With Every Lonely Tear

:heart:Dearest Sarah Desirae. Your tears hurt me every time I see them fall. I know our faith is shakey and torn and burned. But, your undying faith and hope keep us going. You, small as you are, carry us. You lead us through. You hold us up. You make us strong. And, while we're broken, you make us brave -- help us stand tall when we'd rather cradle in a corner away from the hurt. I'll catch every single tear and cry with you. I'll never let you go. We will make it through together. These tears and rips at the heart will build us up. They'll puddle in mercy water, showering us in grace and redemption. We will dance again darling. Until then, I will hold your hand and be the one to sing you to sleep. I will carry you to Jesus on my knees..:heart:

Kids

As a survivor of child abuse and trauma (as well as adult abuse), photographs of children have a very unique place in my heart. Even the most joyous face on a child can actually evoke SO much sadness in me. Images of sadness, abandonment and pain can actually rekindle a sense of validation and connection with me. Then, each image can evoke a different experience inside of me simply depending on the day I happen to view it.
I never plan to have children and actually don't do well with kids (mostly because of what I've already explained; it's always uncertain and unpredictable how I may feel around them, let alone interact). The images of them here on dA seem to hold a nostalgic, sweet soft-spot in most people's hearts around here. For me, that's not the case, really. But, the essence of a child and capturing that in some way artistically Speaks to me. It's healing, while at times painful. It's beauty and joy and sometimes silly. But, most of all, it's something I want to Experience (vicariously through these images). Whether it's joy and carefree bliss in innocence I never got to have myself, or even tending to old wounds by looking at the pain in another child's eyes; I need to experience it now. Thank you to all artists who make this possible for me.

.. misguided ghost ..

Journal Entry: Tue Dec 8, 2009, 12:08 PM


this girl has completely lost her way.
i'm nothing and no one.
nothing be an apparition.
no body.
no soul.

i express hurt that falls on deaf ears,
and the joy is disregarded as not enough.
my unfinished business is more than unfinished now.

"i'm a wanderer now;
sorrow befalls me"
....that's what Meg and Dia said.
I understand that now.

where am i going.
i'm walking blindfolding with a spilling tongue,
my words tripping on the sidewalk cracks i haven't found my footing on yet.

and yet i'm homeward beyond.
hey, isn't that an oxymoron.
leaving home is homeward bound.

i'm a misguided ghost.
my mission serves a purpose i believe not even i will receive clarity on.





I'm going away for a while;
..but I'll be back..?
Don't try and follow me.
I'll return as soon as possible..?
See I'm trying to find my place,
But it might not be here where I feel safe..
We all learn to make mistakes,

..I'm just one of those ghosts; traveling endlessly.
Don't need no roads; in fact they follow me.

And, we just go in circles

Now I'm told that this is life,
And pain is just a simple compromise.
So we can get what we want out of it,
Would someone care to classify??
Of broken hearts and twisted minds
So I can find someone to rely on..
...
We are just misguided ghosts traveling endlessly;
The ones we trusted the most?
Pushed us far away
And there's no one road,
We should not be the same.
But I'm just a ghost
..and still they echo me...?

For me, photography is an act of worship, of honoring God for giving me vision, and of providing the people I photograph with glue for their relationships.
