Inktense pencils.   made this not long after i got them…date at bottom,  2015.  Maybe its time.  

nuance of  sunflower

having no direction.

Am going to let it go      until this rain season passes.   until available light is available.   till there are seeds to plant.   These things are         sure.       I can ground my heart in them,  ask them to keep me in a land of hope.   Then find a way to create what hope might look like.

Can Happen    

even when times are difficult.   Necessary things, useful things        CAN     continue to happen.   Doulas even.  Imagine that!

i have looked for more but have been limited in my search time battery wise.   If anyone is able to find more,  and leave Us a link?  Maybe even we might find a way to obtain additional copies of the book?
