“Things Fall Apart” – 5″ x 7″ Unmatted Linocut Greeting Card

This quote from Pema Chödrön’s When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice for Difficult Times has become a daily mantra of sorts, a constant reminder that things can’t always be good, but we can be. I’ve been using this mantra as a way to relinquish myself of the burden of expectation, but I encourage you to use it however it makes sense for you.

“Things Fall Apart” was hand-drawn, carved, inked, and printed onto unbleached Mulberry paper using Golden Ochre light-fast vegetable-oil based ink. This print measures 5″ x 7″ unmatted.

Please Note: All orders are dispatched within 1-3 working days, protected in a cellophane sleeve, and posted in a board-backed envelope. If you intend your purchase to be a gift and would like it to arrive shrouded in gift wrap and dried flowers and poetry, just say the word! Gift-giving is one of my primary love-languages, so it warms my heart to help facilitate that process for others.

Fun Fact: This print was inspired by Pema Chödrön’s book When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice for Difficult Times. After hearing Krista Tippet and Devendra Banhart discuss the book on the On Being podcast, I knew I had to read it. It’s a book I now visit daily, and I hope you’ll check it out. Read one of my favorite takeaways from the book below:

Things falling apart is a kind of testing and also a kind of healing. We think that the point is to pass the test or to overcome the problem, but the truth is that things don’t really get solved. They come together and they fall apart. Then they come together again and fall apart again. It’s just like that. The healing comes from letting there be room for all of this to happen: room for grief, for relief, for misery, for joy.
