“I am so left-brained”. I needed a way to find and engage my imagination. So, I took deep breath and opened the book, The Artist’s Rule by Christine Painter. There was a click in the right-brain and words began to flow while gazing upon images I either created photographically or from the use of public images that appeared before my eyes. God was speaking to me, in reflective silence I was able to arranged the collages and pen words as to how I view the world with God in it.
