Cold bites at my sweater as I death grip the handrail, before entering the dark cemented gap between the house and earth.
A focused eye finds what it’s looking for in the corner, full of shadows. While I search for a light in the switchless room, I stumble upon a knob. Twisting it, darkness grows warm, slowly bringing to life the tools and cork board in front of me. Instantaneously all the momentum to get to this spot, no longer exists. I am speechless and inspired to create.
Granted, working with these tools would be an experience, that of which I have had before, but the craft of which I desire to do, is very specific. It’s words and pictures on a digital canvas. It’s emotional, for I am tied story by story, moment by moment, word by word, letter by letter, shadow by shadow, light by light, texture by texture. It’s water on a hot day and warmth in frozen winter. It’s under my skin and has me bounding out of darkness back into the bite of cold.

Remember where there is darkness there is light……
