I love this poem by yung pueblo:

The goal is not to heal / and then begin your life. / the goal is to embrace healing / as a lifelong journey and allow / genuine connections to emerge organically / along the way.

This picture is something that matters to me

Photography has been my outlet for creative self-expression since I was a young teen, so helping people use art-making in a therapeutic way is profoundly meaningful to me. This image is from a support group I led for mothers struggling with identity issues – my visual response to the exchange of insights and wisdom shared among members. It represents the widening perspective that self-exploration can facilitate and the vast potential for growth that comes with greater self-awareness.
