Right Mind:
I am the right brain. I am creativity. A free spirit. I am passion. Yearning. Sensuality, I am the sound of roaring laughter. I am taste. The feeling of sand beneath bare feet.
I am movement. Vivid colors. I am the urge to paint on an empty canvas. I am boundless imagination. Art. Poetry. I sense. I feel.
