111 Day Artistic Spirit Pledge: Spiritual Growth Through Creative Expression
Day 34: A Home Unresided
A place I’ve never lived
Yet a piece of my spirit resides within
Gorgeous gardens, historic estates
Villages absorbed in art and culture
How can it be that I know it well
Despite a lack of presence and vision
Perhaps my home in another time,
It calls to me – Write…Create…Sing
I’m drawn to the lyrical language,
The delectable cuisine, and the artistic beauty
The French countryside exists in the stories I write
And in the musicals that I love.
**I am an Artistic Spirit! For most of my life I’ve used the creative arts as a source of spiritual exploration and healing, even though I didn’t always do so consciously. Sometimes I was the instrument creating the art and other times I was on the receiving end. The connection between art and spirituality is so significant in my life that it’s infused into everything I do. I love music, theatre, television drama series (daytime and primetime), and creative writing and find fulfillment in artistic expression of various sorts: singing, acting, and jewelry design. Throughout the next 77 days, I’ll delve into how all of the above strengthens my spirit and has saved my life on more than one occasion.**
