Desert Night Bloom or Dark Night of the Soul?  This is from my current sketchbook.  I sometimes don't process art for a long time after creating it.  This is one of my attempts at Illustrator, I'll post the sketch next.   The family tree can be a faulty tree, as demonstrated by my own flawed health.  Our battles, both physical and emotional are ones we essentially fight alone.  The beauty is, we grow and get stronger.  If a plant, dependent upon water to grow, can grow in a desert and even bloom, then so can we.  Sick or not, we are genetically coded to survive, like the desert night bloom;)
