Creative Expressions
Giving Voice To Your Soul
I didn't understand how art and other creative pathways could help with my spiritual development. While paying for my art supplies, the cashier asked if I was an art student. When I replied that it was all for a psychology course, she looked at me weirdly, to which I responded, "Yeah, I agree!" Since that day, I've discovered much.
While the movement towards Spirit is a journey of ascent, the movement towards Self expression is just the opposite. It is one of descent … one that deepens (through meditation.) It is a journey into the very depths of who you are. Creative expressions allow your authentic Self to shine through the facade of ego. These are my creative pieces.

Poetic Expressions
-------------Embracing Love’s Path----------- How does anyone unravel love’s mystery? Words falter, actions show what hearts can’t see. Within my heart, a storm brews untamed, Struggling to express what cannot be named. Is it real, this surge I feel? Will it stay, or fade away? Three simple words that hold the key, To reshape my world…set my soul free. But how do I know if it’s truth or lies, When love’s path is fraught with many surprise? Am I tangled in a web of passion’s flight, Or bound in a love that feels so right? Do I hold tight, or let it fly? Do I give in to the lust in your eyes? Questions haunt my sleep at night, And linger still with morning light. Perhaps the answer lies in letting go, Embracing uncertainty, letting love flow. Surrendering to what will be, Finding peace … Setting hearts free.
-I Am- the earth, the sky and everything in between. I am a bird, a tree, a drop of dew on a fallen leaf. I am the leaf! I am a dancing cat in an oak tree watching a sunflower as beautiful as Cinderella I am a summer breeze sitting on Mother Earth strumming my guitar and smelling the sweet fragrance of a flower that’s soft and lovely! I am this…right here …right now, and... I am also THAT…I AM
----------In This Moment-------- In the tender dawn of knowing, you speak of love, hearts gently flowing. A spark ignites a flame, so bright, yet no demands of endless nights. Your words, they bloom like morning sun. A soul so pure, a heart undone. I cherish all you give and say, without the weight of future’s sway. In this moment, we are free, to feel, to be...just you and me. No chains of “forever,” no binding vow. Just love that lives in the here and now. So let us dance in presence’s grace, a gentle waltz, a sweet embrace. For love, true love, needs room to grow. In time, we’ll see where hearts may go. They come together or drift apart. Each step a dance in life’s own chart.
---To My True Love… Whoever You May Be-- I want to see both sunrise and sunset reflected in your eyes, and in your arms. To share all of me with you— mind, body, and soul. To be your friend, your confidant, and, yes…your lover. Together, I want to build a love that overcomes every obstacle, yet allows us to keep our independence. I cherish the idea of us growing side by side, while honoring who we are as individuals. I want to explore the world with you, finding joy in both the grand adventures and the quiet, simple moments. And I want to explore you, because you are your own world. When life presents its challenges, I want our love to be a safe harbor, a place where we find both refuge and strength. I am ready to love you deeply. I will love you unconditionally. I dream of a bond rooted in mutual respect, understanding, and endless support. Yes, I want a lot— and I hope you want the same. Let’s create a future where we both thrive, where we are each other’s rock and yet free to chase our dreams. Can you hear me? Can you feel me? Are you there, my love?
---The Dreamed Sanctuary--- There’s a place I yearn to see, A haven of tranquility. It may be distant, far, or near, Yet how to reach it, isn’t clear. In this realm where I can’t stay, Peace and calm forever sway. The waters pure, the air so clean, Where nature’s wonders softly gleam. The trees, like verses, softly speak, Snow-capped tops where mountains peak. Eternal spring, with grasses sweet, A paradise where dreams retreat. A vision grand, a sight so true, A perfect place that I pursue. Yet though it’s real within my mind, It’s just a picture, I left behind.
--It's All Energy-- And so it goes....on and on, Energy flows, never gone. Our bodies are but this moment in time, A vehicle used for a grand design. And if we're open, we realize, A beautiful discovery...a sweet surprise. We are the energy, and "we" are ONE! Forever flowing....never done!
Many are under a flawed perception of what true yoga is. Here are the facts.. -----------------The Essence of Yoga-------------- Yoga is hindering of modifications of the thinking principle. Yoga is the suppression of functions of the thinking principle. Yoga is the restriction of the fluctuations of the mind-stuff. Yoga is the shutdown of the processes of the mental capacity. Yoga is the cessation of the turning of thoughts. Yoga is the stilling of the modifications of the mind. Disciplined meditation involves the cessation of the functioning of ordinary awareness. We become whole by stopping how the mind turns. Yoga is the cessation of the movements of consciousness. Yoga is the ability to direct the mind exclusively toward an object and sustain that direction without any distractions. Yoga is to still the patterings of consciousness. Yoga is preventing thoughts from going around in circles. Yoga is the control of thought waves in the mind. Roy Eugene Davis- (Center for Spiritual Awareness) The main "posture" I take for yoga, is the posture to "sit" for meditation. All other asanas (postures) are in support of this one.
