Do you ever write your stories to an image? Well, perhaps my question should be, “Do you ever use a photograph to inspire your stories?”

A friend shared this photo called October Moon. I know I’m going to write a story about the image. I started one! Two — you know me, yes, there will be three.

The photographer is one of my favorite herbalists. He works in San Francisco and lives in the woods nearby. A lot of people live in woodland places, but Joshua is of the woods.

There, he nurtures all the earth provides. He gathers respectfully from her gifts.

And shares the beauty.

Our earth our people our moon our world.

Under the October moon, a man drinks the beauty of the night and shares freely. Thank you, Joshua Muscut.

How about writing a story inspired by a photo? It’ll be fun.
