Hunger Bird of my Heart
May 02, 2016
Law inspired art today. And the term hunger bird comes from Neil Gaiman in his book "Anansi Boys"

"Hunger Bird of my Heart"
It claws at my heart, this pain of mine. Gnaws my bones in the night and leaves me starving for love in the mornings.
Just sitting here speaking with you, I flinch inwardly at its unexpected pecking, beak stabbing where I'm tender. It's not your fault but it makes me not want to talk to you.
Yet this pain holds a key. Greater light and knowledge. Greater empathy. It will become my broader, deeper, fiercer love.
I cannot escape this pain. It is mine now for life. But unmasking the pain will bestow me with all its gifts.
Yet the silken ties to freedom seem out of reach sometimes. Delicate, those threads wax and wan like the phases of the moon. A soft touch from you, my distant friend, is all I need in order to find the string and follow it home.
Back to my heart and to my power.

Welcome to the long-awaited feels comic!
This comic is a conversation about life's trials and triumphs. Things aren't always right and fair... but magic can be found everywhere.
Alchemy (in mythology) is about turning lead into gold. Alchemy (in life) is about something heavy, like sorrow, pain, guilt, anger, fear... and turning it into light, strength, wisdom, hope and love.
I will be sharing a lot of personal stories here, and I hope that isn't uncomfortable for anyone. The purpose behind being so open is threefold.
1- To facilitate greater healing for myself as I share my stories in a way I never have before.
2- To facilitate greater healing for others who also have difficult stories.. maybe stories they cannot share.
3- To bring greater understanding for those who have never experienced these sort of pains in their own life and want to gain insight and sympathy.
Whatever you get out of this series, I want you to know that I sincerely believe you can take anything in your life and use it for good. A stepping stone instead of a stumbling block.
Your soul is the Philosopher's Stone. Use it to turn lead into gold. Shine with the greatest potential you have locked away inside.
I believe in you. <3
