Creative Ways To Cope

 




"I hovered overhead just below the ceiling.
I held my breath and watched."
Alice Jamieson

The comfort found within the church offered me a sense of safety.  Escaping into the stained glass windows, entering into the flicker of the candle flame or inhaling the aroma of incense, provided me with relief.  Then, I was beckoned to move on.

To be in the midst of trees or wading in water restored my soul to normalcy.   It offered a reprieve from worldly things I could not understand nor control.  In time, writing in a journal offered immediate departure and an outlet for my troubled soul.

Spirit, Nature, and Creativity propelled me forward to trusting other realms.  Instead of hovering just below the ceiling, I was able to fly up into the sky, watching and waiting for the trauma to end.   These experiences offered an awareness of other worldly entities and creative ways to cope.
