So this is the main page home that links to my artistic expressions that I wish to share; for visual art, music, perhaps poetry, stories, videos, and who knows what else might end up here. I will be adding my artistic expressions here as I go. This page begins with my musings on the subject of art…
(Click on these links if you'd like to skip straight to the music, drawings, photography…)
Art from the depths of our hearts and souls, or from the divine inspiration of our spirit, is the beauty of humanity at its finest. Allowing space in our lives for creative expression is vital for the freedom of our souls, and being immersed in creativity nourishes our souls and allows growth and the flourishing of our truest being. We are all artists, we all have the ability to express ourselves creatively if we give ourselves the space for it. And we can even bring art into all that we do and live our lives as art, creating more beauty in every moment.
It is important that creative expression is always for yourself first, and sometimes, it is only for yourself; it is important to give yourself the space to express all that you need to, and it's not always something you want to share and that's ok. But I also believe it's sometimes important to share the beauty of your creativity. It's for you to choose what you share, but share what you choose, and never hold back from sharing for the wrong reasons, like being afraid that somehow your offering is not good enough. Judgements are not about the true value of creativity. The deepest value of creativity is access to the realms of the heart, soul and spirit; your own, and, if you share, those of others too.
Sharing the creative expression of your heart, soul and spirit can be so healing, for yourself, and for others as well. It can bring warmth, joy, love and peace; it can allow us to feel so many things and give space for expression of these feelings - sadness, happiness, fear, courage, anger, despair, confusion, clarity, hope, awe... and it can bring inspiration, new ideas and new ways of looking at the world. Sharing adds to the value for everybody. You just never know when you might touch a soul by sharing your creativity, and there's no point not giving the chance for that beautiful spark of connection to happen… Sometimes it takes courage to share, but I know every time I find that courage to share, it's always worth it; sometimes only for the moment for myself, and then on those beautiful occasions where someone else is touched, for that connection to grow.
I have had my soul touched by the creativity of others, shared from the depths of their hearts, souls and spirits, on so many occasions. It has been such an amazing experience every time, creating such beautiful feelings in my heart, stirring my soul and enlightening my spirit, that I can't do it justice in words. And I have had the joy of knowing on some occasions that I have shared, that others have enjoyed my humble offerings, despite, or perhaps because of, their imperfections. So I hope you might possibly perhaps enjoy some of my offerings too… And perhaps in some cases feel encouraged by their imperfect natures, to share your own perfectly imperfect creative beauty. :-)
