         FACILITATING HEALING THROUGH COLLAGE 



          I found a photograph of myself and enlarged it. 

 I kept enlarging it until the child that I was could show me what 

                           was going on. 

  I kept enlarging it until she got the attention that she needed. 

 I surrounded her with the assurance that I knew how fragile she 

                                was. 



                      The photo is circa  1965. 

As she comes larger and larger into view, the spreading pixelation 

             darkens into a black eye on her left side. 

         A shard-like crater spreads across her forehead. 

She is smiling at her offender taking the photograph because that 

                 is how children cope and survive. 



  The sun's warm rays are behind her and all around her and no 

            matter how large the photograph spreads, 

              the rays only get brighter and brighter. 



                   I know how fragile you were 

           Birds and Eggs and Flower Petals and Kittens
