HEALING ADVENTURES
Always a creative
journey
From the New Yorker
Magazine

It's the poet Ted
Hughes who was once asked in an interview if poetry is something
that gives hope. He replied: "For myself, I formulated
the notion that art is in general a psychological component
of the immune system. As the body tries to heal itself from
any stress or shock or infection, the corresponding harmonic,
in consciousness, is art. So our constant struggle to pull
ourselves together and to deal with difficulty and injury
and illness and with threats and fears, manifests itself -
at a psychological level - as art. We may not think at the
moment that it's the most valuable thing we do, but of any
past civilization it's the one thing we want to preserve,
because it still operates for us as medicine."
