WHAT DOES ART HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING?

WHAT DOES ART HAVE TO DO WITH

ANYTHING?

I want to tell you that the creative process will be healing for you, in

and of itself. But I’m a terrible liar.

I can’t bring up the creative process without being honest about my own

path. The arts, or any artistic practices, were hard for me in the early days

of

grief. I resented words and writing for a really long time. I resented any

creative

process for a really long time. Even as I needed them.
