The Juggler

Here we go! Tis the season to try to do too much as we spread ourselves thin, juggling our time and energy.

In an oversized watercolor, I have tried to
demonstrate the distortions we put ourselves through trying to accomodate the needs of other people and handling too many commitments.

So look upon her as she tries to balance more than she can handle.
And have compassion for the way she twists and turns, unknowingly distorting herself in the process.

Perhaps there is something we can learn from her...

The Captive

Trying to please

as she is pulled in many directions.

She becomes entrapped.

Sometimes self-imposed restrictions.

Often not.

Yet trapped by the invisible

chain of expectations.
