I am just $203 from my goal. I'm posting this everywhere.

Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or CPTSD is the term used to describe the effects of repeated or multiple trauma experiences. I was abused as a child and as an adult. It is a hard reality, and results in a disability that has me unable to work. It is indeed complex, and I won't try to provide a complete write-up here. I just wanted to alert this audience that I am dealing with active CPTSD symptoms at this stage in my life. Part of the reason for being on tumblr is to have a creative outlet as help in healing this condition. I appreciate every little like that comes along.

A nearly perfect stack of multiple balance points. It took a long time from repeated tries. It didn't last long after taking the photos in haste. Just a light breeze threw off the balance. Why do this? Give it a try sometime and see for yourself. When people watch me do this, I invite them to try it themselves. They always find a way to stack stones themselves. People around the world do this for the pure love of the art. There are pieces captured that demonstrate a very high level of skill with the craft. My skill level is quite moderate compared to the other pieces. This is art.

A self-image. A warrior standing on a rock. Drawn by Google Gemini from the prompt "Warrior standing on a rock." This image came from five words.

A commissioned water color of one of my stone balance pieces. I like the double art.
