A short salute to the courage of the creators



Finding A Voice


Every now and again the universe sparks someone’s talent and if the right person listens at the right time…well then something unique appears and then….


If we are lucky it leaks out into the light of day and we get the chance to experience it.  There is a music video at the end of the rhyme that might just fit that bill if you have the notion that you want to engage in the listening.  

The artist decided to pick up his guitar and write the song based upon people he heard expressing themselves and describing their lives.  He did this to present his understanding and honor their experiences.  Seeking Peace and Joy is all about engaging in and honoring experiences as they happen.   However first, I must honor my experience of running into a phrase over the weekend and it belongs in a tiny  poetic snippet… This rhyme is a salute to the creative folks out there who step into the glow and share their inspired results.


Like fine wine slightly chilled

With the lamb sweetly grilled

We take in the flavor of the art from the guild

What truths get revealed

As ink will be spilled

Will the hero survive or be betrayed and get killed?

Scenes acted once drilled

Strings strummed plucked and trilled 

Break through the facades

So hearts become filled

So stand and applaud

Throw the artists a bone

They’re inspired by you

Yet mostly work all alone

How they touch your soul?

You may rarely know

But step into the chasm—tap into the glow

Lay waste to your fears and you may begin

Seeing arts everywhere and become the artist within


Here’s that beautiful effort  in a music video…breathe it in and live.
