The Art Journey: A Soulful Poem

Poetry is an art form. A way of expressing your innermost thoughts.  Expression is key to living a healthy life.  You can't keep stuff bottled up.  Ever see a blown gasket?  Freedom is the key to a positive state of mind. Self expression = freedom.  Here is a soulful poem I wrote over 5 years ago. 


State of Mind

Sadness is a state of mind....an immobilizing emotion....a replay of hurts, complexities, uncomfortable situations....

 

When will it subside and give way to happiness? When will it be replaced by unequivocal joy? Joy/happiness and sadness...they are opposites. 

Opposites that give way to opposites displays of strength, understanding and comfort.  However opposite...the soul inside seems as if it shouldn't be swayed by either...
 

The core of a man...the core of a woman.  Man and woman who have been created by the breath of God...their souls should be anchored to an everlasting ever anchored peace......


Sadness, happiness, joy, peace.  State of Mind.

snap...snap....snap......


I want to hear back from you guys! What is your favorite mode of expression?

The Artistic Journey

Art is in the eye of the beholder....it comes in the form of paintings, culinary arts, wood work, drawings sculptures, architecture, needlework, origami, dance, poetry and photography to name a few.

I dabble in drawing and tried my hand at painting a few years back.  I consider myself a creative being who loves the colors and shapes and textures God put on this earth.

Lately I've gotten into what I call tapestry art....I'm not sure what the technical artsy name is for it...but here are a few of my most recent pieces:

This work of art is called Caleb - one of God's wonderful creations...I'm just the steward. :)

Falling Earth #2

Simple for HIM

Simple for HER

Next? I'm not sure.... I have more ideas for my tapestries and it's also therapeutic...

What are you creative at?  Writing, crafts, cooking? Think about it...find it...do it...excel at it...love it!

More to come!

Peace and blessings!
