Lydia's Purple Studio: Shake, Rattle & Roll

Truth telling can be the hardest but the most necessary thing in the world to do. But you can save yourself in the process.

Lune Rêverie

The Size of her Soul

By III06©

(Josephus Thompson)

The sun could rise and set in the size of her soul

Not his story, but her story

The fabric of life sewn together by the treads of struggle and sacrifice

Time and space

Jolly, bold, giving and determined

Gifted, blessed, encouraged, and loved

Rising from the depths of the lower 9th ward with patches of expression

Lines of life, poetry in motion

Cotton that speaks volumes

Textiles that teach and inspire

Vibrant yellows, oranges and purples

Hues of peace and understanding, passion and purpose

Patterns of elegance stitched by circumstance

Similar to the moon in her name

Her life�s light that which illuminate the night sky and inspire us to push through dark times

Leading with inspiration and faith to safety

To higher ground where foundations are built

Where survival is learned

Where concern doesn�t begin and end with self

Where preservation is about community, family and responsibility

For her it all comes together so simply and naturally
