Scribbled Lives Week 42—Compassion

As I was thinking about compassion, a number of texts crossed my path. After settling on one that seemed right, I didn’t feel motivated to engage with it. I wonder if that ever happens to you?

Then I stumbled on an email exchange that took place last year during a dark time. Somehow, lettering a deeply personal text spoke more to me of compassion. 

Still making wrong letters, this time giving the letters some bounce. Watercolour using Automatic 4 pen, pointed pen, and pointed brush on Saunders Waterford 140# HP. The first line has an identity issue, but once I got going, the letters became less wrong—or more wrong—in a good way!
