Beauty is the convenient and traditional name of something which art and nature share. Iris Murdoch


Canadian wildfires are sending smoke down to where I live in Northern Michigan. Some days the sky is all haze and the sunlight appears almost like the beginning of a solar eclipse. Today there is little wind, and it smells like smoke in the air. I feel fortunate that everyday day there still is beauty around me. Art is a strength in times like these.
