I don’t normally do politics (at least the way some do, I’m not apolitical for the record) but when I do, it’s to remind folks about where I stand. Am I perfect? No, but I try to punch up where possible as any decent person would. Simple as!
Suddenly the light goes out and staying in the dark is a test of resistance, but when everything seems lost, it turns on again, so simply: sometimes a single attempt isn't enough, there are many moments to spend without light, but you don't have to be afraid of it, because sooner or later we will succeed in the undertaking and it will make you smile as the thing that seemed so difficult came spontaneously, it was enough not to force the process.
I hate the darkness because it shows me a version of myself that I would never want to meet, yet if I accept that the punches of life in some periods are stronger than others, sometimes leaving bruises and burns, but that life itself has granted me caresses like this sweets that I would not have appreciated without going through pain, then everything around me will seem golden. I can only appreciate the hatred and wonder of it.
I can feel those caresses, I can savor them with the same intensity with which I feel the pain of the punches, because ultimately they give so much: the strength to take another step, to not give up right now, right now that I am so close to feeling them in my heart those precious caresses.
One Samhuinn Fire Festival, plus a smorgasbord of collages and narwhals later… and we’re almost concluded another volume of work :-D
Getting some inspiration from the latest installation by Tai Shani over at Jupiter Artland!
