The Weight of Words

the weight of words

some things in life can not be fixed

...they can only be carried

this piece began with a picture of my front

porch taken with the slow cam app on my

iphone. i added the figure and background 

writing with procreate..texture in distressed fx

 then finished by adding letters across her back

 in path on. 

if you could smell this picture.... 

it would smell of 

sadness

The Wrong Side of Mercy

 

sometimes

the only way i

can make 

peace

with something 

is to

run

from it

i find

the more 

i run from

things

the more they

chase

me

today finds me
on the wrong
side of
mercy

Walking in Sadness

i spent some time yesterday evening

walking this medicine wheel

thinking about my life

talking with God

i struggle with how to "be"

in this world

i just...

struggle

 

can you feel

the 

sadness?

 

Even The Trees Cried

there is a story
of great sadness

lives deep
in my bones

that can't be read
 in the sun

under a blanket
 of grey

a crow sang it
 out loud
even the trees
cried
