One moment at a time

Hoodie Girl #2

Hoodie Girl #2

Here she is, the product of my last few weeks’ brushstrokes – she came out of a friend’s desire for her, cups of coffee with semi-strange men late at night, sleepless midnights and the unstoppable desire to create. She was meant for another, but I love her so much I don’t think I can let her go.

She’s my new Hoodie Girl, and I’m running out of wall…

For now, she’s a stand alone, I’ll not write more until inspired to. For now, she’s just here, looking at the ground, unassumingly existing.

Deep gratitude

My heart is green with gratitude instead of envy for so many reasons. We don’t live in Darfur, we live in Sydney. We can breathe today. Things are growing in the garden.  We have choices. We are healthy, sheltered and fed.

Just to be alive would be enough.
