Dear Visitor,

It is an honor to welcome you back once again. You are reading the very last article for this year-long project “Creative Self Exploration”. Throughout, I followed my intuition almost solely* in coming up with the exercises each week. What it means is that, I wrote what feels right, what’s wanted to be written, without aiming at specific ends e.g. make you rich, heal your heart, etc. but rather, I left it open ended, trusting whatever wants / needs to happen, will, at your end, and it will be good, timing, process and all. It’s kinda like that anyways after all.

*Why “almost”? Because I don’t think I can be consistently 100% intuition-based while I am still alive as a human in this society. I am not sure if I should even if I could. This is not a statement about humanity at large – that’d be a subject way beyond my grasp.

So, have you tried some of the exercises? If you’ve done them all, do expect a visit from a designated fairy who will crown you with an invisible certificate of completion (you’ll feel it). If you tried a few, or thinking of doing so, or, in fact all of you, please know you have our** warmest welcome to make use of these exercises whenever your mood strikes.
These exercises are designed to make sense wherever you start at.

**’Our’ = me + an army of very well-meaning fairies

As a graduation project, I propose the following.

Make use of these exercises and create something meaningful to you.

Such as:
a hakoniwa like a doll house or re-design your garden as the life-size hakoniwa (Pt1), invitation cards for an imaginary party (Pt2/Wk12), pick one painting/drawing you’ve done and paint it on your tee shirt (Pt3), photocopy your drawings and bind them into a zine (Pt4), write the poem from Wk30 on a large sheet of paper and pin it on your wall as a poster (Pt5), make an actual treasure chest so you can store new treasures onward (Pt6), write your 5 minutes speeches from Wk45 on your trousers like an interesting design (Pt7), combine all the movements into one silent theater (Pt8), what your ears remember most vividly from Wk8, voice it out loud with a melody (Pt7), make a sign that says “What makes you come alive?” (Summer Break), nail it by the front door and write a story from people’s responses, turn your room/residence into a gallery/museum/cafe/venue and so on, and marvel with your bestie (that would be you), or invite your favorite people over so they can join you in marveling at what you have done.

Above are just some examples of Quality Fun you can extract from these exercises, moving forward; Possibilities are utterly limitless. And please do notice, none of them require nothing super fancy, materially. The most/only fancy element required non-negotiably would be YOU.

It is like a Flower, You, as the Mystery,
Petals open endlessly, in Everlasting Sunlight.

Thank you so much for your company,
and Best Wishes for your Continuing Journey.

Admiringly,
Yuko.
