This year I lost a very unique relationship in my life. It is an on-going loss because it was not through death but rather a transition out of relating in a specific way. Around that time and related to that loss, some of my other relationships evolved and changed in several different directions. I experienced loss and grief in a way I had not anticipated or indeed felt before.

 

It was a very difficult time and I barely clung onto my existence and in the truly overwhelming moments I found meditation a useful escape. I have struggled with the "classic"style of meditation in the past and have found doing something repetitive and rhythmic like painting quite useful.

This wall piece inside my house was about letting go of pain after allowing myself to sit and feel it. It was peaceful and grounding and helped me in a really lonely moment. Every day when I walk past it, it reminds me of the pain and it also reminds me that I will be ok, it will all be ok.
