The Pillow Drawing

The Pillow Drawing

Glowing spirit wolf

Relaxed, half-formed guardian

Brilliant blue beast

          That above haiku was what I got when I described the drawing of that pillow. When we were looking at that drawing, I noticed the wrinkles before I noticed what they were on. What I saw in those wrinkles looked like a wolf-like creature. It looked like it was there, but at the same time not, kind of like it was some kind of spirit. Knowing that wolfs were domesticated to protect children while adults were away- one reason why domestic dogs exist today- I decided to make the wolf-spirit-thing into a guardian.
