Quote of the Day – July 25 2012

“Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams, because every second of the search is a second’s encounter with God and with eternity.”
― Paulo Coelho, Alchemist

Poetry in art
art in poetry
Beings and patterns request expression
and I do my best
rhymes, rhythms, colour form
They all spin through me
a poor man’s Rumplestilskin
if not spinning gold
than pretty dross
and floss

 

If sometime beauty is formed
or an idea that you take home
then it is not i
but the one who spins me
on the universal loom
in love with love and through love
part of the eternal tapestry
–G A R

Blessings, G

Questions at 1 AM

So if I take off my art and my quotes and my poems
if i stand exposed before the world
and speak my truth
will anyone care?
and why should that matter?
Do I have a truth worthy of expression?
one that hasn’t been said better by others?
What is my voice?
Can I teach as well as learn?
Can I talk as well as express?

What if I step out from behind my masks
and show nothing?
where does all this fear come from?
Could it be?
that I need to be this open
to heal myself and thus heal others?
— G A Rosenberg
