The Pain of Transformation
The snake is a symbol of transformation. Imagine how painful it is to slither out of your skin. Imagine frightening it must be. Does the snake decide it’s time for a change, or does it just begin to happen and the snake just has to go along with it? Think about moments of transformation in your life. Choose a series of distinct colors and try drawing an abstract image moving through the different colors. Get acquainted with what change feels like and then write a poem, song, story or painting about it.
