    I don't know you very well, so forgive the presumption, but I am prickly-eyed for you. I know just how it feels to break through a period which feels stagnant and airless. What a magnificent breakthrough this is. Congratulations honey.

    You were literally brooding. I wonder if birds "brood" while they're brooding.

    I've seen you do this before–enter a dark phase and then exit it in a burst of next-level creativity.

    Creation can be hard yakka, but oh, what marvels result!

    Thank you, everyone, for these really wonderful comments. You know, I've also got to say, thanks for taking the lightness and the darkness of me, so easily. It makes me feel safe. And….well….I'm made speechless by your support. Thank you. With my all of my heart and soul.

  21. I appreciate you as an artist who isn't afraid to create. The biggest steps are always both: the most difficult, and the most rewarding.

  22. Stunning. Absolutely stunning. I can't believe what two weeks of brooding can produce. I'm glad you're back in your light phase!

  23. The Noisy Plume: says

    Well. I'm also glad to be where I am! Though the brooding has turned into a mildly mannered sulk….
