goosebumps and happy tears


A response from Sheila Berger to November 4 post~

"...I was struck by your last name--the painting you chose and have felt compelled to write you.


When I began the blue series, I spent many hours at the Natural History museum in NYC. I would look endlessly at the bioluminescent

Finding clarity and light are what we all seek, I believe--so in that spirit, I thank you for your blog and believe it was not an accident that the Lumen found the BioLuminescence...."
