When did you begin?

Rather than thinking about the stopping, focus on the beginnings of joy and wonder.

Respond to the following:

Recall when you first learned how to dance and sing. Describe it with all your senses.

Who told you stories?  Write a scene with you and the storyteller.

How did you respond to the silence?  Did you discover its comfort?

Write the ways you overcome despondency.
