The Best Support

The best way to help

Is to listen

Advice seems to pour

From those

Who insist they understand

But have never experienced it.

Those who help

Are those who listen

Those who accept

There is no magic cure

Accept they cannot instantly

Make things happily ever after

The best support

Is not a quick fix

But a listening ear,

No judgment,

And acceptance.

Hi I'm Shiloh.  I've lived with severe ME and Fibromyalgia since age 10.  I wrote this at age 16 after a year of being entirely bedridden.  I had a book of poems and drawings, 'Stranger In The Moving Chair,' self published in 2004.  Now I am still ill but not as severe and I love to experiment and find joy in art (self taught.)

all i did was listen books have arrived!

all i did was listen books have arrived!

i have begun packaging up the dear orders that have come in so far...

including these fun girlfriend packs!

(http://rachelawes.com)

shelves have been hung, in white, green, yellow, orange, pink + blue, 

for the other books to rest

+ await their new homes.

as delightful as it is to finally receive these into my hands,

i am finding that my deepest joy is in the sending them back out.

in the letting go. in the giving my heart away.

...
here's a lil' rough video of my first opening of the book ~
you can see both my practical/checking it out + simply delighted sides:

stars + shelves

as i got a lil' fear + temble-ee

about pursuing the moving forward 

with putting my book into

our beautiful world, this sentence dropped in

+ i made this drawing...really, for all of us.

i've been having fun envisioning 

+ beginning to put together what i'll set 

all these books on!

stay tuned, dear ones.

AND

charmed

by the wee fairy

juggling spheres of magic berries in her hand

not only did she watch

with her heart she did listen

for tales of once upon a time

spilled forth

with the mesmerizing spinning

and

tossing of each berry as it danced into the air
