Iris

Photo taken by contributor Annie, a woman who lives with depression, PTSD, anxiety and dissociation. Annie has survived a suicide attempt. Art, music, reading, writing, yoga, meditation and walking help when weather permits. Her feline companion Rumi is her best friend.

About this photo: “Winters are worth living through when my eyes see the Iris in bloom. I get lost in their beauty. How each petal overlays another. Nature: the interplay of the simple and complex.

She spoke to me in yellow and I awoke from sleep.”
