I met Renee Roley in the summer of 2019. We struck up a lively correspondence about art and they became an early and staunch supporter of mine through my Patreon. I can't quite comprehend the places where I am both sad and happy thinking of Renee. Renee died in early 2021. Years for reeling from a global pandemic and then the giant year that was 2022 for me, and I'm left still needing to grieve Renee. I will. My intention is to spend more time connecting with my feelings about Renee this summer in silent vipassana retreat. Taking a cue from Renee's stunning art and poetry, I'm going to go looking within for a way forward. This and the next four resurrections make up a five-part series, The Renee Collection. What helps you grieve? |
Today's cartoon is the glorious reimagining of a drawing I didn't know what to do with until one of my Patreon supports added just the magic it needed to bring this image back from the trash pile. |
