BLESSED BY DESIRE
How often does one get to say such a thing? Today, however, it is MIRACULOUSLY TRUE! Pictured above is the glorious work of Kirsten Stingle, Desire...AND SHE IS MINE! MINE I TELL YOU, ALL MINE!
I had hardly dared to hope I could manage such a purchase and, technically, I can't. In steps my hero, my partner Demon, with his credit card and says he is willing to lend me the money. He knows I'm good for it. Just recently I paid him back the considerable sum I had borrowed for the Ghostbabies excursions.
What an absolutely perfect end to a veritable insanity of extravagance is this work of art!
My life henceforth will become one of monastic dedication to my own pursuits as an artist. This has been my unacted upon intention for a scandalously long time but that will change NOW. I must become worthy of my possessions. At my minimum wage, part-time job at an art supply store it will take me roughly 500 hours to pay Demon back if I live on rice and tuna. This is an exaggeration of sorts since Demon not only houses me but has seen to it that I don't cease eating altogether many times already.
I have been quite wild with resentment about my job ever since I got it but, embarrassingly, I do not really hate it as sincerely as I feel I should. It may well force me to take my artwork more seriously and to become better organized and that is long overdue INDEED! It certainly does leave me plenty of free time and I value time more than money anyday!
That this enigmatic queen shall arrive with her plague mask, that Demon so kindly supports me in my pursuits and reassures me that both my extraordinary treasures and myself are safe and loved, fills me with gratitude and a flood of conviction about the possibilities my own talents may have.
Love that beautiful artwork and so glad Demon helped you own it. Sometimes we know we just HAVE to have something which stirs something deep in us. It's not the Zen way, but I, like you, need to be surrounded by the things I love to look at and which make my heart sing. Enjoy it to the full - you deserve it. I will pin this so I can regularly enjoy it, too :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your comment. You cannot imagine how much I hate to tell you that Desire was brutally smashed by UPS. My heart is as broken as she is.
