evolution

I'm at a time in my life

where letting go seems to be the theme.

So I painted how it looks in my head

and how confusing it feels in my heart.

This is my vision of separation

my sight of distortion.

Some lines are clean and clear

but the change

the elements that are fading

and dissolving

remain fuzzy

during the transformation that is taking place.

 

I've realized that the pain of letting go

isn't attached to a person

or a relationship.

the hurt is born from the visions, hopes and expectations we hold on to

What is difficult to let go of

is what we create
what we have "seen" in our future
and what we have hoped for

not what we "have"

or have "had."

 

So as I navigate through a fuzzy life

I hold on to the sharp corners and curves

as they represent the parts of my life or myself
that won't change or go away

and I will wait for the fuzzy

to morph into new dreams

new experiences

and new relationships.

 

an ever changing life

an ever changing reality

an ever changing dream

my evolution

Flutter

i've dreamed of you
pictured your face
imagined holding you
loving you
and less than a week ago you slipped through my finger tips
before i even knew you were there.

i wasn't planning for you
i wasn't prepared
and i was afraid
so i don't blame you for leaving.

although it's probably for the best
please know this:
i cry.
i uncontrollably cry.
i will continue to dream of you
i will continue to love you
and i pray that maybe
someday
oneday
we might have the chance to meet.

love,
your mom

CIRCUS

 

In a busy mind
With spinning thoughts
And constant change
My world can feel like a circus
Chaos and confusion find me occasionally
The colors of my world vary
Change
Intensify
And dim


The ebb and flow of friendships
Love and loss
Happiness and sadness
Keep me on my toes
Flipping and twirling around each and every obstacle
Walking tight ropes
And building my strength for the acrobatics I perform.


The intensity
The excitement
The movement
The drama
And the fear
All make me feel crazy sometimes
But free at all times
To do and be
Whoever I need to be
To cope
To deal
And to eventually laugh
And enjoy
My circus, My life.

Water

Dreaming

Enchantment

Intuition

Deep emotions

Nurture

Protection

This is my most favorite tree.

I hope you enjoy my willow as much as i do. <3

Passion

Passion

By definition:

• a strong feeling or emotion
• heat: the trait of being intensely emotional
• rage: something that is desired intensely
• mania: an irrational but irresistible motive for a belief or action
• a feeling of strong sexual desire
• love: any object of warm affection or devotion

I sat down to draw this with anger in my heart.

In my attempt to capture anger

on paper

in color

"passion" happened.

In more ways than one.

It became clear that the difference between

passion and anger,

anger and hate,

hate and love,

love and passion

is so little

that all i experience

and all i feel

can be boiled down to one TRUE emotion

ONE word.

PASSION.

My attempt to put an image to anger

turned into a loving

and calming experience

of embracing life

and choosing to live with passion.

Forever.

No matter what.

It's hard sometimes

to experience things that make us grow
and learn.

It's easy
to get so focused on the experience alone
that we lose sight of the larger picture,
the picture that shows us that we are so much more.
We are more than one experience
one moment
or one relationship.
We exist
as something that's woven together by everything we go through.
All of our experiences
all of our moments
all of our heartbreaks and triumphs
all of our relationships
they all come together to create who we are
and create the life we live.

I love knowing that you were a part of my "weave"
to remove the threads of you
would change me
and my life
and for as much as it hurts sometimes that i can still see you
my life,
my existance,
and my future experiences

will only be more beautiful
because of the colors and texture you have added to me.

Mosaic

Mosaic

Life is like mosaic art.
It’s rarely about the pieces you are working with
But more how you use what you’ve got
To make it work.

The beautiful thing about mosaic art
Is that it’s not just about any ONE

Simple
Little
And broken piece that is used
It's about the big picture.
The beauty is found when all things come together
To create who we are
And to create our life.

Healing Light

Healing Light

I feel it
Inside of me,
It burns with passion,
love,
life,
faith.

I rely on my “light”
To guide me in moments of darkness
To lead me
And to show me
That when all direction is lost
And I am unsure of my way
It will always reveal to me what I need to know
Little by little
To put my next foot forward.

When my feet stop
And I stand still
My “light” still shines
And I feel it stretch
Upward and out
To show me that where I am
Is beautiful
And perfect
And is right where I need to be.

Magic

Magic

A quote/letter that speaks my words for me…

"Sometimes I feel like there's a hole inside of me, an emptiness that at times seems to burn. I think if you lifted my heart to your ear, you could probably hear the ocean. The moon tonight, there's a circle around it. Sign of trouble not far behind. I have this dream of being whole. Of not going to sleep each night, wanting. But still sometimes, when the wind is warm or the crickets sing... I dream of a love that even time will lie down and be still for. I just want someone to love me. I want to be seen. I don't know. Maybe I had my happiness. I don't want to believe it but, there is no man. Only that moon. "
