Week 2: Rosa makes some changes to HER sun. She leaves her mark on the mural and the Miriam.
Patricia began to paint the buildings. She wanted the buildings to have individual character. She is already planning how to make them "come to life".
Deborah painted the entire tree of life after a little hesitation. At first, she didn't even think she would come into the room. Then she swore she couldn't paint. Next thing we all knew the tree of life had grown into existence.
The Supervisor! Corinne has yet to paint, but her presence is irreplaceable. Corinne advises us on which paint colors to use, spots we missed, and lively conversations. When there is a good song on the radio, she stops us so we notice the lyrics that really hit home.
Recently, there have been times of crisis in the building and the mural has proven to be a point of unification. The group has been able to focus attention and energy to the mural, to take a break from the stress and trauma in other areas of life. Symbols are starting to take shape. The stepping stones are beginning to lead to a path of happiness. End of week 2.
