I'm looking forward to completing an exercise like this one on Sunday. My son will be away on a camping trip with a friend for a few days and I have POETRY written all over my calender for those days! 🌻
This is so intriguing, thanks for sharing! I’m studying Transcendental Art Therapy and as I have aphantasia I’m unable to visualise images in my mind. It’s such a mystical experience to melt into the space and explore what insights come from images you’re drawn to or have created. There is so much to be found in that dreamy state of consciousness.
Ooohhh This is different to me. I usually write and then look for an image / create that would speak the same energy… saving this to return to and try it out.
I don’t record the calls where we write and share because they are quite vulnerable for folks, but I will post the poems and prompts in the paid chat group!
PS I looked at your photocompilation it is a wonderful thing, so many things stirred from the images… not Exactly description but more storylike or poetry flow. What an amazing idea, I will let myself be inspired and do one too.
Ahh, ekphrasis- my go to too 🌸
It’s the best!

amazing!!
😁
It was a random sighting, a moment if you will.
Trees and their limbs in winter, after the storm.
Taking in the view, all appeared primal.
Some trees stood tall, some bent, others broken.
One particular area seemed to be in requiem.
Trees that had passed.
Snapped limbs, leafless, lifeless.
You could almost feel Mother Nature grieving.
But then the sight became more, a story or lesson unfolding.
A branch suspended in midair supported by two standing trees.
I got you, friend? Leave no person behind?
A story rooted in caring… pun intended.
In my mind, I envisioned the trees as people.
An accident victim. A fallen soldier in battle.
The good Samaritan coming in relief.
Taking the wounded soul to safety.
The emotion was calm and warm.
My spirit lifted with compassion…
Rise up. Transfer this to our everyday life.
Care, kind-heartedness, empathy towards one another.
Realign priorities.
Be the instigator of a ripple effect.
Change lives. Transform our world.
This is really gorgeous Charlie!
Thank you Alix. This was the first time I've attempted this method. Was fun.
Had trouble attempting to post the picture so you'd be able to see.
Hmm bummer! Sometimes the app is weird with photos I’ve found…

Yes! I know quiet a few people who struggle to see with the mind's eye and I think photographs and art are so vital for planting those images!

Can’t wait to see!
I'd love to come, but that time is when I'm already asleep, is there a replay?
