My son described this drawing as disgusting and gross. Started not to show it to him because I knew he wouldn't get it and not like it much. I was right. I did this a few weeks ago. It was an illustration of my heart I suppose and frankly I don't remember what was eating away at me during that time. Stress, sadness, disappointment, whatever. I was thinking of a heart shape but sort of like the real heart at the same time.........it is suspended by a string faintly and I considered holding the string with fingers or a bow. Obviously, never did that. So it hangs by a thread. It is what it is, cracked, bleeding, melting, worn, whatever. I remembered of this drawing when thinking of Mim this morning as she mourns the loss of her father. I will try to draw something a bit more appealing later. My thoughts and prayers are with you Mim.
Our thoughts go out to Mim at this time of loss.
ReplyDeleteMy city grieves for so many this week, so many lives taken suddenly by Nature's fury, so many children too.
Mim, we are with you, beside you, supporting you.
I think this is representative of all our hearts at one time or another; cracked, worn, broken, hanging by an invisible thread. Life gives you a beating, but you have to keep on ticking.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts are with Mim, also.
I agree with katie Jane. We all are thinking of Mim right now.
ReplyDeleteYou have expressed your broken heart both verbally and written. We all feel so bad for Mim and I think that's why we can relate to your heart so well.
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteIt has been ages - i just concentrate with nothing but my work. I didn't have time to update my blog and visit friends.
Thanks so much for your a 100th post with the picture of my sketch. What a lovely person you are....
Unlike you, as I am strange anyway :-), while I feel sad or depress the picture that I created would be colorful...
Anyway, thank you...
my heartfelt condolences for mim her family...i can feel real pain and tear of your heart in this picture..
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear of Mim's loss. a touching image, especially with your explanation--wonderful!
ReplyDeletemy heart goes out to mim in this time of sadness. your illustration rings so true to me and of all those times that we all feel like our heart is just hanging on a thin piece of string. it also makes me think of that line "i'd rather to have loved and lost than not to have loved at all". i tell my son that sometimes when he speaks of being afraid of being hurt again.
ReplyDeletenice post! thanks for sharing your heart!
isn't it wonderful to have such a great avenue to express yourself?
ReplyDeletewow- so graphic- so honest- so like a heart sometimes...that you could express yourself in this way is fortunate- especially when weeks later, you can hopefully find yourslef in a better state of mind.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't known about Mim, until I saw your post, so I went to see what had happened. I could relate to her experience so well, that I wrote a rambling book to her. How lucky that she could have her parents for so many years though losing them is hard-always.
Yeah, I suspect we've all "drawn" this same picture at one time or another. Some of us literally, others symbolically.
ReplyDeleteA very apt post for this time. I hope you are feeling better now. Poor Mim will be sad for some time.
