Breaking Glass, Marsha Rosenzweig Pincus

The process of individuation which one can experience in mid or post mid-life involves the total breakdown of the persona. It cracks and crumbles, no longer able to contain all that is going on in the psyche. And presumably, or so I have read, after the breakdown and fragmentation, one becomes whole.

Breaking My Heart, Julia Lewis

Breaking into the reader’s mind is the beginning of any piece of writing.  It might be as violent as a rock through a window or as subtle as habituation to an alarm clock.  The form of writing that specializes in breaking is poetry.

4-Panel Image Sequence, Elizabeth Catanese

It's about finding a whole and releasing a hole. Breaking happens first.

Emergence, Marsha Rosenzweig Pincus

How do you write about the drama that is occurring in the inner world - the rich and complex landscape of dreams, active imagination and synchroncities?

Brandy Snaps and Battlefields, Clare Mullaney
