This is such a beautiful read! Thank you so much for sharing your words! Getting lost in making arts, whether it is writing, crafting, painting or cooking is the most wonderful and soothing process for me. And now am thinking I can't even say "making arts" as the arts make me and let me come alive. Thank you for reminding me. 🙏❤️
Thank you so much for reading and responding. I will say the same for poetry for me with getting lost into the portal of presence. I agree- we are the art. Bless you.
Thanks for your poem, these are gifts rather than possessions, and from your Rilke quote. sometimes a burden. You drew my attention a little while ago to Whitman, and I am glad you have reminded me that I have not read enough Rilke We are prvileged to live again the gifts from another, a face, a recognition. I had been vague about his life but read when I looked him up of his developing work in that period approaching the unimaginable discontinuity in modern European culture. WH Auden tried to pick up the threads in the interwar years. We owe the poets much for our language, for what is in our minds, the artists for what we can see, 'the piano' for what we can hear. It was always so. The spring comes fresh from the hill, begins the journey to the sea.
Thanks so much Philip. Rilke in my eyes just got there first on so many levels.
“We owe the poets much for our language, for what is in our minds, the artists for what we can see, 'the piano' for what we can hear. It was always so. The spring comes fresh from the hill, begins the journey to the sea.”- beautifully said! That is a poem. Thank you.
We are born in a river yet search for the sea. Definitely a journey home. Bless you.
Eloquent! Thank you for sharing. So glad I discovered this feed. I am reminded of the OnBeing Podcast with Krista Tippet. I think I have listened to her interview Rick Rubin when his book came out also about the creative process. Feeling the vibe and appreciate your efforts to add clarity to chaos.
Thank you so much! Its truly a journey of heArt and soul! Pretty soon there will be enough of us sparking to start a pretty damn good creative fire. Bless you. 🙏❤️

Art does indeed crack us open! Beautifully expressed thank you for sharing Jamie. I recently read Rick Rubin’s book and loved it. I wrote about creativity and authenticity a few days ago and feel you’d enjoy it: https://open.substack.com/pub/soulwisdom/p/updated-con-el-sagrado?r=a9uns&utm_medium=ios&utm_campaign=post

Thanks so much Bailey for reading, and for reaching out 🙏❤️ I love that interview
You are a true artist - allowing your expression to flow through you and to the paper (or digital document) for others to experience.
We all have this power, but only a special few possess the discipline to create and curate their ideas in a way so that others can enjoy.
Excited to follow your journey
