Oil on canvas. -------- TO FEEL THE I AM Through love. To disappear into someone’s eyes. To write songs about them. To make art from the way they breathe. Love not as a form of completion But as a mirror. Love not as a rescue But as an invitation to sovereignty. Love as a way to honor softness Without ever being an emotional crutch. A love that lets me ache Without fixing it. Love as an altar. Not the answer.
