Help with naming a painting


The art exhibit is getting closer and I'm just about done with my 5th painting for the art exhibit "Elements", Water, fire, air, earth, and spirit.
For the life of me I can not think of a title for this painting.
Earth,
So here it is, if s...omeone can come up with a title I like, I will name this painting with your title, give you credit and send you a 11" x 14" print for helping me.
My Title was,
"Earths Treasures"......not so exciting.
Be Inspired,

a waning moon

Blue Moon,
 
Lately, or maybe just because it's summer, I feel as though I am waning. Waning with the last of the supermoon. Moving away from the hustle and business I live my life in. I'm pulling back on many activities, but for some reason I'm still busy. I'm sure it's just a cycle, the ebb and flow of energy. Swimming has left me both feeling stronger and exhausted at the same time. In the afternoon I find myself closing the drapes and watching movies.......until it's time to play backgammon.......resting is what I want to do. I imagine this is normal for creative people. Just a little time out. Staying open to the ideas that come at a time of waning.
Anyone else feeling this way?

In my studies of Greek Mythology I came across this story of Narcissus. I felt it was the perfect subject for a water painting. Although, I have made Narcissus and woman, I feel that this emotional state can just as easily be a woman's issue.
Narcissus -- in Greek mythology, the son of the river god Cephissus and the nymph Leiriope; he was distinguished for his beauty. His mother was told that he would have a long life, provided he never looked upon his own features. His rejection, however, of the love of the nymph Echo or of his lover AmeiniasThe story may have derived from the ancient Greek superstition that it was unlucky or even fatal to see one's own reflection. In psychiatry and especially psychoanalysis, the term narcissism denotes an excessive degree of self-esteem or self-involvement, a condition that is usually a form of emotional immaturity.
