After a long and unexpected hiatus, I am proud to say that constantly evolving is back and here to stay. The past six months have been a whirlwind of a journey with various twists and turns that have made it hard for me to focus and get things done. But I'm slowly starting to realize that I need art and I need writing. They are both a part of me in a way - if I don't have them in my life, I don't feel complete.
So, to make the transition back to constantly evolving complete, I'm going to not only share some mixed media pieces with you (see above), but also a poem I wrote back in the summer of 2007. Enjoy.
TALES OF THE HEART
I found my heart once
Trampled on by flood and drought,
Hazily being caught by the wind
All the while, trying to find some peace within.
It killed me to watch it suffering that way
But the red robin told me that I would savor the pain
Once I realized the beauty that could come from it -
I never knew real love until I could stand back and truly exist.
Now and then I find it beating not so hard;
Perhaps it’s worn out from the pain life can bring
Or maybe it’s waiting for a rebirth in spring
But it still knows there’s hope around every
corner, creek, and bend
And that every now and then
Life will begin again.
