\"finding<\/a>Don’t walk in front of me, I may not follow.
\nDon’t walk behind me, I may not lead.
\nJust walk beside me and be my friend.<\/em><\/p>\n

– Albert Camus<\/p>\n

The more often we share our inner journeys with others, the more we find a commonality in\u00a0what it is to be human. We at Healing Icons<\/a> are continually amazed at how the creative process forges deep bonds<\/strong> with others as well as within ourselves.<\/p>\n

At our last class<\/a>, we created a series of collages and wax-resist watercolor paintings. When we finished, we took a step back to examine what we\u2019d birthed and ask questions of it: What colors and shapes were used?\u00a0 What emotions did we associate with these choices?\u00a0What type of mood or atmosphere was portrayed?\u00a0 Did a sense of place come to mind? We wrote down our answers and placed key words into a vertical list. Then we wrote down four or five immediate associations we had with all of the words. After circling eight or so of the words that held the most interest or curiosity for the creator of the piece, we linked those words with other parts of speech to form a wandering thought, reflective paragraph or inspired poem. Here are a couple of our participants\u2019 creative insights<\/strong> below.<\/p>\n
