XIII: A Reflection viii—Crater Lake National Park: Wizard Island This original miniature gouache painting of Wizard Island captures a classic overlook of Crater Lake National Park. It is part of 'The Journey,' an ongoing collection of poetry and 600 mini landscapes in National Park locations created while traveling full-time in my vintage 1976 Avion Travelcader. A Reflection Under the shadow of an ancient rage formed in fire and frost I floated. In water the color of sapphire, so deep it could swallow the heaviest thought, flashes of rainbow glitter, coral shimmer, slid through the sky's mirror And when my lungs slowed, I thought- So this is how it feels to be alive So this is how it feels to be known -Laura Van Moorleghem view the rest of the Crater Lake subcollection or The Journey
