Now you have had a break, go back to every question and look at your response. Try and find what you feel that your mind presented the image it did. Explain colours you chose, textures, water, cup, solids, liquids, space, objects, people, anything and everything that you wrote from your projected image, try and find what you feel to why you have that image. Don't look hard at things, instead try and look for the easy answers, as they are often the correct one's. Don't attempt to find something that isn't present, just look at each aspect for its absolute simplicity.
This is not an absolute, but something you must do in order to try and self analyse yourself. This is important. Please answer what you can, and simply define if you cannot find an emotion to a response you gave.
i think the reason the rocks are big and stacked is because it is a road that is to be walked very carefully. one wrong step could put me out of the game for a while. also, going too fast on a road that rocky could hurt me more as well. the steps also require a lot of balance...moving forward requires balance and confidence in each step. the colors are drab and foggy. this i think symbolizes the tight rein i keep on my emotions, trying to control my environment. it is better if it is all one color. easier to deal with. the rocks are stacked because of the many layers to this pain.
i think the reason i swim is because i have learned that i have to do things myself. it is hard to ask for help. for anything. i don't have the luxury to need anything. the water is freezing but i don't even notice it because i just do what i have to do. the water is brownish green and murky because it is a dull sort of river, not a gloriously clear and beautiful one. i think this is my own frustration with how LONG an OLD this journey has become. it is an unnoticed and uncelebrated river.
the house is beautiful and modest. it is brand new and very out of place in this setting. there is a woman, very maternal looking standing in the door. i think this is symbolic of my desperate desire for a mother figure...a perfect one.
the cup is old and dirty looking. with a crack that has discolored over time. it is empty. this i think symbolizes how long i have searched for peace and a place to belong. it is my hope. what is left of it.
the obstacle is a huge brick wall that goes very high. the bricks are whitewashed and have moss stuck b/w them. it has a cement ledge at the top. i can't see anything beyond it. this i think symbolizes where i am right now. it is denial. and all it is allowing me to see is what is behind me.
whoa. i can't believe that. seriously. dude.
