Nature as teacher.

Yesterday's post about the passage of autumn to winter was written with sadness as, on Sunday night, I had heard that Denis Hopper had died and I had always admired his wild, wild ways.

Today I received the news that Louise Bourgeois had died at age 98 from a heart attack.

Louise Bourgeois was an immense creative force and a great inspiration to all women artists. Like the autumn leaves, her creative spirit burned brightly until the end of her life.

When I am saddened by the void left left by the passing of these two wonderful creative people I find comfort in the continuing cycle of seasons.

While I would like to babble on about taking the time to observe the natural world and preserving this precious resource I think you know what I am saying!
