Pandora opened the box after she had been told not to, and all the troubles of the world flew out. What was left in the box to help her with repair was hope. The I Ching sometimes advises "Work on what has been spoiled". The Jewish tradition has the idea of Tikkun Olam, healing the world, while Buddhism has as a practice constant prayer for the relief of suffering for all living things. We've all been Pandora, so self-forgiveness is another necessary mending job. How do you do repair?

Great post and question? For me, for starters, making some art is therapeutic, as is listening to music and lately, long hikes in the woods. In the meantime, keep up the fine work!!
I love both illustrations, today´s one and yesterday´s one. And I like your words too.
Your words are so thought provoking. First, I really love your style and the picture is just perfect. I really dig the texture. Simply fantastic. Your words are wonderful too. If we fail to forgive ourselves then we leave no real chance for change. Thanks for sharing your beautiful words and illustration.
Susan, I love this one! Love it. Wonderful image, wonderful words.
I just read this yesterday and somehow maybe it fits:
"Do not try to transform yourself. Move into yourself. Move into your unsuccess. Perfection rapes the soul."

ItS a very nice interpretation. :))
Great image and I think repairing for me is walking with the hound or digging in the garden.
Wonderful sentiment - hope being the foundation. I really enjoy your style of illustration.
Every time I open up Pandora's box, chocolate is in order! First the chocolate, then the hope, hee hee!
