The
Healing Muse Posted
Mar-9-2006
A Journal of Literary and Visual
Arts with a Focus on Medicine, Illness, Disability, and
Healing
I know a number of individuals who have expressed
how much healing they have found through their art, writing,
and other expressions of creativity. This is one reason
why art therapy is such a huge deal in the mental health
field. For some, it provides an expressive outlet they've
never had before that literally brings on positive transformation
in their health.
I am always interested in learning more about creative healing
and recently came across The Healing Muse journal
published by SUNY Upstate Medical University's Center for Bioethics & Humanities. Their
Web site offers sample writings from previous issues and welcomes
submissions of "fiction, poetry, narratives, essays, memoirs
and visual art, particularly but not exclusively focusing on
themes of medicine, illness, disability and healing."
What a welcoming platform to share personal writings and art
to help inspire others, perhaps even towards those seeking
a single ray of hope to healing themselves. • |

Swimming
with a Surrealist: Artist Maggie Taylor
Posted

Surprising Beauty and Emotional Impact
I just read an engaging article by Amy Standen in The
Big Picture print magazine titled "Going for a
Twilight Swim: A step-by-step peek into artist Maggie Taylor's
strange universe" (March
2006). The article focused on the 'capture and output' of Maggie
Taylor's art, and did much to make me ponder over the age-old
debate: "What
is art?" ... |

Who are Calliope, Clio, Erato, Euterpe, Melpomene, Terpsichore,
Thalia, Polyhymnia, and Urania? The original nine greek muses,
of course! And if you’d
like to learn more about each of the nine Athenian Muses, you
can consult ancient Greek mythology literature to fill you
in on the details.
However, if you’d like to
explore the variety of ways in which you can invoke each of
the muses in your own expressions of creativity today, you
can’t miss the developing “Nine
Athenian Muses” article series
by Molly Anderson-Childers going on right now at the Creativity
Portal. Hey, maybe you can even invite a muse or two over for
tea! Tearato, Euteape, Tearpsichore... •
Hmmm... Maybe they won't be so aMused if
I mess with their names like that. I should Athaliagize now. |

I Don't
Want to be Your Guru, But I Have Something to Say (A Conversation
with Old Bill) Posted
Mar-1-2006
The layers of symbolism I personally
found in the book's title, its back-story, and frontal message
is truly relevant to my journey. When Joyce invited me to
read her book, which is categorized on LuLu.com as "New
Age & Alternative: New Thought",
my curiosity led me to read the 54-page book from cover to
cover in one afternoon (with a short nap in between). ... |
