Why does no one write with adult words like these anymore?<br /><br />Thank you.<br />I've place this on "Learni.st" an educational website. I hope you don't mind. But I placed it by it-self on a Learning Board<br />http://learni.st/users/eossipov/boards/17504-selective-educational-musings-pertaining-to-occupationsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2925449466467205516.post-44948874811571256122013-03-07T07:08:49.050-08:002013-03-07T07:08:49.050-08:00Thank you dear Shari - I utterly agree and love yo...Thank you dear Shari - I utterly agree and love your concept of the artistic soul...yet again you bring the warm incandescent glow of poetic eloquence to my humble musings - elevated indeed by your own highly articulate and utterly lovely insights on the subject. I love your thoughts in regard to the building blocks of moments that are in a constant state of becoming...because we are perpetually in flux and each particular experience, however small, contributes to the ongoing rush that is us. Hopefully not always a rush - although perhaps it often feels that way :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18156605759733149704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2925449466467205516.post-83026358572443917632013-03-06T06:20:48.503-08:002013-03-06T06:20:48.503-08:00Dear PJ,

I believe in an "artistic soul," in which there resides an inherent awareness of all things aesthetically related. Each of us may or may not develop our connection with our artistic soul, depending on our mindfulness exercises to awaken and nurture a mutual co-existence. When we do, this is what I consider maturation or self-actualization on an aesthetic level. We may have a multitude of experiences (or not), but when we develop the artistic soul, we simply magnify the ways in which we can express ourselves. <br /><br />Having said that, it is also fair to say that every moment in life has merit and is valid, for they are building blocks to each state of maturity in the constant process of becoming. Writing reflects these states of refinement as much as they reflect who we are. After all, we are a product of of our time, our culture and our environment as well. <br /><br />The "authentic voice" of which you speak is a product, I believe, of the maturation of the artistic soul that resides in each of us, and which deserves revelation for further enlightenment versus sequestration in dark, gloomy caves.<br /> <br />Shari LeKanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05764921433989389867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2925449466467205516.post-30349437121258430342013-03-06T04:10:13.010-08:002013-03-06T04:10:13.010-08:00Steve thank you so much for dropping by my humble ...Steve thank you so much for dropping by my humble musing - I greatly appreciate your visit as well as your most kind commentary.
