Today’s drawing of Mary Magdalene

It has almost been a week since I last posted here. I ended up having to go to the hospital and staying a night, then given hospital care at home. They were worried an infection might become generalized and gave me very strong antibiotics. I was so tired, I gave up everything. A surrender.

Tonight, I felt better and decided to do a drawing, since I haven’t given up forever.

I realized I have been really pushing myself since the beginning of the year, working a full time schedule and then coming home to work some more. I got myself to the point of burnout. Which I had been feeling for years, but this was the last stage.

I’m not sure where to go from here. I can’t quit any of my activities. I will need a spiritual and creative solution.

In a way, I feel this challenge is in itself the answer. I just can’t quite see it clearly yet.

Whatever the best route is, I know that the first step is necessarily rest. Wherever I go next, I also know the Magdalene will be there leading the way, if I can hear her.
