During the Heal Scotland Festival, I found a beautiful space for self-discovery in an art workshop called Art Alchemy. Guided by emotion and the energy of the moment, I painted spring and wrote a poem to match its bloom. Both became reflections of how I feel inside—and I’m delighted to share them with you here.

Spring

The pale groom wandered
Away the house of solitude
Lightness awoke a grounded
Yellow song of crude
Warmth
