Ah an aurora.  Those don't happen too often at the latitude I live at even though I'm about as far north as you can get in the US.  They CAN happen but just not frequently, at least there's never been one here in the four or five years I've lived here.  I want to see one in real life one day but I guess I just have to be patient.

Thanks for commenting. This collage was taken from a diorama at the Museum of Natural History. In it I put great grey owls which are very rare for any bird watcher to see in nature (although I have seen horned owls and saw whet owls up close at a historic house/nature preserve but they were hibernating). I may due to the advanced tardive never be able to travel again but it is well worth it to travel to Alaska to a view an aurora borealis. This collage takes a lot of symbolism (which I discuss in a recent journal entry) but also conveys the dissociation prevalent in what they are categorizing as tardive dsyphrenia and in myself is being treated with the anti-convulsant Vimpat (I am literally the first person to respond in this regard, outside of that its used in the animal model, it will probably be part of a case study). Through self understanding I can help them understand this rare neurological disability and as well it helps me experience a return in cognition that I lost from what they are categorizing as tardive dysmentia and also is good creative work. When the NMDA receptor modulate antipsychotics are approved it is within strong potential that all of these neurological disabilities will be a thing of the past.

I really like this one ..I have seen some strange skies recently in California and many vapor trails that turn out to be man made ..the ash from Volcano's recently  has made the moon and the sky appear in  different colors  even to the human eye.There was a lunar eclipse last night, we didn't see it in the US but other countries did they said the moon had a brown /gold glow . I like the wolves in your picture .

Thanks. Yes I was into astronomy and I remember once there was a solar eclipse and the sky went dark for a while during the day. I like being out in the country where you can have a clear sky and see shooting stars at certain times of year and the milky way and other stars you normally can't. I do remember where I live right now being (this was about a decade ago when it passed by) being able to see a comet with a telescope some family members had brought (when they lived here) and at least one person we didn't know who was walking by asked if they could watch it as well so of course we let them.

Have you ever taught this to other folks with similar struggles, I would think it would be great for many to make collages and paint, you are so clever and talented ....
