Joy is the fruit of well lived grief.

I heard this today and I wanted to sit with it longer. Because it feels so true.
I didn’t realize when creating this how her body posture repeats the shape in the house. Visual rhyme.
And I think visual images are powerful in their ablity to convey a depth of expereince and feeling that are hard to reach with words alone.

I will keep hoping,
because what is the alternative?

October stroll, part 2

Driving to her last cross country meet yesterday. The pickup in front of me at a stop light had the most delightfully unexpected bumper stickers:

“you had the power all along, my dear”
“wake the fuck up”

Catching a feeling as it rolls through me.
A picture of a little girl in red stripe pajamas caught me unexpectedly, bringing me right back to when my girls were that little. I don’t want to hold on too tight, but wouldn’t it be lovely to just be able to visit there again? While we can’t fully revisit, we do live with these emotional traces.

“we are feeling beings who think, not thinking beings who feel.”
Heard that loudly while working on this today.
