At long last I relieve you with my promise to post this image. While it is different than the background to my Twitter profile, it still is essentially the same graphics, just with different colors.
A day after I made this image, I went to a cafe to do some writing. While I was writing, several people started gathering around an area in the outside section of the cafe and looking up at something. I could see them through the large windows, but I couldn’t see what they were looking at.
My curiosity got the best of me, and I said “I’ve got to see what everyone’s looking at” while getting up and going outside to see what was so eventful. A woman I walked up next to said to me that “it’s a big moth–about five inches big” as she pointed up towards the ceiling in the moth’s direction.
I didn’t realize that I had just made an image with some moths in it the night before, but after observing the strange all-black moth and sitting back down at my seat, I recalled what I had created. I felt those exciting subtle pangs of recognizing this synchronistic event as I made the association.
Upon a little more association, I connect the meaning of moths to the moon, and how the moon associates with lunacy. Moths wildly flying around sources of light in the night behave like lunatics as humans might define it. And there have been some studies that reinforce superstitions with respect to full moons and rises in strange behaviors in people.
