The connection

Postby .Pardalis. » Wed Sep 07, 2011 10:10 pm

Bacterial meningitis.
Fevers , seizures,lost tips of fingers and strange effects.
a sick 5 year old me has no Idea what is happening,when the white wolf walks into the bedroom where she rests.
It just sits there silently staring.
Watching the fever take that child over.
A ghost of a headache still haunts me
and that wolf still graces me with it's presence sometimes.
My connection with wolves is deeper than the art in my gallery,They have somehow become entwined
with the identity I associate as me.
deeper than spirituality,and more abstract then I care to think about.
That wolf is both comforting and frightening,always watching and always silent when it appears.
Earthly objects do not concern it,the wolf walks straight through,like a ghost
matching the ghostly headache of that sickness im feeling again now.
Its hard to draw when she is sitting at my feet looking solid,when I know she isn't there at all.

That picture is beautiful, but in a way I find your words more profound. That oekaki summary is so poetic and beautifully written; I was skimming it and then I got caught in the sense of wonder it inspired in me and had to re-read it twice :D Your connection with wolves is very deep indeed and I can feel it in your words.
Image
I keep six honest serving-men
(They taught me all I knew);
Their names are What and Were and When
And How and Why and Who.
I send them over land and sea,
I send them east and west;
And after they have worked for me,
I give them all a rest.

I let them rest from nine till five,
For I am busy then,
As well as breakfast, lunch, and tea,
For they are hungry men.

But different folk have different views;
I know a person small~
She keeps ten million serving-men,
Who get no rest at all!
She sends 'em abroad on her own affairs,
From the second she opens her eyes
One million Hows, two million Wheres,
And seven million Whys!
-Rudyard Kipling

xD lol thanks for that,Its super hard to translate something so vague into words,so when it all spilled out I hoped it had worked. I'm glad I dont sound like a crazy fool and actually accomplished what I was trying to do ^^ ...> > although sometimes i think I'd trade in that weird sentinel to be rid of this headache..arrg.(Seriously tho I really appreciate the understanding,more than you can know.)

I want to add that this picture and accompanying text is more me( as in the raw sense of me) than most things I do and sleep deprivation isn't helping my attempts to explain *dismay* whatever ill fix it when I regain some normalcy<3 *edit*
