'Tread peacefully upon earths shores for within its bosom lie the newborn souls of tomorrow and all the spirits of yestryrs'...............judy joy jones



Musicians, dancers and actors art can be seen and heard whereas creative writing ideas being formed in the artists womb are hidden

When in the throngs of creativity, communicating with others is extremely difficult and artists having to work
regular jobs can mean death to thousands of unborn creations.

Rilke, the famous poet left family, friends and all responsibilities to be by himself and wait on gods words to flow through his pen.

Each book, poem, painting and song is formed in the midst and if artists energies are given to anything other then the birth of their art, their creations die.

Creation occurring in a human womb is seen and yet art being created though hidden, requires the same protective process to become a thing of beauty.

Franz Schburt the classical composer of "Ave Maria" died penniless and homeless at age 31, sleeping on friends couches.

His answer to his father who pushed him to take on music students to earn a living was;

"Father, I can't. All I can do is write music which has me, not me it."

Artists lives are difficult, especially the writers, whose art form requires long periods of isolation before being born.

In the book "Silences" by Tillie Olsen, she said women artists who achieve recognition are those who remained childless or if they had children had Nannies to take care of them.

I was fortunate to attend one of Tillie Olsens final talks before her death at the famous City Lights Bookstore in San Francisco, California and her wisdom is with me always.

The silenced voices will be continued by the unborn souls of tomorrow. And I will work triple times as hard planting the seeds that will help make it happen.

And it is with deep gratitude I salute all artists, who often against great odds,spread the glory of heaven on earth.
