   This is a really nice image. I love the softness, textures and compositional simplicity of it. I wonder if the star has a specific meaning or purpose. I really enjoyed reading your blog as well. You have some fantastic thoughts on creativity and living. I’m so glad that you commented on my IF submission, I might have otherwise missed finding your blog.

   I love this one! It makes me feel hopeful, like all the terrible things I hear on the news are just about this transition period while the world cocoons and learns to be something better.

    Beautiful. And comforting.

    I let out a big sigh when I saw it.

    Thank you all for the wonderful comments!

    The image was a response to the news about the oil spill. I was a little surprised that such a positive image came from that, but there it is!

    Cheers,
    Dave
