Dancing

I didn't have a dancing partner as I was listening to my favorite music.  I just started moving my body and my legs followed, even though I am unsure these days on my feet.   I had the house all to myself.  I felt a feeling and I wanted to respond, a response as if I were years younger.  I closed my eyes, twirled around, bowed and raised my arms.  I could feel my spirit start to ascend as I kept my time to the music.   They were just moments, but a moment I will remember.  I can ascend in a moment, anytime I wish.  I just have to remember.

What Are Birds Singing

All week I have been listening to a Carolina wren.  One morning while sitting on my deck he perched atop my wrought iron trellis and sang for all his worth.  I watched and was mesmerized by the sound coming from this little creature.  Since then he comes closer to where I sit and continues his beautiful melodies.  I just had to personalize the music and make it about me.  What would he be saying to me. As I listen I could tell my energy was on the slow burner.  I wanted to hear, "Yes, you can."  During meditation he continued.  I got the message.  I'm off to the studio to create and maybe clean up a little.

ENCOUNTERING ART AND SPIRIT

I am getting my workshops underway for 2009. If you want to come and play, be inspired and have fun for a day or more, these workshops are for you. My workshops are designed to implement creative ways of encountering the soul’s inner journey through art. Painting, poetry and collage will be explored in these experiential workshops. Other components, such as music, meditation and sharing, are fashioned to enhance the creative process and play a significant role, as we examine different ways of self-expression. The spirituality and art workshops are adapted according to individual groups and length of days. Emphasis is more on process than an end result, although a finished project is oftentimes achieved. For further information, contact Rosie at rehuart@aol.com.

No artistic experience necessary.
