hope springs...


after not being able to sleep last night... i went into my studio to find some comfort... i created two things... the first one was much too dark to post... i forced myself to do something a little more positive... so here he is - the first of many little elephants in my newest series.
why can't i post the dark stuff and why is it so hard to ask for support when i need it?
these and many more questions to search for the answers to.......

well, if you feel like sharing the darker image privately, my box is always open. In the mean time, love you little wise one here.
blessings, Karin

This is lovely...its message shining through with or without the caption... though I can't help wondering about its dark counterpart....I tend to feel a release when I post something at all dark, but also a lot of trepidation...will it bring people empethetically closer, or push them further away? Showing your dark stuff or asking for support show weakness and, if you're like me, you've probably got reasons not to show weakness...then, walking around in a heavy suit of armor isn't great either. Hmmm...I'm just rambling on. Sorry--it's a topic close to my heart and it doesn't take much. Namaste.

thanks dr. jay. your comment reminds me to find balance between the two - armor and openness... privacy and absolute self-expression... it's my path and part of my practice to seek harmony with it all:)
