August Meeting

Participants were asked to write a paragraph or poem about their feelings and emotions in the creativity recovery process.  Once they finished writing it each one read it and the other members wrote down phrases and words which resounded in them. Next step they re-wrote their first writing adding the parts they had written down. Here’s one of the member’s activities:

1st task: “I sighed deeply, not to cry

                 and  what could happen

                  if I tried?         

                  Is crying  the path? To take out longings of the past

                 Lost dreams and lost loves?

                And if I dared a little more

                making a change just to start

                and opened my mouth with a big smile?”

 2nd task: “I sighed deeply, not to cry

                       the feeling of age

                       gave pain to my heart.

                      There are things I should’ve learnt in life

                      if I want to conquer my soul

                     I have to leave behind the burdens I don’t like

                    Now I can realize lost dreams and lost loves

                    made me wiser and opened my heart.

                  Now there’s a big smile in my mouth every day when I wake up”.
