I believe the journey of the artist …
A RedBubble Journal Entry by C.C. Arshagra
I believe the journey of the artist, or the journey of life and soul’s becoming is as honest as each moment admits the whole truth of all you do and do not know with bliss. It is not the pain of failures seen in self or others. It is every moment of ” ... aaah” (Not, oh-me oh-my). So to here accept the gift is now I see who I was. And now I see who I may be.
These fallings (And not pain or failures—so to speak) are lessons. Soul lessons that will mold the constant choices you are and will be. And this may be all that is true. True through all you do, think, feel, say and create. I honestly feel this to be each living beings living karma. It is the listening you give to life is within you are receiving it. And it is within the creating of you are now life’s giving in return. And this true are you to all life from this instant to every next one. I believe this is to understand and live here.
These falling moments are as important as success, if not more so. I believe they happen more and not less as time goes onward toward becoming the soul understanding of self. To become you are peace of mind here. Now residing presently within the core of your intelligent emotional soul being. I believe those who live to soul control others, keep and own greed, and lie to wield all painful kingdoms of sorrow are children. And all they destroy in their wake will be their becoming death’s wait for they truly do not know what they’re not.
The frequency of these fallings may increase and not decrease in this same change of time to time. This may continue so until the frequency is constant. Until your soul and art form of living is constantly here and true throughout your time, And through all the art you lived to create when this life of being form ends.
I believe the journey of the artist, or the journey of life and soul’s becoming is honesty, patience, humility, and all that it means to parent life, feel joy, and laugh no matter how silently you do. And oh to understand the moving of alive that transpires when a tear becomes a happy one. Falling.

Wonderfully written … the artist is the one who FEELS every experience of life and is able to open the door to retrieve these feelings and put them down on paper or canvas.

This is a powerful piece… some lines I especially find meaningful… “It is the listening you give to life”... ” These falling moments are as important as success” (pleased that you refer to them as “falling” not “failing”)... and your whole last paragraph… ” I believe the journey of the artist, or the journey of life and soul’s becoming is honesty, patience, humility, and all that it means to parent life, feel joy, and laugh no matter how silently you do. And oh to understand the moving of alive that transpires when a tear becomes a happy one. Falling.”... your style is beautifully reminiscent of Kahlil Gibran with the wisdom you express and the unique poetic syntax you use… Your words have the power to calm the spirit, and for that we artists are grateful…

Thank you drcochran! Every comment really matters! Receiving is always so much harder than giving.

Dear Gary Crandall, I am floored! I am going to die now because I always wanted to die happy! ... and laughing … not necessarily aloud though.
