Free Association

The discussion during this sketch was about seeking self destruction to prove to ourselves we deserve nothing but pain and humiliation.

Although the man on the right resembles Jesus Christ it is actually an updated image of our main protector Morton. We take our system name after Morton with Morton’s Pride, as in a lion’s pride. The image across his face is a heart as is the image in the center of the dark figure to the far left. The drawing of Morton was created during the beginning of our conversation when I was less anxious. The very last image drawn was the dark figure. I remember feeling shame when I drew the figure in the middle which I suspect is why the flaming flower was used for hair. I often draw flowers in art therapy pieces to symbolize certain emotions I don’t feel safe enough to express in other ways.

When Morton is drawn he’s drawn short, very skinny and without a shirt. He’s usually wearing shorts in drawings of him.

Chickens

Recently in the “What the hell is going on” household, Fife Senior suggested we purchase a chicken or two. First off, my days of farming are over, second of all things are not so hard that we should put chickens in a small cage out back so they can be scared to death or killed by stray cats, night animals and coyotes. No Fife, no chickens!!!

We have a good amount of space here but not for free roaming chickens.  Oh my gosh, a chicken!!! They’re loud, their dirty and we don’t eat enough eggs to justify caring for it/them properly. No Fife, no chickens!!! Next thing you know he’ll want a milk cow.
