You Are the Painter Aswell As the Canvas

Do you have any idea how much material your entire being holds? I'm not talking about the materialistic (of the world) things many have their fingers tightly gripped on second by second... Moreso.... You are one glorious stretch of canvas, rolled out into different sections. Your mind; a base for all magical flow you could possibly salvage from one place in thought, which lead to the creation station- Your Hands; these then work with the constant attention from your visual display palace- Your Eyes; allowing all things to collide and combine in a beautiful mash of the initial magic that the mind created.... and Your Feet; your mobile assistants that carry you to all the points you need to travel to. Moment by moment, we are in constant soul rebirth, with this our material is constantly renewed and made clean. Creating a whole new vast space for you to splash your burst of colour and divine spirals of reality upon. We are all artirsts in some way. In some expression. The canvas has always been here.... choose to create a master piece!

Yes! I too believe we are all artist in one way or another. Each day we live, we make our mark on the canvas of life. This is truly a unique and profound personification, dear Natalie. ~ Elaine

Had to re-read; it's a powerful, artistic "fav".

Very profound...and well penned. So true that we must create our masterpiece with canvas that we are given. A poem that when pondered, could change lives...very well done.

"Moment by moment, we are in constant soul rebirth, with this our material is constantly renewed and made clean" - this was my favorite part, so optimistically up-beat and positive! The entire poem is rich and beautiful! Great job, Natalie.
