he flaps around constantly interrupting the evening peace, yet he is a vital part in the universe of nature though annoying he may seem at one given moment. Moths are beautiful in a soft, furry pastel way, not like a butterfly but just as important. I shall watch for the moths when on my upcoming trips!

I love the part about the earth. It touches my heart. Also the photographs are terrific. Especially the green moth. Beauty in unknown places. Kind of reminds me of the banana slug Nigel and I saw in Big Sur, at Ragged Point. Reminds us to keep our eyes open and hearts tuned to be true adventurers into this vast wilderness of life.
