solitude

Hi all ...
This is another page I made recently ... I already had the background in my watercolor paper book.
The stamp image of the man and the fuzzy cut elements on the left were sitting around on my desk as well as the heart stamp and the ant. So I just added the TH stamps, the background stamps, and the branches.

I hope it's more or less coherent, made it without any thinking or planning, done utterly intuitively by an autodidact :-)
There's not really a story behind this. 
Solitude often is considered a negative condition within our society, wherever you go or have a look you are told how important it is to have lots of friends, lots of hobbies, company ...obviously it's a shame to miss anything that's going on and I observed that many people don't seem to be able to be on their own.
For my part solitude is mostly just a bliss ... it's essential for me to get back to myself, feel myself ...  only I don't get it very often.
From time to time I'm secluding myself from society, from people ... searching for solitude. That's nothing personal, not that I don't like the people connected to me any more, it's just that I'm scared of using touch with myself. Recently I noticed that those phases tend to last longer and longer, sometimes it's just hard for me to keep in touch with people ... Perhaps those times are more prolonged because it gets harder to find healing solitude ... I don't really know.
Anyway, I'm here.

Hugs, Suzanne xxx

  1. I do 'get' where you are coming from Suzanne, sometimes life just gets in the way and we need to take time out - I find myself doing it more and more these days too!
