Healing

This week’s creative prompt is Healing. We have all felt pain at certain times in our lives — sometimes physical, sometimes emotional. Create art that celebrates your own personal stories of healing. Be inspired by medicine, nature, faith, or whatever may have helped you during your journey to healing.

peace+joy,

Quotes about… Healing

The greatest healing therapy is friendship and love. Hubert H. Humphrey

Healing takes courage, and we all have courage, even if we have to dig a little to find it. Tori Amos

Healing may not be so much about getting better, as about letting go of everything that isn’t you - all of the expectations, all of the beliefs - and becoming who you are. Rachel Naomi Remen

There is something beautiful about all scars of whatever nature. A scar means the hurt is over, the wound is closed and healed, done with. Harry Crews
