Finding the Creative:
What does it mean to be creative?
To offer back a fragment
Of what has been given
To give oneself wholeheartedly
And without reservation
Without hesitation
In the hope of inspiration
In the hope of something
Beyond the ordinary
Beyond the daily grind
To find, to be found
To be lost in the finding
To be still, to be here
To build, to create
New realities
New possibilities
New hope
A new song
One which melody heals
A symphony that proclaims
It all belongs, it all belongs
Death is not the final song

1: What is a Creative Soul? - Why we started Healing my Creative Soul
Welcome to Healing My Creative Soul Podcast, in this brand new pilot episode, Rachel and Mark introduce the overarching themes for the show and dive into some of their own unique faith stories. Rachel talks about the perspective shift motherhood has given her and Mark touches on the ways in which his fundamentalist Christian background was part of the catalyst that caused a severe psychological break, and what the path of healing beyond that looked like. We conclude that the foundation of being on the path to healing is intentionality and building strong community. We invite you as listeners to connect with us and share your own stories with us too.
