Yesterday I spent 8 solid hours working in my art studio. Time flew by. It’s a start (and some might say a long overdue one). I pulled this card today from the deck by Mark Nepo. The grieving process is fluid and I can sometimes string an entire week of days together without feeling any sorrow at all. As the days rinse our heart…how that line resonates! I am in the midst of that ocean that the card describes. My art studio is a lifeline to the raft. If there is a tiger in the raft when I get inside it, I now know I will be able to deal with it.
