The Yearning – SOLD

Reproductions, prints and more available in shop
The deepest longing for something other than what is…
A time when one was innocent and free, or held tightly safe and sound
When ones body felt light , unlimited and full of joy
Or ones heart was bursting with love received
The yearning for a fleeting moment from the past, or a deeply imagined hope in the future
We paint our dreams in our deepest yearnings
hoping that one day they may appear before us
And feel like home. ……………© Jo Jayson

We all at some time in our lives , are faced with having to break free of something. Whether it be a relationship that no longer serves us, a job or environment that stifles and suffocates our souls, a friendship that fails to nurture, a living arrangement that stops us from becoming who we are meant to be, an addiction or habit that keeps us prisoner in its grasp. At some point the need to break free calls so loud from the heart of our souls, that we can no longer ignore its whispers. Our hope is that we are supported and held in a gentle and loving embrace by life, as we slowly, carefully and with grace, move on our journey of breaking free…….. © Jo Jayson
