If

If you express what is inside you, what is inside you will save you. If you don't express what is inside you, what is inside you can kill you. ~Gospel of Saint Thomas ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm sharing with you something I did several years ago, when my life seemed in a state of upheaval, of changes. Some unpleasant, some very painful. I didn't know it then, but I was doodling my state of feeling broken and fragmented. It was the beginning of mending, healing, and working through a lot of pain. Art is healing.
That page is now part of" The Smash Book overhaul." And this
........... is what I was on my art table a year ago today.

    1. Thank you for your comment. I think too often we don't feel like we're supposed to show this "stuff." I think it makes people uncomfortable sometimes. They don't know what to say. And too often, people want to see the happy, pretty, colorful, everything is find and dandy stuff. I see it differently.
