We need to create tools to help us cope with life in completely new ways. We often hear of art feeding from someone's life experience, but we can also begin to use our artistic explorations to create a new life for ourselves, use it to open our minds to possibilities we had not seen before, and test them in the safety of an art expression. If the experience makes us happy, then it is time to take that smallest step one week at a time, until we see the fruits of our creativity take root in our lives.
Is it time to dust off our old box of crayons?
