What a pleasure it was to facilitate the Healing Words workshop on Saturday. Thank you to those who came and made it the day it was. I am always amazed at what seemingly simple exercises can unearth – for me, as well as those who are working with me. In a safe, contained space, creative writing is so permission giving.

I wrote:
Today
(I know I am a scrappy sparrow)
yet I feel like an eagle soaring
with that clarity of view
seeing the countryside below me
seeing the weather coming.

During some more writing looking at what I like, I realised (again) that my impulse to write has little to do with publication – and yet I hanker after it. Interesting.

Next Healing Words workshop, March 29^th: Finding the story, using fairy tales to explore our own and others’ stories. Contact: mail@scpti.co.uk
