Scorpion
Our inner darkness. What can it all mean? A powerful energy that is helmed deep in our hearts. Each brush stroke is my entire life of pain, trials & tribulations, regrets, downfalls, all wrapped in one. It can be scary looking at the past of memories we have done wrong in life. Somethings we wished we could make right again.
After my mother passed, it was one of the darkest moments for me. I lost my best friend, a mother, a soldier, the building blocks of our immediate family. In the end, art & music kept me going. Bringing me out of the darkness.
My older sister is a Scorpio, she was a second mother to us basically. She has a real-life preserved scorpion in her office home. If you ever see one in life, it can be very intimidating.
When I lived in State College, Pennsylvania, I remember my aunt brought some crabs from Maryland. After we threw them all out. The next morning, myself, along with my sister noticed there was tons of baby scorpions that were crawling all over the trash bag of crabs. We both wondered, where in the hell could these things have come from. It was a mind-blowing sight, and experience. Hundreds of scorpions crawling over the trash. I will never forget it.
These are just moments in my life. I was eight years old when that happened. The past can be scary, and it can also be your future. Hang on to them, remember, and grow from them. 🦂
