The Way

JOURNEY INTO THE CORE

“When the poet puts questions, they are directed to everybody’s soul.” Mirjana Mut

Questions are a kind of psychological game with sub-consciousness. They are provocative call that cannot be ignored. Once put, questions stay marked in our consciousness open to all kind of answers. Answers  can be in the form of images, emotions, thoughts, body reactions. Once put, they cannot be avoided, they must be answered. Avoidance is also a kind of answer. In whatever form answers come, they shouldn’t be ignored. And they can’t be, because it will raise another question.
When the poet puts questions, they are directed to everybody’s soul. Answering poet’s questions is  a journey into the core of the being where all answers are.

THE WAY

What is bigger, my strength
Or my weakness?

Am I truly me in sadness
Or in my happiness?

Am I really brave
Admitting that I am scared?

Is it possible to forgive
Even when I too much care?

Do I only care for myself
And not for others?

When I don’t succeed, but fail
Can I be confronted with others?

Do I really live,
Or am I daily dieing?

When I am giving of myself
Is it without crying?

When I feel repentance
Is it my real affection?

Is the Truth really mightier
Than the lies’ attraction?

Asking all these questions,
Do I really ask or simply play?

Oh, dear Lord
Please show me The Way.

Between blue and gray

“When you lose the sense of time and space then you can be sure that you are close to your heart.”  Mirjana Mut

Out of the blue

Horizon seems split in two different images. On my left side it was blue and clear, one of images when it seems like you are melting with the serenity of the blue. On my right side it was grayish cloudy, looking like it could easily turn into dark. I was aware of both these images and their powerful beauty. Sitting on the deck, very close to the prow, I was dancing somewhere in between.

Out of that blue some thoughts about my namesake friend came to my mind so strongly that I almost could feel her presence. I know that she has been having some emotional issues lately, but it felt stronger than that. This unusual feeling was so strong, me so confused about it and not noticing that I was approaching the edge of the boat. When I came to the edge I looked down in the water. It was unexpectedly transparent and clearly blue. The first thought was that it is not possible to have this transparency with such depth of water there. But as fast as it came, that thought disappeared  and I realized that she is in the water with some green grass chaining around her legs. Her face was turned up to the surface of water and the expression was not fearful, but happy.

Not only will you learn how they deal with the challenges and advantages of creating art for a living,
but you will find out what it is that makes them unique in the noble mission of art.”

Exceptional Artists

“In art the hand can never execute anything higher than the heart can inspire”. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Interviews with exceptional artists

 

Exceptional ArtistsAs a writer, numerologist and life coach who loves art I see art as the purest reflection of life. I consider true artists as those who influence human consciousness and contribute to changes of humanity. With their imagination they encircle the world. And imagination is more important than knowledge because it is not limited. They take us into the world without boundaries offering us to expand our own consciousness and meet the best in ourselves.

With artists we also become a part of this limitless world in which everything is possible as the only ruler of that world are cheerful souls, beauty and harmony.
