On My Nightstand, on My Easel (13)

On my nightstand

Become willing to press 
against the bruise—
it's there anyway—
and see what it yields.

On my easel

oooooh no - "pressing against the bruises" - just the place I've been avoiding. Your "regress" pic is a good reminder of why we should do just that.

Can you believe I've dragged y'all through every inhale and exhale and now I'm blowing the whole shebang somewhere else? You know the drill. It had to be done. How do I know? Because that's what I did. Grateful for your support!

Blow the storm in! No veil the whole cloud! You did what you thought you had to do!Nothing surprises me anymore! Keep them coming.

Woo hoo! Nothing beats being welcomed by open arms, Carol! Thank you! I was just reflecting on my first days of painting (6 years ago over Memorial Day weekend)—fun to see now what I had NO vision for then; I had NO IDEA of what could/would follow.

courage/desperation: hard to know the difference but thank you for affirming what i've done, even with both of us gasping!
