Essence of life
dipped in her blood
soil to roots

Sadly her pain was made worse by the breakdown of her marriage to Diego Rivera. Lets hope that wherever she is she can see how well she is thought of still.

Yes, Frida was rooted in pain and grew art from it. This is a beautiful voice for her painting.

Frida has the knack of isolating pain out into the open and she says so!
