the art of letting go
The Art of Letting Go is a collection of thoughts and sketches through years of heartbreak and healing. For Lindsay, letting go refers to a lifestyle she tries to grasp and mature in, while also gaining the courage to keep moving forward.
“For the dreamers and the brokenhearted, looking for beauty in the ashes”
5x8”, 121 pages. Includes artwork from Lindsay’s collage series Apparitions.
*Revised and Expanded Edition Coming Soon!
Poems from the book:
“love wants courage
the freedom to speak
to choose
to fall
without falling
to be caught
but not tangled
unless I’m tangled
in your arms
tightly
and released.”
“Love is like that
sometimes
overwhelming
overtaking
all sense and control
and the next minute
gone.
oh how much
risk involved
in testing what may
last
if we’re too careful
we may never
know it
at all. ”
“it comes
a softness in the air
a stirring
beneath the surface
washed in sunlight
I feel only peace.
past and present
engulfed in a future
of hope
of the new.
a cool warmth
that shivers and calms
the stillness of joy
of the dew
of the dawn
new air in my lungs
of hope
of the new”
