It brings me peace to see Maria holed up in her corner with her tea and laptop blogging at the end of every day. Maria is a writer and an artist; she took to it from the beginning and has put her stamp on her writing and work.

This science makes me happy to be alive and in my life and share it with her. I especially love her photos, videos, and notes from the woods. I’m quiet in the house when she blogs; it is a silent, almost meditative time.
