Life ebbs and flows, the tumult isn’t without reason. Rejoice in the clouds the way you do the sunshine. It’s simply redirection, realignment, protection (for the good), revelation- there are truths I would’ve never learned otherwise.

To have your wishes granted you need to take on pain and discomfort, as I have, ensuring your hearts desires will be achieved. Everything requires a sacrifice, the bigger the ask, the larger it’ll have to be. You aren’t special. Everyone has yearnings, aspirations, but it’s only given to those who set themselves apart by putting in the hard work. All that I desire will come into fruition, thanks to all I’ve endured and given up. Can you say the same? Artist: David Shrigley

Sometimes unraveling yarn causes a big mess, like when you leave your knitting out in the first stage of being a cat mom and come home to find Jagger fucked your living room up. Just yarn everywhere.

Typically when yarn is unravelled it’s to turn into something better, beautiful, functional, a metamorphosis of the best kind. A blanket for your baby, a hat to keep your head warm, socks for the feet of someone you love. This is how you should see tower moments (tarot card reference), where things are difficult and you’re pushed to the brink. A glorious unravelling for you to build something new, greater, stronger. You gotta co-create though, by knitting putting those needles to work, that’s what you have to do with the universe. Feel like falling apart? That’s okay, it’s human nature. Artist: David Shrigley

It’s so funny (actually it’s not), when I first saw this piece I thought does the artist mean the physical flame? The flame that ignites lovers? The flame that fuels you? Where is the flame, is it hanging in a lantern outside a cabin covered in snow signaling life? Is it perched by a bedside? There are so many ways to interpret this simple question, each with a different answer. This is how you critically think, question everything, get specifics. Are you someone who takes things at face value, or do you take a moment to cite the source and ask who, what, when, where, why? Artist: David Shrigley
