Metaphorical Art: Spirit Animal that protects our soul.

This is the picture I drew from the following post.  Its an Owl holding a paintbrush with an image of a face under its protective wing.  The heart of the Owl is love, God and Angels.

I drew this on loose leaf paper cross ways to represent the lines being bars that may trap you.  It will take the viewer a few minutes to spot the lines in the drawing because your spirit animal broke the bars that trap you.

I'm sure you've heard the term 'flying blind'.  As I was drawing this, I thought about all the fake people that pretend to be supportive.  The left wing is drawn weirdly, T.  No, Love, its drawn in reference to those that want to guide you wrongly and hide the truth. 

The Owl (capitalized because I want to) has the other eye open for laser focus.  She can see more this way.  Her hearing is sharper and the sense of protectiveness grows.

The face in the spread out wing is a refection of you hiding under the wings of your spirit animal.  Your spirit animal senses your misgivings and takes you under their wing.  A fun fact about the wings of certain large birds is the feathers under the wing are longer as they support the smaller wings that face the world.

Hmm....why is that?  Well the larger wings will carry you further than those smaller ones.  I don't understand, T.  Love, the small feathers represent the ability for people to get closer to you.  They are much easier to ruffle.  The larger wings keep you well protected from all the harm the wrong people can endure.  Cool.

There's a cross on top of the heart.  I have a strong relationship with God.  He knows me better than all.  He won't let me fall.  He will let me be disappointed in a situation that didn't work because He knows what I need more than I do.

The wings on the sides of the heart are for God's extra protection.  He sends His Angels to guide me along this path that has more dark than light.  They also give me warnings about impending trouble.  They whisper to me, talk through radio channels and even show their presence.

Are you drunk?  No.  On drugs?  No.  I am open and more than aware of my surroundings.  Most people are out just living.  I have major road blocks.  I won't go into that.  I will tell you that when darkness comes a calling, they show their presence.  I could go on for days.

The heart is huge.  Yes, I have a large heart.  Its been broken more times than a heart should be.  I give many many many chances after the hurt.  Its when I want to harm myself that I need my spirit animal more than the air that I breathe.  The heart is all of whom I am.

Black n' white.....why?  There's always a gray area.  I prefer the structure of black n' white to show strength in a boundary.  Its important to me that everyone understands I'm sassy for a reason.  I have no intention of hurting you.  I'm just naturally playful.  I'm not everyone's cup of T.  

I'm grateful for that.  I can only spread my wings so far.  I, like most of you, have been used and abused.  Rather than be bitter, I like to draw on loose leaf paper the strength of how they didn't break me.  I generally do not go back for seconds of their harsh helpings.  Oh no no no!

If I'm forced to deal with them, I fold this loose leaf spirit animal art and hand it over.  What if they sell it?  They can't.......the lines on the paper prevent it from being fine art.  The more they handle it, the more worn the paper gets.  Some papers get stronger with handling and some get weaker.

I suggest that you use loose leaf paper that was strong in the beginning and weaker the more they show this art.  Hmmm...why?  The more they show your strength, the less they attempt to make you feel weak.  Fairly simple metaphor.

Thanks for reading this and playing along.

Love Always,
