Quick update on the cat front. I have adopted a beautiful 5 year old all black cat that I’ve named Rowena and nicknamed Rue for short.

Welcome to the Picture it & Write creative writing exercise. I invite people to join in, comment with your paragraph of fiction to accompany the image. It doesn’t have to follow my story or reflect the same themes. It can be a poem or in a different language (please provide a translation).

Please continue to write however you’re inspired, but add a tag to the beginning of your post if there’s mature content in order to keep Picture it & Write an engaging event for all of our followers.

There is darkness inside me. Anger. Fear. Loss. I dwell too long and I allow this part of me to grow. Soon, it consumes me. I drive away those things in my life that keep me sane, keep me human. Have I passed the tipping point? Am I beyond redemption?

–Eliabeth Hawthorne

Someone I loved once gave me
a box full of darkness.
it took me years to understand
that this, too, was a gift.

I find this quote so beautiful. There are many ways to interpret it. The first thing it made me think about was how there is so much to learn, experience and explore in both the good and bad, light and dark. It also reminds me of a conversation I had with an old friend… she was a great drawer and I wanted to be as good as she was. I remember she told me that when you are adding shading to your drawing to keep in mind that – the stronger the light shines, the harsher the shadows.

What does it make you think of?
