Today and every Friday, I invite you to join me in creating a response to the quotes I post, using the arts: visual arts, photography, music or song, dance (video please!) prose or poetry, it’s your choice.

“Life beats down and crushes the soul and art reminds you that you have one.” ~Stella Adler

Dancer by Petrea Hansen-Adamidis

Response by Deborah Clifton:

LANTERN

Sky illumined by true divine
Echoing wonders already in line
Unlimited scope of vast retreats
Potential discoveries open to meet

Blooming adventure radiant call
Surrendering to great and small
Honest eyes see colorfully
Beyond the reams of mystery

Allowing transcendence to expand
Opening to the promise land
Embarking upon this hidden trail
Releasing away what is frail

Exposing a heart that yearns to tell
Of magic more potent than any spell
Relief of hunger as absolutely filled
By light of glorious power instilled

Treasured ambiance eternal flame
Holy truth brightly proclaims
In the vastness of destiny
Shining forth its energy

I will be sharing a quote here weekly and inviting a response from others to the quote in the form of visual art, photography, poetry, dance, music, (video)- whatever art form you would like to express through.  You will have the opportunity to share directly on ArtTherapist.ca or through a link up to your blog or site if you have an online presence.  You are welcome to share your links to your responses below on your blog or if you wish, join us over at the Virtual Art Circle and share them there.  If you are not already a part of the Virtual Art Circle on Facebook and would like to be, just follow the link and request to join and I will add you.
