Question for the entire group

July 30, 2003

Hello all. Last week I went to the Pain clinic in Portland and although nothing

has changed for me, they did give me a great idea that I would like to pass

along to the group. They suggested that I put out to the group the concept of

" drawing pain " . For example, maybe an abstract drawing or painting, or maybe a

literal painting of say a monster eating there stomach. That is just a few of

the ideas and I am sure that everyone has many better ideas than what I just

stated. If anyone would be interested in doing some drawings or paintings. I

will make a section on the top5plus5 website and give you your own page for your

drawings or paintings. You can email me your drawings or paintings after being

scanned or you can send them to me and I can scan them. It would be up to you.

Also there is tons of room still on the site, if anyone wants to add their story

to the top5plus5 website. Anyway, thought I would throw that out there. I

thought it was an interesting idea. It would give the person drawing or

painting the picture some type of outlet for their pain and maybe it would help

others understand.

I hope this finds you and yours well
