Sometimes I’m lucky enough to spend time in the middle of nature doing one of my favourite things.
I love drawing lines. I’ve shared many posts where I talk about the meditative quality of opening a clean page in my sketchbook and simply drawing lines. I can get lost for hours as I fill a page with line drawings and doodles.
I’ve been participating in Adele Bruno’s weekly ‘It’s As String Thing’ challenges that she hosts on her website Tickled to Tangle, for a few months now.
However, I’ve been lax in sharing the tiles that I’ve completed for the weekly challenges since the spring. The last time I shared one of my tiles was almost 10 challenges ago. That was challenge 288 where Adele chose patterns for us to use that resembled spring flowers.
During the past few months, I’ve been trying to do more, in spite of the pain I live with daily.
Today, however, the pain forced me to do less. I can’t sit without feeling piercing pain through the right side of my pelvis from where a huge cyst was surgically removed almost four years ago, after I’d lived under the shroud of a misdiagnosis for two years. I also can’t stand without that same piercing pain shooting up and down my right leg and through my right hip.
