111 Day Artistic Spirit Pledge: Spiritual Growth Through Creative Expression
Day 70: Lady Winter’s Arrival
Whispering through the chilled night air
Winter announces her arrival
Stars fill the evening sky
To greet their beloved matriarch
She’ll cover the earth in fresh, soft snow
And create ideal settings for Valentine’s Day
With a freezing bite, she reminds us all
To wrap up close with those we love and stop to enjoy a nice cup of cocoa
She’ll leave us again in a few months time
And return when Fair Autumn passes the mighty leaf to Lady Winter – changing to a sparkling snowflake.
**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 41 days, I’ll delve into how all of the above strengthens my spirit and has saved my life on more than one occasion.**
