I write, dance and paint because …
- It’s a relief to get out of my head
- My senses come alive and the world looks, sounds, smells and tastes delicious
- If I don’t, I feel tired and irritable
- It’s what kept me sane as a child and keeps me sane now
- I want to laugh and cry more
- I want to touch into deep time and space
- I want to stay in communion with my Soul
- Life’s bumps become more manageable
- They’re safe ways to give voice to my ‘shadow selves’
- I want to create new neural pathways in my brain
- The seeming boundaries between spirit and matter dissolve
- I love living life in full color
- I want to see through the eyes of Rumi and Mary Oliver
- I want to actualize my potentials
- This is a creative universe and I want to help myself and others find our right place in it
- I’m no longer afraid of looking foolish
- I feel whole when I bring what’s inside outside
- I love remembering that I have wings
