Spirit Whispers


One way that I listen is through creating a collage.
Saving meaningful pictures from magazines, including words I see.
Then when the time comes to struggle through a particular issue,
celebrate a new year, set goals, or tell a story; I take all the
pictures and words I have been collecting.
Sorting through the pictures, cutting,
and pasting with a particular goal in mind
opens windows and thoughts I hadn't realized were there.
Some people add their own personal touches with ink, crayons,
or paints to make an art journal.

I am very visual and seeing this creation in front of me
definitely speaks to me in whispers and sometimes load shouts.
Do you use art to help you see more clearly?
