“You’re making me tired, mama”, Sterling has started saying when that inner voice of resistance is challenged. What a beautiful expression of what it feels like in the body when our ego doesn’t get it’s way. His shoulders get heavy. His face somewhere between anger and tears. A soul begging for something to break inside. Tired. If we stay in either the ego mind or the tired body too long we risk narcissism or depression. Either one makes us sick. What Sterling needs more than avoidance or criticism is encouragement to get out of his head, to get outside, play, jump in muddy puddles. In a moments time the voice of resistance is gone and he’s not tired anymore. Mama makes a cup of tea.

This is a portrait of Michelle Howell, a hardworking farmwife, mother of five, author, and advocate. On the left side of the bust you can read text from the poem “Anyway” that was on a wall of Mother Teresa’s home for children in Calcutta, India. “If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.” “The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway.” Leslie Nichols, Artist Farmer |
