The path of creativity is a varied and ongoing one. Sometimes we stick to what we know and explore it further, and sometimes we branch out to new and exciting media in which to express ourselves.
The following pages contain reader submissions using creativity to explore reactions to universal occurrences. The main driving force behind their creation is a desire to understand, manage and move on, coupled with a need to share these experiences and feelings with other people. Intensely personal to their authors, they hold up a window, allowing a privileged glimpse into their inner worlds.
Whether they strike a chord with you, enlighten you to a common struggle, or help you to understand someone else; they will, in some way, change you and affect you.
Take your time over them. Give them the respect and recognition they deserve.
In the words of William Yeats:
‘tread softly
because you tread on my dreams’.
