There's a couple of drawings I was planning on getting started with for two fellow FA artists here but...I needed ta do this little sketch first. I might very well return to it later and clean it up a bit since I can never leave a task undone. I've been feeling a bit off this past weekend. No...not sad, angry, bitter, or anything like that just...well...the best term ta use would be run down. You see, I'm a real compassionate guy...almost too compassionate at times. That's not really a bad thing per say but...it can be real draining at times. I just feel so much for other folks and when they hurt, I wanna try and make it right. Like this past weekend, a couple of buds had some real trying situations come up and they were having a time trying ta deal with em. My main instinct is to listen to em and try to help em through it as best I can but...sometimes I feel I haven't done enough or I might have made things worse. These silly little doubts and fears were swirling round my head when I came up with the idea for this sketch. The image of my yote self just sitting down and spending some quiet time in prayer and deep contemplation was exactly what I needed to do. I've gotta remember that I don't have to bear the problems of the world alone. I can't very well be expected to solve every problem in this world but...I can let go of it and let God deal with it. It's not easy. It's prideful I know but...I wanna be able to help everyone and I can't. All I can do is do tha best I can to be there for the folks near me when they need me ta lean on and trust that He'll put the right words in my mouth when a comforting word is needed. And all I can't solve, I can take it off my shoulders and place it on His. So I drew this...to help remind me of just that. I hope it does the same for others who need to unburden themselves. God bless y'all!
