mark-making as a metaphor for life

Hello again. Another message in a bottle from Sandy, in New Zealand.  

Here is a little exercise that you may wish to do to empower yourself by using simple creativity.  (c) Sandy Fabrin 2012
Take a plain piece of paper with nothing on it.
Exercise choice by making a mark on it with a lead pencil.  Consider the fact that this is your mark.  No-one elses.  Make some more marks on the page.  They could be representative of something...or they could be scribble.  Keep your pencil on the page and go where-ever you choose to on the page.  Allow yourself that freedom.  These are your marks and no-one elses.
now take some colour pens or crayons and put colour deliberately where you want to on the page.  Exercise your right to take control of, and responsibility for, your marks.
Feel the power of that.
Put a symbol on the page that indicates that it belongs to you.

This is a metaphor for life.
don't be afraid to make your mark.
It is just as valuable and valid as anyone's.
I hope that you do make your mark and that you don't let anyone stop you.
