…
I bled lots of black today, white paper filling with curves and flow.
Determination and desire filled the space and pressed the edges. I cut around the flower and relished the one petal that pushed past the contained. I love for my drawings to go outside the edges, to speak of the endlessness that is. I am brave and daring in my drawings, I believe it is making me braver in real life.
I see my wild out of the corner of my eye.
I am so uncomfortable taking pictures of myself. In an effort to taste my wildness, I am starting to capture myself, revealing moments and desires, vulnerabilities and perfect imperfections. I feel so stiff and uncertain, but I do love that it is pushing me past the edges of the paper. I am breaking open the container.
…
you are beautiful!
love and light
you return, return you speak and speak to me directly. … I always appreciate your love.
My mouth drops at your holy beauty….
You are a Warrioress, and even your bones are gleaming.
that my bones, my depths can be seen in a picture, capturing more than flesh and flair i gain hope, i can make it through this wilderness. … “Warrioress” — I feel myself grounding and rising. xo
You get more beautiful each year. I’m glad you begin to see it.
Oh, sister-friend. I know you’ve seen me for sometime, much longer than I’ve seen myself. Your words are a gift, thank you. … I am gaining hope. xo
I have come to your beautiful site several times at Emily’s (imperfectprose) prompting. THere are very few words I can make use of that describe how my inner self connects with and enjoys and breathes your writing and artwork.
In our artclass in University, our teacher encouraged us time & time again to color outside the lines and to let our pictures run into the unknown and off the edge of the paper. What a war occured within me as I found myself fighting against the previous ‘rules’ i had known before.
oh, those damn rules.
good for your teacher for advocating life beyond the edge and color outside the lines
and wonderful for you to listen and struggle to do so in your own life.
blessings and thanks so much for saying hello.
