Behind a day. Yesterday we had a party for my graduation, and I got baptized too :) I forgot about my drawing until late in the evening XD 

John 6:29

Jesus answered, "The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent."

Drawing Challenge Day 54

I feel

As never before I have

To heal

I tore my brittle wall in half

So be

My pain, my weak, my small,

Tears, scars, and blood-

It's worth them all. 

Drawing Challenge Day 53--- Plus beach trip

Two days behind on posting drawings XP 

I DID do this drawing back on Wednesday, I promise. I was at the beach all day with friends and got home late. This is a sketch of our campfire, in case you couldn't tell. I was having a terrible time drawing with chilled hands from playing in the waves. 

Lovely beach. Bit of a hike down stairs to get there. 

I chased all the seagulls around B-)

Dead seagulls always strike me as extremely funny for some reason. 

David found crabs. 

It was overcast when we arrived around noon, but cleared up and warmed up later on. 

Tan enjoying some melodramatic meditation out on a rock in the waves. (I waded out and hopped all over his rock island to make sure he didn't feel too special XD B-). Chris off to the right, deciding something.

Chris and I supervising Tan's fire starting efforts. I'm behind the camera, but I'm making the same face as Chris here. 

 

Brenna and Tan hiding from the smoke with varying levels of success. 

Poem

Blossoming budding devotion

Enveloping desire to advance

Enraptured hearts thumping as they move

Leaping and stumbling to romance

Pleasant food forward understanding

Only sweet honey on tongue

But honey alone will soon sicken

And realization or bile will come. 

Drawing Challenge Day 52

Today, I did not feel like drawing. 

Drawing Challenge Day 51--- Plus River

Becca and Autumn discovered new places on the river with deep swimming holes. It was baaarely warm enough today, but we tried them. Brr. 

I found three rocks shaped together like a reclining chair B-) Chuzzy.

"Alone" poem by Edgar Allan Poe

“Alone”

BY EDGAR ALLAN POE

From childhood’s hour I have not been 

As others were—I have not seen 

As others saw—I could not bring 

My passions from a common spring— 

From the same source I have not taken 

My sorrow—I could not awaken 

My heart to joy at the same tone— 

And all I lov’d—I lov’d alone— 

Then—in my childhood—in the dawn 

Of a most stormy life—was drawn 

From ev’ry depth of good and ill 

The mystery which binds me still— 

From the torrent, or the fountain— 

From the red cliff of the mountain— 

From the sun that ’round me roll’d 

In its autumn tint of gold— 

From the lightning in the sky 

As it pass’d me flying by— 

From the thunder, and the storm— 

And the cloud that took the form 

(When the rest of Heaven was blue) 

Of a demon in my view—

Merdude pulling up seaweed. 

He obviously needs it for something, though I can't imagine what. 

"Dreamland Virus"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Blue lead in my arms and legs

Twinkles in my fingertips

The world turned blue and swimming

I'm confused

I must be in a dream

A dream

Dreamland

Dreamland Virus.

A ticklish lethargy in my chest

An alien waking in my breast

I'm floating away from what's real

I'm lost

I must be infected

By a dream

Dreamland

Dreamland Virus. 

It's got me reeling-

Dream

Dreamland

Dreamland Virus

Dream

Dreamland

Dreamland Virus

Walk away from the bright sounds

Try to work with the lights out

I remember I've seen this place before

I'm suspicious

I must have forgotten

About the dream

Dreamland

Dreamland Virus. 

It's got me reeling-

Can't seem to find the ground

Can't seem to figure out

What or who it's all about

I'm a melancholy captive bound

By a dream

Dreamland

Dreamland Virus

Reeling-

Dream

Dreamland

Dreamland Virus

Dream

Dreamland

Dreamland Virus

Dream

Dreamland

Dreamland Virus

Dream

Dreamland

Dreamland Virus.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I wrote a song.

Stop

Drifting pain to hate arrive

Stop

Losing will to look alive

Run

Hard away from budding lie

Tear apart the growing strands before you change your mind.

Drawing Challenge Day 42- Great grandparents 75th Anniversary

Today was my great-grandparent's 75th wedding anniversary party. 

My great-grandpa Harold bought this Model A when he was 16, and has had it ever since. I did a sketch of it at the party and gave it to him and grandma. My sister Autumn should also get credit for providing the paper and idea- I just arrived when she was starting a sketch and redid the whole thing XP 

A little girl named Annika (I think she was probably around 8?) saw the picture I drew and asked Autumn if I could do a portrait of her- and of course Autumn told her I could. So I did, in about two and a half minutes XD We got interrupted for a family picture, but she seemed happy, and I gave her the portrait to keep. 

"Be There" by Seafret song cover

I love this song.

Quicky. Long day today. 

I was at the forge when I thought of her and saw her.
I compared her to me, and saw that she was far more untied and free.
I saw she had been preparing for something-- unusually strong in her weakness now.
I saw a strange space before her that she walked into with a faithful heart.
And I was filled with sorrow and grief.
I saw the warning had been given kindly years ago. Rest, recovery, and preparation had followed.
Now I see a great and terrible future.
A man beside her. The gospel on her lips, and pain and suffering with the Lord to hold her.
I see the end.
I remain and endure and am struck to the core.
I pray my Lord, be merciful.
If you take her, come soon after.
Do not prolong our suffering- hear our cries and hasten.
Your will be done.
I saw all this and felt all this, and wept on the gravel beneath my boots.
