#thread lightly

Thread lightly, it's sickle cell awareness month 🌻🤍🖤

Here is the #day20 #sketch for #inktober , the theme this time being #thread , and the first thing that came to mind was the phrase " thread lightly."

EDIT: I'm realising now that the word might be Tread, not Thread. Oh well, the sketch is already done!

Gorilla art, women’s work, and metaphor tread their way through this found message. May we all be able to speak so poignantly with the peace threaded here.

                      it has been ten years since his death & still, the pain threatens to eat him                              alive. forgotten memories; thoughts laden with guilt & [ sᴏʀʀᴏᴡ ],                              & the sense of complete hopelessness that had once consumed                                            him have clawed their way back to the surface.

          calloused fingers wrap around the bottle of vodka & raise it to his lips,           draining its contents before allowing the bottle to slip through his fingers &            shatter against the cracked pavement underneath his feet. the shards of glass           at his feet mirroring his current state; full of broken thoughts he cannot repair.           the sound of dry, windblown leaves being crushed beneath feet pulls him out of           his reverie & antonin instinctively retracts his wand from his pocket & aims it at                   the broken glass, muttering a quick vanishing spell under his breath. 

                                ‘ & they shall come, like a thief in the night. ‘                  azure hues turn towards the figure, silently assessing the                   individual.        ‘        isn’t it past your bedtime? ‘
