Dragons in Our Marrow

"Dragons in Our Marrow" is a drawing reflecting on human nature. The dragon is both beautiful and terrible, choosing to stay hidden most of the time. The reflection in the center of the dragonÕs eye is of a girl looking in the mirror and seeing her inner dragons for the first time in a long time. The dragon is angry at being found, which is evidenced in its fiery, blazing eyes. Just like the dragonÕs fire, actions and words can be beautiful and a light for others. However, they can grow out of control, destroying everything they touch. The gold can be used for good or ill, like talents or thoughts, something to share or to hoard. Most people may choose to hoard and guard their deeper selves with zeal in a dark place where most wonÕt find them. There are dragons in our marrow. You just have to look deeper to find them. ÒWho can strip off his outer covering? Who can penetrate his double layer of armor? Who can open his jaws, surrounded by those terrifying teeth? His breath sets coals ablaze, and flames pour out of his mouth.Ó Job 41:13, 14, and 21
