Artist C's Journey

Trapped

why is he taken away from me

I have done more than my part to give hospitality and freedom

When all I did was be supportive, why is what he did my fault
Why do I get punished

If I bring it up I pay I lose him completely

I don't want to do this again

lose comfort and solace and love and soothing and play and fun

why did you change the equation

this hurts.

Not this time but then

Clarity
This mandala was created immediately after "Trapped." After creating art and communing with it to access spontaneous thoughts and feelings, this client felt enlightened. The title says it all.

Retinal
What is taken in straight is twisted
What is truth is maladjusted
out of focus   aberrant  not coming together
the reflection is false
the distortion is self-sacrifice
the consequences are drowning
or being buried
Outside they say take the flowers
control and anger
and use them to your benefit
but I am buried under
the flowers from the top
I don't need flowers
but soil and dirt and clean
dirty things
to grow in

Snowball
Hide the good
Hide the bad
don't let the enemies know your strengths
it's better but it feels the same
how can it be both
white covers and comforts
like a snowstorm
where everything stops for awhile
and nestles safely
frustratedly
I had plans but the snow is there
forcing me to slow down
shelter and avoid
don't look here
don't watch me
don't notice me
while I get stronger
to acknowledge it might
make it go away
let's ignore it
stop investing in it
stop depending on it
just let it
be
and don't interpret it.
don't use it this time
to prove your point.
