“Perhaps all the dragons in our lives
are princesses who are only waiting
to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage.
Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence,
something helpless that wants our love.”

DeleteBeautiful Irene, I adore your use of mediums here, The collaged hair is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteI used bits of a decorative napkin for the hair. It just happened to fall out of my collage stash and was perfect.
DeleteLove you've kept the air of the exotic in this one. Always fascinates me that Rilke acted as secretary to Rodin - the arts all tie together.
ReplyDeleteI had forgotten that bit about Rilke being Rodin's secretary. I agree that the arts are connected by a thin but durable tie.
