Artistic expression is the honest expression of your life experiences within a context of truth and meaning. It reflects your relationship to your culture and your time in history. Most of all, it is an experience of something bigger than you moving through you and seeking expression and illumination. Art wrestles with the spiritual in the broadest sense of that word, but is not limited to any particular religion. It is often full of questions or is stimulated by the asking of questions. It may or may not lead to specific answers, but the process itself is inherently healing and enriching. If we are fortunate when we create artistically, we express something that transcends our own experience. - lyricalworks.com
