It’s never too late to wake yourself up

9 Mar
to tell the truth

Truth is better than coffee.

 

Wake up

Say something so true that it makes you blush.

Listen to something so real that makes you squirm.

Do something so you it makes you laugh at yourself.

This is where I draw the line.

You are now free to move beyond the cabin.

Carry on.

It’s not baggage if it doesn’t weigh you down.

Sometimes you see better when you stop looking.

Letting go for life

20 May

The atermath of subtraction

Lately I’ve given myself the gift of letting go. I’ve let go of clutter, unwelcome habits, and even slightly welcome pastimes. Life isn’t short but it’s most enjoyable when lived like it is. Here’s my love letter to life in words made of pictures.

It all starts with a feeling

Superpowers

19 May

drawing arrows



If you could have one super power what would it be? I’ve always wanted to get my hands on cupids arrows.

This lead me to imagining what modern day cupid would look like. I believe that her exposure to everything those arrows cause would cause her to outgrow that cherubic phase real quick. And yes, I believe that cupid would be a “she.”

Here’s my cupid. She’s powerful, wary, and fearless.

The last arrow

The last arrow

Inspired by the last arrow

I’m so tired of playing,
Playing with this bow and arrow,
Gonna give my heart away,
Leave it to the other girls to play,
For I’ve been a temptress too long.

– Lyrics from “Glory Box” by Portishead

Freedom

There is freedom in the moment

I’m learning to commit to the moment. I’m learning to find infinity through trust and truth. It takes courage to draw lines in your life–to love fully without fear of making a mistake.

So I take a deep breath and dip my brush into the darkest pigment I can find. I exhale as I let the canvas and ink meet. My only role is to guide the lines and accept the outcome.

There are no bets to hedge. There is no ctrl+z to push. There is no going backwards. There is only the chance that something lovely will occur or disaster might strike, leaving a mess that cannot be undone.

This is life. This is art. This is love.
