Art Therapy

08/09/2025

The experience of living with depression can be a daily battle for emotional stability. At present, I am coping. My inner child has played a crucial role in enabling me to find calm. Through a regimen of medication and maintaining a busy schedule, I am too exhausted to succumb to excessive self-pity and self-crticism. Each day, the challenge lies in summoning the motivation to initiate activities. For those without a support system, it can be especially difficult. Daily, we must tap into our inner resilience to redirect our focus away from ourselves and towards others. Our inner child yearns to engage in creative play with others also, doing artistic pursuits, music, and imaginative activities. By allowing our inner child to nurture us, we can uncover the enchanting benefits of winning the race with art therapy.

Come Be With Me

Come sit with me a minute in the longing of my heart,
fill my emptiness with your loving spirit.
Tell me all the things my soul yearns to hear,
assure me of your presence ever constant and nearest.

Lay with me in my dreams where I search for your comfort,
let me touch you and feel your warmth everlasting.
Hold me close in the peaceful state of your knowing,
confirm in me that our love is not forgotten or passing.

Come hold my hand in the darkest haunting of my fears,
remind me that you're merely a thought away.
Reach for me in the stillness that looms within,
calm my worries and angst that daily weigh.

Walk beside me and carry my grief ever heavy,
hold me up when my heart wants to crumble.
Whisper reminders that you're with me always and nigh,
and of the strength of He who will hold me from stumble.

Come wipe the tears that threaten to wash away my light,
hold my face to His grace that shines from above.
Rock me in the bossom of nature's comforting lullabies,
preach to me the hope and promise of our Father's love.

Be with me in my memories, sweet love that never dies,
let me forever hear your voice and joyous song.
Wrap me in the solace of our love that's eternal,
remain ever alive in my heart where you belong.

Note: I don't think I've ever shared this piece before now. I wrote it a little over a year after the four rapid family losses in 2.3 years that rocked my world to its core. I was desperately searching for them all to show me they were still near. I can feel my longing... my aching... my searching for hope. 💗

A clay Medusa.

I created this piece by sculpting clay and firing it at college. It has a likeness to my deceased sister. I envisioned a Medusa representation, featuring snakes in her hair, a well-known art piece. Enjoy.
