epileptic boy; meditation and drawing

Ink pen and  ink wash on mountboard.

In secure unit for young people with mental ill-health a young woman told me how she liked the passage about the healing of the epipleptic boy as it is narrted in the 3 synoptic gospels. I asked her to visualise the sene, asking her questions as we went along, quickly drawing the image on a large piece of paper, so it began to come to life for her. She coloured it in sing oil pastels. At the end of the session she took the large image away with her.
When I arrived home I drew it with the same haste as I had done with her, so this is a pretty accurate  representation of what we had worked on together.
