Nine Images for Writing as Healing

Writing as a clean well-lighted place. A cafe that is always open.

Writing as a pumpkin–that sense of possibility.

Writing as a broom–sweeping out the guest house that is the self.

Writing as a map to a healing quest.

Writing as a pensieve–a container in which to spot patterns and links.

Writing as a small beautiful boat–a vehicle for a healing quest.

Writing as a way to remember the sky.

Writing as a Refuge.

Writing as an unwinding ball of string.
