Her story in words...

Her words held her deepest wishes, her fears, her joys, but most importantly...her story.
Su if you are reading this, know that this piece did not start out being about you, but somehow ended up that way. Or maybe more to the point, it ended up as a reflection of mine and your written thoughts and visual symbols all layered together to create this final (at least I think I'm done?) image. Putting yourself, your craft, your words OUT THERE for all the world to see, takes a lot of courage and personal strength. I admire that in you and enjoy it when I can recognize that in myself too. Maybe that is how our lives...our stories...will be forever intertwined?

wow...i don't quite know what to say here. i am honored to have been a part of this - and yet in some ways feel a bit naked as if i am looking at a painting of someone who reached into the depths of my soul and painted with it. your fearlessness is my inspiration and your friendship is a precious gift. bella, bella. xoxo
