Art is God's Voice

Pay attention to poetry.

Pay attention to music.

Pay attention to paintings and sculptures and photo exhibits and ballets and plays.

Why?

Because art is God's way of saying hello. Your world is shouting out to you, revealing something intrinsically glorious about itself.

Listen carefully.

Love art, the way art loves life.

Don't let all this go unnoticed. _Neale Donald Walsh_

I like to check my two FaceBook pages every morning. Often I see some gems  to  enjoy. Every now and again, I find something that makes me sit up and pay attention. Some things rise above the usually mundane. Today is one of those days. I found the quote above, posted by Neale Donald Walsh. I really love this post today!

You know, it is in the ARTS that we can LEARN what is really going on in our world.  

The evening news does not have a clue as to what is really going on. It is through the ARTS that we learn about our world. The arts give us insights into the future as well as understanding of the present. The only things is, you have to be willing to STOP and take a LOOK. Stop and LISTEN. STOP.  


The ARTS make us THINK and thinking takes TIME. The ARTS stop us in our TRACKS.

I have often heard from a philosopher friend that when he wants to know what is going on, he looks to ART to give him the SCOOP. The inside information. It is hidden. Art REVEALS. Through ART we can actually SEE OUR SELF.

Neale Donald Walsh has it right.

“Art is the WORLD saying HELLO to you!  ART is God’s way of speaking to you. Say HELLO to GOD. Go look at some art. Go listen to a musical performance. Go.  Let God have a WORD with you soon.” _Lynda Lambert_

Here she comes!

"I am standing on the seashore. A ship spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the ocean. I stand watching her until she fades on the horizon, and someone at my side says, "She is gone." Gone where? The loss of sight is in me, not in her. Just at the moment when someone says, "She is gone," there are others who are watching her coming. Other voices take up the glad shout, "Here she comes." --Henry Scott Holland.

I found this today on a website. It stopped me in my tracks.

This quote evokes a memory for me. It is a dreamscape. I see it with my eyes closed.

I have always made art. I cannot remember not creating. My work is often referred to as a "dreamscape." These days, thought I cannot make paintings and woodcut prints any longer, I am still creating. How does a person every stop creating. I can't imagine that.

Recently, I began to focus on creating with clay. Pottery. It, too, springs forth from that place inside my soul where all my works have emerged from my whole career. It is like going on a voyage, deep within myself. It is the "unseen" that I have always held in my mind's eye as I worked. I still do. Now, it is done with clay.

I understand the journey much better now that I cannot see. Things I do not see here, are seen another place. I cannot see from this direction, but from another viewing point, I see perfectly well. It is an exciting journey, Inner Vision.
