Sometimes it is a struggle for the light.
Life is beautiful, and so ugly, at the same time. How it can be so cruel and unusual is never for us to understand. And only hope for understanding, in time, will help coping with truths of time. I want the peace that passes understanding. Today I am thankful for the lives in my family, friends and those who have passed away.
The theme of "reaching" has been occupying my mind for most of today. I've been reaching to communicate, reaching out to some who are hurting, and reaching inward for calm. It is so easy to advise a hurting person, but when it comes to me, I have difficulty finding that which will calm me. This writing has been helping and that I will continue. Spending time with friends and family is high on the docket, as well as more prayer.
Tomorrow, I will be visiting Restord to do some sorting (reaching out to help others helps, too!) and then I'll head home to play with the cement hearts which I made just yesterday. This blog is for the art I make on paper, but it has become clear to me I need to show what I have done in other projects as well. Perhaps I'll start some tutorials. Anyone interested?
Peace and Love to you, and those around you! Have a great week.

Love your page, like fingers reaching out. Blessings to you visiting via AED
Oh Pauline! The chocolate does wonders :) Thank you for visiting. I tried commenting via my phone, but it was capitalizing each word....no idea what that is about. Anyway, I hope to see you again soon!
Thank you, Sharon! I drew the black pen sketch first and started filling in with the colored pencil only to realize exactly what you see. Thank you for visiting and have a wonderful day!
