literacy and the arts

literacy and the arts are how we grow and heal in a culture and a time period that isolates us and expects highly individualized personalities from us. in order to interact with one another healthfully, we need to process our experiences, and in particular our pain, in many ways individually before we can be our best, healthy selves in the large, complex, imbalanced world we live in today. the better we process our past, the better we can relate and contribute to the future.
