"Creativity is a wonderful thing! It brings together the fullness of the heart, the mind, and the soul. Creativity is a wonderful thing! It speaks to longing and hope, to dreams and possibilities, to a "Future Me." Creativity is a wonderful thing! It cries of the hurts, the pain and the sorrows of the past. It lays bare the wounds that we all share. Creativity allows us to hope! In the anthology "Our Voices, Our Words," three talented artists of the soul share their poetry and their stories with the reader. Although all three have been part of a recovery program in Washington D.C., their words are universal and could have come from any place where people of all kinds live complex lives of struggle and hope for a better future." -Maxine Harris, PhD CEO of Community Connections
