This moth. This moth. Which predator will dare to attack it? To eat it? Look at those eyes. They look as if they belong to some monster. Things like this are so fascinating. Was it an accident of nature that allowed some mutant moth child to survive and mate? To cause an eclipse of moths to take over some edge of wood, of forest?
And again, the eyes.

For this day and night, when everything is misted over and the whole world is silent. Here we say our prayers and understand what matters.
I do not understand how anyone can live without one small place of enchantment to turn to. ~ Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings ~ Image “Fairytale” by Junko Tamura
Oh yes. And a very smart man, a very sick man, (both the same) once said to me, It’s imperative that you have a place in your mind where you can go when you need. You won’t always have a book nearby, or a piano, or music, or something to cling to. When you need to go somewhere to retreat. Somewhere you can survive. Well, your mind that is. I don’t know how related or connected is your you and your mind.

So many photos, pieces of art, make me think of books. Here I have Robinson Crusoe, Treasure Island, Mutiny On The Bounty… But not Moby Dick. No, not that. The ship’s too small, the sea too calm. And there’s no dark November in my soul.

I cannot imagine our lives here in this beautiful country without all of our national forests and parks and rivers all protected. How fortunate we are that people like Muir and Roosevelt saw the future and knew we needed to be saved.
