111 Day Artistic Spirit Pledge: Spiritual Growth Through Creative Expression
Day 98: A Writer’s Dance
I must write
I must, must, must
Yet what will be the result?
Will the words make sense
Once assembled, or
Will they jumble together
In a haphazard mess?
My fingertips kiss the keys
Waiting for brilliance to send them into action
They ache for movement,
To dance across the letters
With a tap, tap, tap
The writing reflects the writer
Creating a draft strong enough
to open doors and windows.
**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 13 days, I’ll delve into how all of the above strengthens my spirit and has saved my life on more than one occasion.**
