Fool's Day Who managed to invent this conundrum?
A day during which one may freely tell the truth,
confident that nobody will believe it.
Glass Heart from Outside -5 In her heart the light had clearly taken up residence. It was only beneath the coverings over her secrets that shadow remained. But for the most part, her heart was well-lit, revealing the flaws, but also somehow refreshing and renewing all that lay exposed.

They came to lean up against the glass walls and gaze into her residence to see her pain, frustration, and joys. They watched her bask in the light during the day and curl up around the fiery glow enshrined at the center when life darkened. And she seemed lonely to them, but never alone, always speaking to an invisible companion who seemed to reside within that core flame.

Sometimes an
Catching Fire - 4 As she continued to set her broken past into the fire, along with any new experiences that came along, she realized how much less she had been worrying about making people love her. The gaping need for warmth and companionship was already being filled by the flames, and the gentle advice that drifted from them helped so much in clearing the confusion of her heart.

When she looked outside, she could finally see others. So many hearts were cluttered and broken as hers had been. Some were dark, impossible to see clearly. Many shone with the same central blaze she had found, and as she watched them, she realized that they were sharing the flame.
Not Alone - 3 As the mist lifted, she looked around for a companion. Her dream people seemed hollow, now that the flames had warmed her world. How could she understand others? How could they understand her? So many shards had burned. There was enough room for someone else to visit, now.

But what if people couldn't get in?

Surely, if she built a door someone would come looking for her. She sorted through the debris, looking for anything that might help. There were several planks of good advice, and a few pieces of self-improvement that seemed sturdy enough. She gathered them together and headed through the thinning stacks of turmoil to the walls of her he
A Growing Blaze - 2 In all the universe, nothing but the light will ever understand what shapes a heart.

Lost in the midst of shattered expectations, buried in grief, broken, ground up and destroyed--even then, her heart remained a heart. One day, for a brief moment, she looked up and saw someone reaching through the mess with a handful of understanding.

She couldn't see the person clearly, but the offered gift glowed with a light matched only by the flames she both feared and loved. Inside the gift was a story. It was only part of the story, and there were sharp edges where the missing pieces should have been, but there was enough there for her to understand.

Pet peeve ... people who look at my art and say, "Wow! I only draw stick figures!"

*rolls eyes*

Really, people use "I just draw stick figures," as a cover term for "I can't be bothered to try to make something artistic," which is fine. I don't mind that they don't.

But it's better to just say so, instead of acting as if they could never draw, even if they tried. I'm a firm believer in the ability of people to communicate with color, shape and line, so long as they don't expect to reproduce the masters and are willing to do their best with what they see.

So... I drew stick figures! Ahahaha! I draw stick figures too!
