Your Long Middle
Draw a single line.
It does not need to be artistic.
Show:
life before
the tangled middle
where you are now
where you hope the path may lead
There is no correct map.
Only your experience of moving through it.
Share Your Long Middle
Every Long Middle looks different.
Some lines stay mostly straight.
Some loop, twist, break apart, or slowly rise again.
If you create your own Long Middle sketch, I’d love to see it.
You’re welcome to send your drawing, reflection, or photo by email : MaryMonokySpeaks@gmail.com .
With permission, I may share selected images on this site or social media as part of a growing collection of how people move through change, loss, healing, and becoming.
There is no perfect version.
Only honest ones.
