Gravity

Today I received the most heart breaking story yet, about a gay Christian woman trapped in an empty hetero marriage. She remains anonymous, but she was willing to share a bit of her struggle with me....I feel honoured and touched. I am also beginning to wonder if this project is even bigger than I first thought. I intend to apply for a Canada Council for the Arts creation grant, and I think this project will be my proposal. An illustrated book of these stories? It's always been a goal/dream of mine to illustrate a book. My hero is Dave McKean, illustrator extraordinaire. Hmm...theology meets compassion meets art.
