I think because art and creating is what I do to heal, hennaing andpainting are the things I turned to naturally to keep me grounded and
to find peace within. And that has nothing to do with whether anyone
in the world thinks it is appropriate or not. It is my process.
When I do this, there are other things that I ordinarily find fun
that I find no joy in...because I need something healing and
therapeutic.
Henna plays real different roles in people's lives. And I think that
that has to be alright. If it is something that brings you absolute
joy...it may not be what you will do when you are despondent.
Singing and dancing bring me joy (though I can not do either well).
When I am feeling up, I have my music on and sing and dance around
the house as I am cleaning up and getting dressed in the morning. I
put the music on for my son's birthday party Sept 21, it was the
first time I had turned the music on since the tragedies...and then
it was jazz because that is what the mood called for. I will be glad
for the day that I get up singing and dancing again.
I will be glad when you all can find the joy in your henna again. It
is there in the henna waiting for you.
