I stopped by this gallery on a prompt from Eric's "Ruminations [ . . . ]" blog, and glad I am that I did . . . I had, until just a few moments ago, been having an oddly down, frustratingly "off" day. But these soothing, intriguing, calming works have helped bring my head/heart into a better place. Thank you artists one and all (those of image & word) .

You have truly captured the essence of the moon in; "Sumptuous beauty above, mirrored below, peaceful … completely quenching solace." I love words and how they can be played with...and you played them well..:0) Eric, having time to absorb your words I am struck by the lines; “Sequesterd by an ancient oak” and “benefiting a simple soul such as I”…beautiful.

I love going to museums but am often struck by a piece here or there that just didnt click. When opened the door (clicked on the tab to the bookmark) the world softened....the light took on a moonbeam aura and the sound of the fast past disappeared. Am amazed as to what we are as a group from all over. Fanny; thank you for this inspiration this month and Vikki all the time and effort you give to make these moments....You all make this world beautiful these days!

This gallery struck me as a whole first, my eyes not falling on any in particular longer than another. And, Eric, I think your poem is such a moving accompaniment. Now to go see them individually :) How beautiful the colors of all your artwork blend together! This gallery struck me as a whole first, my eyes not falling on any in particular longer than another.

Definitely my favourite anyway . The inspiration I felt for the subject has obviously been shared by everyone and I feel proud to have instigated it!

I’m firm believer that writers are just artist by a different medium. So, I decided to give Eric a challenge: write a small piece for our upcoming themes, too. He accepted the challenge and will be working on the themes right along with us. The Moon River gallery is so beautiful. You all did an amazing job. It’s really so soothing just to view all of them together- each one flowing into the next. I agree. This is one of our best galleries so far. Vikki Isn’t Eric talented!?

I agree. This is one of our best galleries so far.
