I had started this drawing with a different theme, alien species to be exact.  Then just as it title suggest it took on a life of it own and entered my realm.  Chronic pain suffers know this routine very well, we didn't plan for it, or on it, and yet it can become an interegal part of our lives, constantly demanding it own way, and if we let it it's own day, week, month.  We try not to, but we will pick our battles, and then by the grace of God we will win the war.
