"An artist friend of ours stumbled onto a creative process when she simply started pouring paint onto a canvas. It was during a very painful time in her life; one that she had no words to describe or way to get in touch with. So one day, she bought some clearance paint at a store, brought it home and just started pouring colors together. As the cool and bright tones combined and swirled, undirected but somehow purposeful, she stood over top and studied what emerged. Deborah began to see images, shapes, and words come to the surface and surrendered to them, adding her own flourishes."
"The result was not only an extraordinary and beautiful work of art, but emotional healing from this therapeutic process. She described the impact of what happened when she gave herself to this new way: 'An alternative universe began to emerge. I became a reverent but wounded observer, detached but willing to see a new design—still providential but unintended.'" (From Chapter 2 of Starting Something New: Spiritual Direction for Your God-Given Dream)
