PORTRAIT OF A CREATIVE PILGRIM: Plotting the conclusion of a 3-month goal

PORTRAIT OF A CREATIVE PILGRIM. In my arms (in this image), I embrace components of myself, Wandjina (my animus) and wallaby (my vulnerability). Great Mystery in the form of a woman in a burka hovers over me in the top right corner, always offering a welcoming hand. The snake (fertility, new beginnings, and transformation) embraces the Trinity of Hallelujah, Wandjina, and Wallaby. The flowers celebrate us, the truth! (art by the creative pilgrim, Hallelujah Truth)

In the beginning, there was the declaration of the 3-month Artist Conference Network Goal (ACN)--to create a "new" image every day of the 3 months and to continue working on all of the images until the end of the goal period...and choose a way to present the body of work created during this time frame.

So I began with this image of me, Hallelujah Truth, on mixed media paper 6 inches by 8 inches. For me, the crown I placed on my head in this drawing reminds me of a birthday cake, and in many ways that is what this image represents! A celebration of another "birth" day, another day to create something new!

Pilgrims, each day we have the opportunity to be "born" again to our CREATIVITY, our SOULS. And that is what this particular series of new drawings is all about: BEING PRESENT TO THE NOW!

#REVERB12 (Day 27): How did you make time for creativity in 2012? LIVING HALLELUJAH'S MANIFESTO!

LIVING HALLELUJAH'S MANIFESTO. If not NOW when? NOW is the TIME for ALL of us to delve into our CREATIVITY! If you have time to drink coffee in the morning, you have TIME to kneel at the altar place of your imaginative soul. (Hallelujah NOW made for Elyse Voegeli by Hallelujah Truth)

#REVERB12 (Day 27) PROMPT: How did you make time for creativity in 2012?

I became clearer about BEING and having coffee with Hallelujah Truth by developing this MANIFESTO for CREATIVITY!

Celebrate the miracle of each moment! Be in the NOW.
 
Re-soul each day by having coffee with Hallelujah (15 minutes of creativity every day.)

Elaborate and expand the spirit by drawing, painting, singing, dancing, and laughing daily.
 
Acknowledge and accept gifts from others with awe and gratitude.
 

TEE-HEE

Tee-hee instead of Boo-hoo, knowing that joyfully managing hardship and hurts is way better for the spirit and body.
 
Engage with other like-minded souls and build creative communities (by teaching, taking classes, participating in art groups (ACN and WCAGA), blogging and participating in blogging events like Blogtoberfest, Worthiness Wednesdays, and #Reverb12--thanks Kat McNally).

THAT'S COFFEE WITH HALLELUJAH! Soul Blog with me and tell me how you made time for creativity in 2012. How will you make time for creativity in 2013? Will you follow Hallelujah's Manifesto?
