In the right spaces, you will be heard without shouting. You will be seen without showing your wounds. You will be understood without changing who you are.

This is not fanart, as you can see. Sometimes, I get struck by an impulse to drop everything and draw something, and this one came like a freight train as soon as I saw this photograph by Pulitzer Prize winning photographer, Rodrigo Abd.

Pictured here is Maria Gomez, 22, carrying her son David, 1, as part of the thousands-strong caravan of migrants journeying north through Central America.

The Trump/GOP Administration has sent troops to the border to stop their arrival, claiming all manner of fear-mongering nonsense in order to boost their poll numbers in the coming election. And as per usual, the most vulnerable - families, LGBTQ individuals, and others escaping persecution - are in the crosshairs.

This is my way of projecting something into the universe. Of sending out a vibration that helps these people find sanctuary and safety somewhere. And especially, of helping people who might otherwise look away, return their gaze to these souls seeking asylum.
