Blue Soul, Bleeding Heart

I will make this pain as beautiful as the love that proceeded it…

The inspiration for this piece hit quite suddenly. My impression was that I had been stabbed in the heart with my blood and life pouring out.

Love reveals grief, grief reveals love.

All of it is beautiful.

There is strength in vulnerability.

Love can cut you open.

Let your light shine forth,

Let your life flow.

All of it is beautiful.

I will make this pain as beautiful as the love that proceeded it.

I was gripped with grief yesterday afternoon and immediately set out to create this, and continued, possessed, for hours until it was done. Blue soul, bleeding heart, the knife of grief cuts you open. Sometimes that’s what you need in order to let your own light shine. 2.13.21
