Whispers In the Grave
I’m a seed fighting this dirt that wants to keep me down
I keep pushing
Doesn’t look like I’ve gotten far
I’m a bud and petals are forming
And now my seeds are waiting to be found

My dear Glori– super-excellent-sister-of-my-soul:
(1) You are talented. Thank you for bringing your skill here. (2) No dirt could ever keep someone as fierce as you down. I’m glad you always push up. (3) I love you.
❤ Thanks for sharing with us. (Thud.)

Oh Rara, thank you for your loving nudges (wink) and sparkling crusades. I’m indebted to your kindness.
I heart you like what!

Just as beautiful as you are Gloria. I’ve been reading a lot of Maya Angelou of late. Right now I just keep 2 small phrases in my head to keep going. ‘I love you’ and ‘I rise, I rise, I rise’.
They say the Earth laughs in flowers. I think we make up a nice army of phantasmagorical seeds. 🙂
Much love from Holland ❤

Such gorgeous and evocative drawings. We all just keep fighting, inch by inch, to reach the fresh air and turn our faces to the sun. ❤

Long overdue, missy! (Kidding) I love you & I’m glad you decided to share your beauty with us here. ❤
You better come back! Lots & lots & lots.
P.S. That last one is a stunner. You have a gift for capturing emotions and transferring them into the pieces. All of these have clear emotions in their eyes. Gorgeous, as always!

You’re not kidding lol. But that’s cool. You’re right; it’s long overdue. So you want me to be like Terminator “I’ll be back” or what? 😅
Thank you love. Guess the muse takes over when I draw because I don’t plan it. The images come to me and get all up in my business until I put them on paper.

Ha! You have a pushy muse! That’s awesome.
Mine is a total hippie but she gets pushy sometimes.
& Yeah, I kid. I knew you’d come around in time. 😛 If not, Rara and I would have to drag you here kicking & screaming.
Your inner something has a place here, love. Just look at how many people got instantly happy upon viewing your greatness. 😀

Those are brilliant. I also think the middle one would make an amazing tattoo.
