....hmmmmm... is there any kind of item or object from nature that is commonly known to represent hope? Like a certain flower, tree, gemstone, bird, etc.; maybe from mythology or fairy tales? (Ooops, tee hee, I didn't even mean to make a funny by appearing to link hope to fairy tales!) Anyway, you get the idea.
Or something bittersweet, like the line we walk between pain and hope? What's an herb known to be bittersweet? Or how about a vine-covered gate, like the gate to a peaceful and healing garden?
Or are we wanting there to be an identifiable association with meds, therapy, that kind of thing? If so, how about either that mug-and-crusher thing that pharmacists (of oldde, possibly) used to mix concoctions? That could represent not only meds, but the mixing and creating of solutions of all kinds, and even the mixing of people here!
Or -- how about a tiny psychiatrist's couch?? (Hey, if there's room on the couch, put a green dot for the Prozac on it, or a box of Kleenex, or a Band-Aide... we all know there are no *cures,* after all...)
How about a combination of the symbolic and the technical, like a candle -- representing light being shed, but the candle could be green and white like a Prozac?
This is fun! Hope I can control myself from posting weird ideas all weekend! :- D
