June 15, 2010 - Army of ink The End
What happens when the bread crumbs run out ?
Maybe I’m destined to be a flightless bird .
Footnote: Indian Brave represents the acceptance of what we can and can’t do – and the liberation that comes from admitting defeat (although some would have us believe it’s failure).
Beyond a message of acceptance, Indian Brave is also about the Super Hero within the girl. Just like BOys, girls aspire to having Super Hero powers too – in their dreams. It’s important to note this because the Army of Ink troops can be very hard to live up to. So I keep the inks close as my constant source of strength, my Super Heroes that come to my rescue time and time again – whilst reminding myself that I have skin not feathers – and I don’t have to always be so brave and strong and capable.
Poor chook.

Sometimes things don’t go the way I want them to, particularly when I forget to make room for us, not just me – us.
