LET YOUR LIFE BE YOUR ART
Let your life be your art.
Allow the golden, glistening moments to weave themselves
Into an intricately crafted tapestry of experiences,
Thread by thread
Intertwining past, present, and future
Into one awe-inspiring spectacle for the universe
To behold here, now.
Let your life be your art.
The way you move your body
As you work, on the street, in the forest, in the kitchen.
Allow the carefully choreographed way
your hands dance as you prepare dinner
become a performance,
Rhythmically chopping, and stirring, and mixing.
Let your life be your art.
Surrender your speech to poetry.
Note the beauty of your articulations as they land
On the ears of your beloved
Like a sonnet,
Caressing them with love, understanding, and compassion
Igniting light, illuminating their loveliness.
Let your life be your art.
The way your feet lovingly graze the earth
Like paint-strokes on a canvas
Sketching the soil, each step with a brilliant palette
Of gentleness, care, lightness.
Let your life be your art,
The greatest studio space imaginable,
the most infinite realm of creative free rein.
You were born with this craft, this aptitude, this intrinsic ingenuity.
You need not go to art school, take classes, collect praise,
For your life to be a classic work
That fills you up from the inside
Spilling over boundaries, overflowing into the current
Of right here, right now.
Let your life be your art,
Moving and being moved,
The lasting touch of divinity
Leaving imprints of connectedness
The totality of mindful moments
A masterpiece to share and behold here, now.

BLOOMING POETRY
A poem starts as a tiny little seed planted in your mind
You nurture it, in time tiny roots start to form
It keeps on growing, branching out in all directions
Bursting from the buds the verses start to form
Until the poem blooms before your very eyes
Finally you are ready to reveal it in its full glory
You show the poem; your confidence blossoms
Some words may still need cultivating and pruning
Kind people will advise of where to trim or weed
My advice to new writers is simple – just have fun
Embrace your growing creativity with all your heart
--- Jan Allison
AN INSPIRING ART OF NATURE
An Inspiring Art Of Nature!
Artist's depiction of Nature through an angle
Surely captures hearts of all Nature lovers..!
Such beautiful artistic expression of Nature
Absorbs and inspires heart, mind and soul...!
Brook going across green pasture with hills
On one side and trees of many varieties on
The other side gives a cool look and peace
Nothing can give in the world of technology!
The free air we breathe among the beautiful
Things of Nature like colorful flowers, green
Meadows, lakes and cascading water falls
Endlessly gives inspiration to live there ever!
Mechanical way of life in the fast material
World is surly far, far away from Nature
And also natural way of life full of energy,
Enthusiasm and life nowhere one can get..!
