The Writing Place

A real writer told me once that you have to go to the painful places and stay there.
Then when you think you can't stand another minute- you write.
You write about THAT place. You write about THOSE feelings.

I stare into my eyes - all blemishes and flaws melt away.
What remains is foreign. I don't recognize her.
There is only Potential staring back - timid and scared.



This is called Ramona by Cassandra Christensen-Barney, one of my favorite artists. I went to a lecture of hers. She inspired me.
