Sitting

New Start

Beginning things is very difficult and I feel sometimes like shrinking from the task. A constant exercise in letting go and seeing what occurs. Trust how I lack trust.

This is never more the case than with doing some art work. I don't seem to get round to doing more of it and yet when I do it speaks to me. Sometimes with grace and surprise and sometimes with a curse.

Hiding and Healing

Both pictures below were done by me some time ago but I now look back on them and understand what they mean.
Top left is titled 'Hiding' a place of foetal safety surrounded by female forms, threatening overbearing and protective. Words do not need to be said about what this might conjure up in the minds of others about my his-story, emtionally and psychologically.
The other picture is titled 'Healing'. A surrender to acceptance rather than a reflex against pain.
