Beauty’s Happy Thoughts – Anthony’s Crazy Love and Life Lessons in Empathy (wordpress.com)

—-

Beauty, stood alone, collecting her thoughts.

She collected them, safely storing each.

Not conflicted by her haves and have nots.

A happy contentment just in her reach.

Sweet feeling inside like a summer peach.

Her lived life thus far has been far from fair.

Now she floats through, almost lighter than air.

Filled with a strength she thought she’d never have.

Strolling down the boulevard with a flare.

A fulfilled life that she’d happily grab.

Who do I spend the most time with?

Who do you spend the most time with?

The person I spent the most time with is my niece. She is still young enough where is likes to hang out with her Auntie and of course I take advantage of it. Both of us enjoy creating art and that is what we do when we are together.

We often spend our time drawing and coloring. Sometimes we choose a theme for our art, such as animals, nature, or even our favorite cartoon characters. My niece loves using colorful markers and glitter, and I enjoy introducing her to different art techniques and materials. It’s always a fun and positive experience when we get creative together.

Frankensteina

Short tempered teacher sits at her loom

Creating a dark aura of gloom.

–

Her students remained frightened

Since her bolts need to be tightened.

–

So the classroom is filled with such doom.

Unplugging

M.A.D. Works

How do you know when it’s time to unplug? What do you do to make it happen?

When I feel overwhelmed with work or personal life, I know it’s time to unplug. One of the activities that helps me unwind is drawing while listening to music. Engaging in these two activities simultaneously allows my mind to stop overthinking, providing me with a sense of peace for a while.

Additionally, I find peace in nature. During times when I need to unplug, I’ve taken trips to Joshua Tree, and the experience has been incredibly refreshing. If I can’t make it to Joshua Tree, I visit a local park, find a quiet bench, and simply observe the world around me.

Recognizing the importance of unplugging has been a learning process for me. Since realizing its significance, I’ve made a conscious effort to prioritize this practice in order to prevent feeling overwhelmed.

Clubbing Manifesto

Tony was from Rowland Heights

He’d rest all day and party nights.

Then he’d groan and roll over

Each morning with a hangover.

–

Donning his periwinkle tights.

Art Work- Feelings with Poem

M.A.D. Works

Poem by Anthony

https://empathmuch.wordpress.com/

Sekenglif (feelings)

A perfect sphere surrounds us each day

It’s our reality of everything we see

A myriad of emotions, are at play

And many affect both you and me

–

Outside the sphere, feelings abound

Advertisement

And each its own unique face

Happiness, sadness, and others are found

Surrounding people of every race

–

Which we choose or rather chooses us

We often have very little choice

Confronting our feelings is a must

When talking in our inner voice

–

We might as well roll with it all

There’s no need to lose control

Feelings, inside of us rise and fall

Learn to ride the ebb and flow

–

So how do we deal with all these thoughts

How do we gain an upper hand

Dealing with the past, you’ve wrought

Helps you draw boundaries in the sand

–

Then one day, you create a space

Between what you see and what you feel

Putting self control in place

Preventing overreaction, a bad way to deal

–

So as the realities challenge with strife

Remember, you are in control

Of your reality and your life

Don’t let your feelings take a toll…

Artwork – Cinderella

M.A.D. Works

Cinderella has always been one of my favorite fairy tales, and I have always been fascinated by her story. So, naturally, I felt compelled to draw her. I am quite pleased with the way the drawing turned out. However, upon reflection, I believe that if I were to do it again now, I could further improve the result. Nevertheless, I still hold a deep admiration for the way it came out initially.

Art & Poem- 100 Ghost

M.A.D. Works

Poem by Anthony
https://empathmuch.wordpress.com/

100 ghosts are haunting me

Not fifty, seventy-five, thirty, or three.

–

Each one takes up its own space

With different expressions upon their face

–

A snarky smirk or frown for a while

A look of anger or crooked smile

–

Why are they here what do they want

Can’t they find another to haunt

–

I’d ask them all but they don’t say

Why they never go away

–

I should hire a medium to take a look

Or tell me why they continue to spook

–

But the spiritual world is a closed book

And as a mortal I’m afraid to look

–

So I found my answer in the end

Rather than fight them, embrace them friends

–

As my logical conclusion is here

The ghosts all start to disappear

–

First smirky, fearful, then happy and mad

Next nervous, thoughtful, then silly and sad

–

Each ghostly apparition leaves

Taking along their gown and sleeves

–

As they’re gone I realize the key

Each of the ghosts was an aspect of me

–

Emotions can be scary but never fear

There’s a hundred feelings for everyone here.

–

So next time when adversity has you thrown

Think of those chalky friends and you won’t be alone.

This is one of my recent works, and I’m so thrilled with the outcome! It all started with a GIF I sent someone, and their response was incredibly inspiring. I’m absolutely in love with how this piece turned out.
