why not paint a selfie

covered in paint and tears

 

she survives another trip to the ER with her mother.

Thank God, she is fine.

throw paint not life!

Day 221 No sleep for the weary....

Hour of the soul again....

Prayerless, I cry out to God.

Does He fill in the blanks?

My groans are heard.

He answers but I can't understand His words.

It's as if He speaks a foreign tongue.

Can my spirit interpret?

I muffle my cries.

I hide my pain.

I deny my doubt.

He knows my thoughts.

He feels my doubt.

He forgives my uncertainty.

Patience is key.

Have I used my quota?

The well is dry.

My feet are lead.

My stomach is sick.

I'm stuck and immovable.

He is stronger.

He pulls me out just before I go under.

I gasp for air.

He quickly fills my lungs with His breath.

I know I will survive.

Final Lessons-Visioning

Here are my final journal pages for the True North Arts Visioning Journal Workshop!

Here's a link to the workshop if you care to try it! http://collagediva.typepad.com/vision/

These last two images are all about acrylic paint, collage materials (found and created), words and the passion to find balance in my life. My word focus and attitude for 2009.

I admit to being addicted to art and creating. It's the one place I feel free, peaceful, and truly M E ! My passion is ART and it affords me balance in every aspect of my life. I realized recently, after depending on my journaling to get me through Dad's stroke recovery, art and words are my desired drug of choice. Without them I'd be completely insane!

Creative voice-speak up!

Your creative voice is like your fingerprint--

Unique to you alone.

If you never express it, how will your message be heard?

Each soul has a distinct narrative; to deny it

Is to kill a part of you spirit.

So speak out loudly and strong....

write

dance

paint

bake..............

Make your own artistic voice heard.

image is digital play with shadow

Create from your heart!
