Is your heart screaming?

Mine certainly feels that way some days.  We live in a time that is beyond challenging, and I suspect that some of you are as emotionally drained as I've been.  From climate change, wars, political unrest, madmen, to drug cartels and so much more, the chaos and horror is unprecedented.

Last week's paint-throwing session has morphed into a series of 'Screaming Hearts' and I'm having trouble stopping.  I came across a quote by Roma Downey  that says it all:

"When hate is loud, love must be louder".  




I'd say these hearts are pretty darn loud.  The high-key, high-contrast colour speaks to me of the polarity that seems rampant these days.  While that may be one way to boost the volume of love, I'll bet there are dozens more that you, as artists, could create - think rough texture, hard and jagged lines, discordant themes and more.  The challenge is on!





I'd be delighted to share your version of a Screaming Heart...feel free to post a link in a comment below.  And if you have a favourite quote about love, I'd happily see that as well.    




And I'll leave you with another quote by Martin Luther King, Jr. that really resonates with me: 

 'I have decided to stick with love...
hate is too great a burden to bear.'  

May your week be filled with love, light and the certain knowledge that eventually we will all remember that we are all one.

  1. Love your hearts and understand your feelings. This is another quote by Martin Luther King Jr.
    “Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend.” – Martin Luther King Jr. I so wish some people would understand this. Sending all my love to you but you are welcome to share it with someone else who needs it. Hugs Angela xXx

  5. So many hearts! So much love! So much and so much.
    I won't be able to take part in this challenge because I have to be hospitalized this week for a few days. Maybe when I get back, depending on how I feel.
    Anyway, keep up your art and your love, it can only do good, can't it?
    I wish you all the best.
    And I send you lots of love through time and space, dear friend.
