I found this miraculous Halloween leaf
on our weekend trip to the cabin.
I've spent quite a bit of time
trying to figure out how some
little artistic insect
ate such a delightfully
symmetrical jack-o-lantern design in it.
Wild works of art by a tame lady?
Love the earth and sun and animals, Despise riches, give
alms to everyone
that asks, Stand up for the stupid and crazy, Devote your
income and labor to others . . . And your
very flesh shall be a great poem.
Walt Whitman
I believe it is no wrong Observation, that Persons of
Genius, and those who are most capable of Art, are always fond of Nature, as
such are chiefly sensible, that all Art consists in the Imitation and Study of
Nature. On the contrary, People of the common Level of Understanding are
principally delighted with the Little Niceties and Fantastical Operations of
Art, and constantly think that finest which is least Natural.
To see the world in a grain of sand, and to see heaven in a wild flower, hold infinity in the palm of your hands, and eternity in an hour.
William Blake
You cannot shake hands with a clenched fist.
Indira Gandhi
Often the hands will solve a mystery that the intellect has struggled with in vain.
Carl Jung
It is necessary to keep one's compass in one's eyes and not in the hand, for the hands execute, but the eye judges.
Michelangelo
I looked at my hands, to see if I was de same person now I was free. Dere was such a glory ober eberything, de sun came like gold trou de trees, and ober de fields, and I felt like I was in heaven.
Harriet Tubman
The place to improve the world is first in one's own heart and head and hands.

Wow! Quite a neat find. I wonder what made the design?
Good eye! It is a miracle. LOVE IT!! I bet your little entomologist has an idea of what could have eaten it. Or was it something not from this earth? Wa-ha-ha-ha....
I love it!
Happy Halloween!
