“Compassion hurts.” – A Self-Portrait

I stand in awe, wonderment, and amazement at this post which has so many different aspects that one may focus on and appreciate — everything from the visual beauty of the artwork, to the craftiness of creating it, to the intentional use or lack of detail, to the quote that is attached to it, and last and the very most of all: the narrative that explains your thought process and perspectives of the various media and reflections on the connections drawn between the art and the quote.

I am so very deeply moved by your sensitivity and your ability to share so openly and intentionally. Thank you for making me think and feel. It is indeed a challenge to balance the two: to love the beauty of life whilst being able to deal with its horrors as well. May it be that we consciously do both and are thereby rendered the better for it.

God bless you! I love you.
