Quagmire: A complex, hazardous, or difficult situation that is incredibly hard to escape.
Crazy-Maker: A person who engages in psychological manipulation or irrational behaviors that intentionally or unintentionally confuse you, make you question your own sanity, and leave you feeling constantly off-balance.
Calm: A state of mental and physical tranquility free from agitation, anxiety, or disturbance.
Our politics these days, to me, are a quagmire caused by crazy-makers. In addition to the daily news, I was recently pulled into a quagmire in my community. I was in great need of getting calm back in my life.
In this series, you will find two halves. Ask yourself which half represents the quagmire and which half is the calm. For me, the act of drawing returns me to a calm state. My hope for you, the viewer, is to also gain a sense of calm.
