Day 38 - Creative Prompt
Washington State MISS Leader, Kara Jones, is a major influence artistically for me. Not only is she incredibly supportive of all my endeavors but she also keeps a blog of art and creativity. Recently, she posted a Creative Prompt to encourage healing. I followed the directions and came up with this:
When my heart broke, I died.
As the darkness closed in, I realized I would most miss the innocence of not knowing.
Walking outside, the air hit my face and I saw nothing but how alone I was.
The air felt like the color grey, so light it almost disappeared.
I wrapped myself in that color and darkness broke open to fire.
Suddenly there was a stream of water flowing by, and when I looked down, there was a gift for me. It was hope wrapped in a blue blanket, his name was Phoenix.
I placed that gift in my heart and felt my body grow with life.
When my heart broke open, I was reborn, just like my Phoenix.
From that came the art that you see above (click to enlarge it). It was really fun to do and wonderful to use my creativity in a way that is healing and fulfilling.
