Consider: Where have you felt most at home? Where do you feel comfortable in an environment?
Use your curiosity and imagination to create a landscape of self.
Where did you come from?
List feelings as fast as you can. Begin with: joy, fullness, confusion, despair, contentment, silliness, seriousness, loneliness, boredom, excitement.
Next, list landscape-related words: mountain, peak, valley, hill, pebble, seaside, waves, twig, leaf, desert cactus, swamp, meadow, fence, garden pond, creek, sky, prairie. Combine feelings with the landscape imagery.
Open with, I come from . . .
You might come from a mountain of silliness, a twig of sarcasm, a tornado of anxiety, prairies of delight.
Add colors, sounds, scents, tastes and textures.
After you have collected imagery, do a free write.
Go in and circle images that mean the most to you. Where will you take them for further
developement?
