Norma sits cross-legged against a black background, wearing a red shirt and black pants. With her wavy hair framing her face, she looks down as she draws a small star in an open sketchbook resting on her lap.

The First Expression

I give form to what I cannot yet explain.

Insight

I am learning that creativity does not require complete understanding before I begin. What first arrived as a quiet possibility and then awakened within me now seeks expression. As I give it form, I begin to discover what it might become. Sometimes the act of creating reveals what I could not have known beforehand.

Reflection

What might I discover if I allow myself to create before I fully understand what is emerging?
