to fight is to stand
(water color on paper - 8 x 8 in.)
based on a song by Tina Colón, with lyrics by Alysia Harris, which were written about a photograph by Marilyn de Guehery [ ECV Artist Circle]
*sorry about the bad lighting/color (will post a new picture soon)
"No matter what you take by force,
you'll never change who I am,
woman by birth, warrior by choice,
I am not a helpless lamb.
I know enough to know
things don't always go
the way you've planned,
but even in the hardest times,
sometimes all you can do to fight
is stand."
-Alysia Harris
