A Door in the Cosmos
2008-09-29 09:30:51

Drawn all in ink.


I went about for a walk one day and found myself standing in front of a door. A big, heavy door. What time do I have for a door? There is someplace I need to be. Still, curiosity got the better of me. I opened it to see what lies inside.

What is this? It was nothing I have ever seen before. Can this be? I am among the stars? Hopes and dreams. These aren't real. Or are they? Whatever they are, I like them. And my, what a beautiful place to continue my walk. Yes, I must walk. There is someplace I need to be. X marks the spot. There! I need to be there.

I walk along. But somehow, among the spots an stripes, I seem to have lost my way. I ask for directions. Where is X? And I am pointed to all directions. All directions but to X. Stars give bad directions. I need a map.

I continue walking in this place.
Yes, I must walk. There is someplace I need to be.

First-degree cousin died of Leukemia.

Grandmother died of Leukemia.

My aunt had cancer. (She survived, though. Yay.)


I'm anemic, and I'm scared.

"Ours is too good a story to not be lived happily ever after."

 

I love you.



Used a number of stocks for the background.

Line art is my original piece.

 

Time to look at the B-sides of life. That other side that serves as a fresh perspective. Or the gritty details of the story. Or the rare enchanting moments. Or the truths behind lies. Or the lies among truths. Or the action plan to move on. On to the next track. Then it's side A all over again.
