EG- # 32

(c) Zoua- Terry Floyd Johnson, 2010


You see your best, of your best, when you act, within the creative arts,
because in expressing your creativity, you allow space, to be within
what you create. This space is poetical; it allows you, to feel, when
something works or not.

Artworks, literature, etc., all have the innate sense of pleasure and
joy of doing them ( even if at the time the artist, writer, poet seems
driven to do them, they're doing the only act they can do, to be true
to themselves ), this allows the joy of relaxation and listening
to the work itself, so the work, and the creator, work together, to
come up, with the finished joy-expression.

Poetical spaces is the sense, where the creative artist, allows the work
to express itself to him/her/it, as they're creating the vision they
see. It's a way, for the person, to allow him/herself ,to feel the rhythm
of what he/she/it is creating. This is what makes a work great, if the
creative artist listens, as well as creates, feels, as well as, focuses
on what they want to create, and is willing, to go beyond their own
vision, if the poetics feel not right, to what's true, for the work.

To understand poetical spaces, know they're rhythm indicators,
which allow the creative artist, to know, when the rhythm is flowing, or
if it isn't. By listening/feeling the poetical spaces, in any work, the
creative artist is in a process of creation, rather than in a
schematic driven effort, where there's no healthy rhythm, within it.

This shows- what isn't there, in a work, is just as important, as
what is. Be free, act in the only way you can act to be true to yourself.

Piet Mondrian works seem to be very devised, with every movement made,
to express, just what the artist wanted and nothing else. This couldn't
be further from the truth. In his work, the lines of color, he
makes, are placed carefully on the canvas, but spaces are there, also;
the spaces vibrating, with the planned vision, creating the artistic
experience, by trusting your feelings, and interacting with the work,
feeling the poetical spaces, between your vision, and what you're
looking at.

May the Microcosmic Force be with You!
