Chronic illness feels like an artificial breakwater. There's so much energy just beyond it, but it's blocked with a bunch of perfectly interlocking rocks that nature never intended. You can see it and yearn for it but where you are is just flat. It's nice for a little visit, but not to live there.
A photo of the ocean taken from a high vantage point. There is small dot of land with a light house on it. In the foreground is an artificial breakwater made of artificial interlocking concrete shapes.

I feel like I am made up of an endless series of excuses and whatever they are supporting is about to tumble into the abyss

Slightly different early morning view, ft. tiny moon
A picture of what is mostly a night sky with sillouetted tree tops and a crescent moon. Among the tree tops is a streak of peachy-orange light heralding sunrise.

Cradled
An almost full moon in a gentle blue sky. Leafless tree branches are in the foreground, situated such that the tree appears to be cradling the moon between two of its branches.

Had an absolute meltdown of a day. But colors are still pretty, so I've got that going for me.
Three flat circular wooden ornaments painted with paint pour swirls in purple, silver, and turquoise.

As above, so below
A photo of a wall that is a series of white arches and pillars ornamented in gold. It is reflected in great detail in a still reflecting pool at the foot of the wall.

Small hammock friend
A small beige bird with brown stripes - a sparrow - is perched on the edge of a faded blue rope hammock. In the background is a string of prayer flags so tattered that it is basically just threads.

Sometimes I struggle cause I think I might totally lack empathy, but then I remember my processing and understanding is just not main stream and I can appreciate moments without showing it in the same way others do.
This sunrise picture has nothing to do with that but it is pretty.
A photo of a dense, mostly sillouetted tree line. The sky is a deep blue-purple with two streaks of pink clouds.

It is not yet 10am and I already hate today.
Here is an art that I also hate.
A dot mandala done in teal, purple, and green a square white canvas. The colors and the negative space are weird.

Sometimes my dog waits for an invitation to come in even when the door is wide open, and it's only just now occurred to me that maybe he is part vampire.
A photo of a wide open door. On the other side of the door a black lab-pit mix dog stands outside, waiting and staring.

I like the swirl of it
A painting of a seahorse on a rectangular black canvas. The water is done in swirls of blues created using dots of paint and the seahorse shape is left in negative space. A painting of a whale shark on a rectangular canvas. The shark is royal blue with silver patterns created using dots of paint. The background is a swirly paint pour of blue, teals and silver.
