Courage









"Lion", Louis Lassalle,
18X24, Oil



Not to fight
Not to always be right
To sometimes cry
Never to oblige

Not to shout
Not to expose
To think how you're maybe being too cold

To sometimes be silent.

To apologize
To lose some pride
To be content…
She is your damn bride

Being a man.
Not being you.

Transformation.
Fire under water filled with bones... soup.
Old ladies remembering the names of people who died before them... time.
Grief.... a very personal art form. A most difficult teacher of transformation.
A wise path my brave friend. Take a sweater, it may get cold.
