When I first laid eyes on “Exsomnis” by Tomasz Rut, I was rooted (sorry for the pun) to the spot. It was one of the featured art for auction on a cruise that I took in 2012.
I was really simply there to view what was going to be auctioned that day, but I found myself in front of “Exsomnis” several times.
It pulled on my heartstrings like you wouldn’t believe. It touched me to the very core of my being. It shined a beacon on what was missing in my heart… in my life… It left me both devastated and breathless at the same time.
At the last minute, I made the bid for it, and luckily, I was the only bidder.
“Exsomnis,” which means “Sleepless” in Latin, hangs over my bed, so I get to see it every single day, with hopes of one day finding and connecting with that one man, the Imzadi, with whom I can share such passion with.
This is my Happy for Day 11… “Exsomnis.”

Thank you. I think so too. Even after the auction, I visited it at the gallery store on the ship until the day of disembarkment.
