The Voice

In the beginning, I suffered from a silent voice, but now I experience a surge of radiant energy.

I was taught to be quiet, meek and obedient.

No questioning.

Muffled voice. 

Then I discovered art! The process of creating helped me open my voice.

The canvas is quiet, non judgmental; the pencils are strong and bold; the lines can be small or thick, the paper is willing to take anything. The chalks love to be mixed, smoothed and blended. On a collage, the images wait to be chosen. They sit patiently as they are arranged in a manner that represents the artist’s feelings. Each one is carefully chosen to depict the happy, the angered, the hopeful or the scared one.

In the finished product, each image is aligned and positioned just as the creator wants it.

The main concept is that through art, there are no judgments, criticisms, pure freedom from any critical voices…just you and the paper, brushes, paints or pencils.

Your vibration is a reflection of what your spirit is made up of. Let it reverberate throughout. Let others feel and see your vibrant rays of words, images and art.
