blessing bowl today
Tao being everywhere
ever flowing life.

In creating everyday, Tao, the Spirt, the Goddess is the source of my creations and when manifested in photos, words or painting, my inner spirit is filled.

    Great close ups of that bug -- we call them candle flies.

    i want to softly stroke
    that moth-y one
    but
    never a good idea...


    still
    you make her look
    friendly
    enough
    for such
    a thing...

    That moth is on the right side of the screen--that is the outside! I can appreciate his beauty there, but not when they fly into my coffee or buzz around my head.

    Really appreciate your sharing your paintings and drawings with us regularly. Love to see how individual artists interpret a subject.

    Love the idea of blessing your bowl, it sounds like a good idea. I'm reading at the moment about a ritual of blessing one's head for what it will receive. x
    Namaste x

    What an amazing shot of your summer guest! I love how moths stay still and let you get a good look at them, as opposed to butterflies and other bugs--

    My dogs like to chase moths, though, so if the dogs get a look at them, there's no peace for anyone--

    Awk! That a prettier version of the moths that were dive bombing my face this summer...lol! I wish my influx had stayed quietly on a screen and left me alone. ;)
