Point Of Grace

by brendan s

Representing the point in which a feeling of pleasure in ones own work, we almost want freedom for ourselves, and everyone else.

Finding that hour of the moment  -- in an expanded timeview, we might try something new.

A new idea comes upon us, and we write, or express ourselves in some way, and the point of grace is reached.


I haven't written much lately, as a result of "life" -- but I know that point of grace, which is maybe why I feel so content to only say so much lately.

I feel like a phase of our evolution is meeting a final close, and that a new stage of evolution is now dawning in front of us.

I might make up words sometimes or use heavy scientific terms, but I mean what I say in this that there is a 'point of grace' we reach as artists, where our work, and our ideas, start supporting each other.

A musician can study science, and learn about vibrational healing, just as a doctor can study music and learn about art therapy.

To "help others with our creativity" -- and reach a evolution where this is truly possible, is one point of grace.

Another is financially-satisfied artists.

The people who are usually the 'best' artists in this, don't need to try.

Effortlessness is the way of the best artists, who seem to know naturally what they need to do.

Writing on the subject of one's choice, a real decision is made sometimes, to unveil every truth, in any format we desire.

The audience can take it or leave it, and accept what they want out of the ideas shared.

Whether life-story, or simply an "invented memoir" (which some people write ..) I might focus on a higher reality, that is just reality itself to me, but may appear a higher reality to other people.

My dharma is to give, and keep giving, while I know (essentially) that as humans we all possess a spark of one good art product, or one beautiful song, in each of us.

I see this ideal fuels a lot of my art, and my faith in other artists is one of the reasons why I do not stop writing.

I've found that making my music I can reach an ecstatic feeling, knowing the production has 'worked out well' and that I expressed my vocal the way that makes me myself feel good, knowing there is something to offer others, too.

No selfishness exists in the best artists, and we like to give who are at a point of grace.

Good artists don't need to be judged, either, when they are at this level of expression, this point of grace.

Grace is acceptance, while keeping moving. A matter of faith realized, that we give to ourselves. Giving faith "to ourselves" is the use, and meaning, and purpose of such a self-satisfied artist.

When grateful feelings are realized, and we are aware our "art is creating itself" is another point of grace.

When you want to, you can help someone, and through 'someone' a thousand different people.

Directed messages, symbolically, or metaphorically-encoded with your actual beliefs are very helpful, since well-formed beliefs, even if dissonant with others, are helpful for other artists to see.

We like to see solidified beliefs in the artist, and to the actuality in which the desire of the artist is in an actual state of feeling that might be called joy.

We feel proud of our work, and as a result, somehow without resting on our laurels, just keep creating more of it.

In the dawning hour of the morning when the sun shines light-blue in the sky, and we see no sign of the actual sun until it is high in the sky, we mentally know the sun is out there. We know the light is shining, somewhere off in the distance, and we still felt the glow, though unwitnessable, or unseeable. The sun still shines.

We all find this point of grace, in my opinion, no matter who the artists, through the self-conditioning effect of our own work and craft on us through time and space. We teach ourselves, eventually, and learn how to learn from our own work, and therein lies another way to keep going.

Fresh work may start with a single poetic line, while other work is evolved from the sum-total of the product itself.

A lexicon like a massive page of writing is not necessarily necessary, maybe just a result of the interest to share, since a lot of books may've already been written, and we just felt the nerve to share.

Like the unshared books, while being written, points of grace are realized when the work is still in motion, also.

We keep working on the product until satisfied, knowing our infinity, and mortality, and just write, with the reason to describe and produce the effect over time that we desire, and the work though prolonged is still focused through a lens of grace.

What I am finding is that the internet helps a lot with this, as well as dual-existing forms of media, such as an actual book or physical CD, or whatever, that is counterpart to the virtual. We might have both virtual as well as physical material that agrees with each other, that produces a sense of good alchemy in us. Over time, this alchemy becomes like magic, and the grace we've realized is turned into an actual effect.

The effect of the artist starts to pour out of us, and we learn who we truly are, through our art.

Then we find the soul.

Then we find how to keep evolving, since the soul once-found is an identity we wish to learn from as opposed to ignore.

Whereas ignorance is bliss, negligence is terrific for some, but terrible to people who want to be paid attention to, and so daily work, or a constant vigilance over our own work and honoring of our craft is necessary to keep reaching, from one point to another, each graceful moment, in that mode where we "know we are doing the right thing" -- are thus empowered, and the power of our work can actually add to us in a way.


It is not money, necessarily, or even the audience. Many times poets and artists have existed in history who felt grace, without sharing their work, or while being recluses, and / or simply releasing only post-humous work. The work that is done, is still done, and was being produced through life, and the life we live. We give this work to ourselves, for a while, and yet if you really think about it, there is always something, or someone that hears you. Faith in this invisible, or potential audience is the greatest form of grace.
