Sometimes it is much harder work to release the things (memories) that sting us, than to hold onto them.
But in the end, it is worth it to send them on their way, and gain peace of mind.
The girl in this painting has been stung, but she clasps her hands behind her back, refusing to hold onto the sensation of hurt.
She intently focuses instead on creating a sky-blue space
for her thoughts to inhabit.
