Seasonal Arts

Music And Poetry

Music and poetry are diametrically unopposed and should harmonate and resonate well together. Music and poetry rhymatically speaking, go lyrically hand in hand, all it takes for a piece of poetry is for a good music writer to put notes and melody into the rhythmatical, instrumentation from the rhymning words. Once you have got a nice piece of written music to play, all you need then is for a singer musician to perform the piece and play the song/s. Now the song is being performed we can look back on how the piece was chosen, written, assembled and constructed. You need subject matter, emotions and visualization, then you need someone with a good voice and also one who can make the words come to be alive in tune to the music. Music is the flavour of the season and poetry is the meaning of the atmosphere, whever you can combine the two, you really seriously ought to. Poetry is for the quiet reader who gets to know the poet by their sensual disposition to explain and portray the words into descriptive identity, with metaphors and similes, rhymning words, with an explanation of what feels, into a portrayal of visualization of peace and heaven. Of cource you can also associate this with music, but with music you tend to get more invoved in the listening and hearing for the pleasure of enjoyment and undertsanding the artists perspective and depiction of the song. What idea could be better than sitting down with a good book of poetry and trying to listen to soothing music or smooth flowing words, that are calming your nerves and putting you into the place of being that you could just float off into space into the land of dreaming. It is heaven in a state of mind, just like the pleasure of reading you can casually and carefully listen to the words of the song, while you read the verses of the poetry of the song if you are clever enough to co-ordinate the two. Most people are as they read the words of the songs as they play by their favorite artist in the contempory musicians style of self indulgence and performability. I am not quite up to an orchestral arrangemnent, but I can imagine or invision the same principles being applied to a concerto as much as a country and western song. I like the songs that are more meaningful and explanetorially descriptive, with their words in understandable clarification and balanced in their deliverance, where you get the story of the world or earth's treasures carefully explained to you in the song. With cresendos and sticatoes, you have a sharp control of pitch and level, as well as the blending and associated contrast of dialogue and harmony in meaningful description and sweet echoing choruses. Just as you can chance find a song or poem that you like, you can select a writer who can co-ordinate the twine of poetry and music into a world of refined written literical lyrics. So the sound you hear is the end result of the performing artist and the things that you listen to a just a formulation of blissful heaven as you enjoy the piece and the peace of music from poetical coertion. It really is wonderful to find a magnifigant choral arrangement that you can select to encorporate into the choir's repetoire. The balance comes from association and relationship and the genre is only up to the scope of the readers heart or their mind of personal preference or taste in words. Great is the heart who can sit back and take in all the depths and meanings of the glorifictation of written songs with the reading enjoyment of a book that holds your interest and facitates you personality in to the world of art and literature. Grace be with you as you happily accept and listen to the words of the song while you read yourself to sleep. The product is the high of life's meaningful enjoyments.

Rhyme And Reason

There is an Amy Grant song that goes, Who needs but a rhyme or reason, I forget how the rest of the song goes, but she does it real good justice. There are a lot of poets and writers who try and rhyme words for no reason at all but time, I am one of them, the meaning is purely and simply a bonus. Poetry is naturally designed for me anyway as a rhyming technique which creates rhythm and beat like music, but with words that flow form the heart is seasons of the mind and motion of moving like the heart continues to do with every single beat, just as life is a way of rhythm and beat in the movement of a person from one place to another, so do does the mind dwell in and constant creation of heavenly ideas of peace and harmony, order and chaos at times as well, as a place to just suit and be yourself. Working for the better of the world is a way of releasing stresses and tentions in work that helps you enjoy life a bit more and determines your place of rest and sleep patterns with behaviour. You just can't go like a bull at a gate with everything and expect to enjoy peaceful situations, you have to take time out to rest, relax and recoperate your physical strength and learn to take in the beauty of creation as well as the gifts of other peoples different ideas and passions. Rhyme is a vehicle for discovery and the reasons for the seasons are very unique and different also, just as well it helps us to understand them better. Always interlocking and blending in to one another and looking for association and connection from one to the other. Just as there is rhyme and reason for nearly everything the is meaning and purpose as well. We all have to work towards the common goal of a perfect world which arises and comes about when God delivers His situtation of a loving environment into all of our lives. We just have to wait expectantly and with eager and great anticipation for the arrival of the world of rhyme and reason for us and everyone else. Time for everything and everything in its season, this is the real meaning and purpose for life, one of full restoration and a passionate reality of the desire of the burning heart to be in order and of organised situations. Read the rhyme and get the time, read the reason and get the meaning and understanding of the season. The picture puzzle all comes together one way or another as the clouds move above us in symetrical sequence to brighten up our day and give us the perfect peaceful picture of a God in heaven. It really is all not that too very hard, just like the houses sitting on Sydney Harbour are seemingly to be in heaven, as a real place of paradise formed and built over hundreds of years, perhaps even thousands of participating people who all lend a hand to come and help to make the world a better place to live, enjoy and abide by. This rhyme and reason, rhythm and season is the way of evolvement and purpose in understanding and the picture perfect place of the sun shining on order and to get what God has given us as a paradise to live in. Get it into your mind, head and heart if you can, it is not all that hard if you each are prepared to make an effort in any way of kindess, goodness and love of charity. Like the mountains and the oceans, the rivers and the lakes, the seas and the trees, so is the beauty of the world in rhyme and reason, see it clearly if you can and get the perfect picture of heaven, utopia if you like. I love to be an idealist dreamer, it helps me see places of peace and with a creation of reality, the clarity and clearness of life.

Fashion And Passion

They say clothes make the man and also a woman steels the whole house with a dress. Either gender can wear a suit and a suit will win the occassion, at any time of the day or night. A passion for fashion whether you buy your clothes at Maceys in New York or Harrods in London and David Jones or Myer in Sydney, Hong Kong shopping for those who care. It seems that now matter how much you pay or how little, that your appropriateness of attire is accomodated by good taste and relevant criteria. Swimsuit on the beach and a tuxedo at at piano concerto or wedding. It seems that there is no end to what and where you can wear anything, but each occassion is best dressed and suited to its each and individual requirements of the occasions appropriateness. Winter, you would wear a jumper or jacket and long sleeves and trousers, in Summer you would wear a T Shirt, Shorts and hat or cap. Spring invites itself to another trend of bright colours and soft delicate fabrics of which to enjoy. Autumn tends towards earthy colours and warmer textures and knits with leafy patterns and neutral blends. Women tend to take fashion as a hazardess past time, who overindulge in seasonal shopping and spend a fortune on dressing up to please themself and others for any reason of a notority ocassion. Of cource you have got to have the latest trends and out do your friends by being the best dressed. Champayne parties and a day at the races are all good reasons to buy another outfit and compete for the title of being the best dressed, most stunning and beautiful in appearance there and then. If you just got out of the shower, I am sorry for you, I will see you when you put your makeup on and get dressed. It seems that not matter how hard you try and please others by your appearance that you just fall short by someone else trying to do exactly the same thing. We have to learn to take things in there stride and become more tolerant with other peoples opinions, why I feel like I have to beat you, just because you spend more money on clothes than I do, is not really the question or object, but seemingly the way it really is. It is not about the show really, but the love in the heart, the beauty is only skin deep and no matter how much you spend on clothes you can only where one set of clothes at a time and everybody else is in the same situation. God looks at the heart and the motives for success, He examines each thought and mind of people to determine their attitude towards Him. God loves a cheerful giver more than a celebrity superstar, no matter how good they look or crook they are in their hearts, faith is merited by good deeds, but grace is the undeserved favour of God to those who don't have enough to give. Consider the widows mite, she gave all that she had and it was credited to her as righteousness. In God's eyes beauty is in the heart and soul of the person by their love towards God and others, shown by what they do and say as it is to all of us. Sinners can't enter into the kingdom of God, but by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, all recieve a free pardon for their sins. So when you look in the mirror next at yourself and think, what will I wear today? spare a thought for those who will see your heart and soul as well as your clothes. Beauty in God's eyes is a giving heart and soul. You could also say, What would Jesus do? Try and get the perspective of reflecting on Christ a whole lot more and then you will see the clear picture for yourself.

Animals And Trees

A dog cocks his leg top go to the toilet againts a tree, man has a bit more dignity than that, but animals roam the plains looking for a bit of shade which trees provide very nicely for the to rest under in the cool of they're branches on a hot day. Trees are vegetation and are lovely in form and shape, with branches stretching out for heaven as the seek to reach and climb to touch the sky. Animals roam the earth looking for a steam to drink from, which trees sink their roots into to take in a drink and greenen up their leaves. Animal can be wild, domesticated, in a zoo, on a farm, roaming wild in Africa, different types of North American animals and Australian marsupials and mammals with Flora that can also be a nice tree, like the golden wattle for example.Trees seem to want to just keep on going as they provide a change in the environment for animlas to pass by without a thought as they aslo might seek to notice one to stand under. Animals move and trees are planted firmly in the ground which hold their postition and don't move very much at all, except to sway in the breeze as they lose their leaves and fall to the ground for future rich compost. Trees grow new leaves each year, as the slowly spring up new shoots to form new branches that replace the dead wood that has fallen to the ground in fires and storms. Animals lead a very kind if leisurely lifestyle, with no care or fuss, but where to graze and get the next meal, as the predetors seek out the weeker smaller ones for food and they scamper for their lives to get away and survive the species. There are carnevoirs and herbavoirs, those that feed on meat or vegetation. Giraffes for example reach up to the new soft tender shutes and take the top shelf for their diet. Wombats on the other hand dig down for the same fresh tender rootes of the trees and bushes. Sheep and cattle just seem contented to wander and eat all day, grazing on the grasses of the paddock and field, just like Kangaroos which can be a problem for the farmers. Trees are grown for their timber and wood, cut down when they are big enough to make wood out of and build houses and make furniture. Australia with its Gum Trees, North America with its pines and red wood cedar. Balsa wood for model making and poplers for wind breaks and tooth picks and matches, to name a few. While all the native bushes are treasures in themsleves with Christmas bush and grevilias and banksias or waratahs. All these small naitives are just mini trres we call bushes. A cat and a dog for home and rabbits, mice and guinea pigs for smelly little friends. I am not going to get into gold fish as pets or the dolphins and whales which also share the mammal category like humans, they have no need for trees but kelp, plankton and seaweed beneath the surface of the water. I have only touched the surface and this subject, of which there are far many more books on more specifically written on than I could name or find. I will leave it to you very vivid immaginations to imagine more and what else could have been written about this, animals and trees are lovely, facinating and glorious to see, living in the true amazement of their individual creation. Dinasaurs are past history, they ate trees to and people, but they are no more, the people were too smart for them, like all animals and trees, God made man to rule over His creation.

Mountains and Rivers

As the mountains rise from the earth and he rivers run into the seas, so to does the love and life flow through the veigns of people that have heart and soul with a passion of desire for plenty. Life is about abundance and the pretty picture of who gets what is so all too important, that the exclusiveness of seclusion cannot be considered but embraced as a love and portrait of the person. Mountains are not just about money, unless you have a little cottage on a hill with a river running by, that someone might want to pay you a reasonable price for so that you can settle there for a while. I think about Henry Craig's house that Jim Craig inherited in The Man From Snowey River. Bush verse and poetry, which just lap up this type of thing as scenic mountain ranges and flowing rivers, streams or brooks are a peaceful setting and a wondeful attraction for tourists and venturing explorers. This type of flowing landscape lends itself the the ultimate of fresh air living with gives you a peaceful high as you take in a breath of the fresh air that is briskly wafting through the mountains for you to inhale and indulge in. The air may be a little thinner up high, but the heart and soul and mind of the mountain hills are very peaceful and indulging. Like the rivers that run into lakes and pretty countryside of meandering streams that line the roadsides and railways tracks for you to perouse and enjoy as you travel. So to does the mind wander into the joyous world of natural creation where the song of a bird is just as nice as the smell of the air. This place of peace and being is wonderful to behold and as you take in the mountain air you feel relaxed, invigorated from your climb and exuberated from the sight of a river that runs by or down into the nearby valleys and plains to the seasides. Life is good indeed and all is not lost but to be experienced and loved as a world of engaging things to do and see. Mountains and rivers are indeed a truly great science of the world of nature. Loved by all and possibly only enjoyed by few, as those who take life too seriously and don't venture out beyond the front door and leave a world behind them of an unexplored wilderness and life to be seen and enjoyed are just going without. The television is too often the easy way out and it is not until you experience mountains and rivers first hand, that you get to know the difference between your loungeroom and the all too mighty creation of God. Go for a drive along some of the roads that lead you to mountains and rivers, find a road the passes along or by them and take the tourist route and have a look at them, life is too good and too short to miss out on such a wondrous activity.

Land And Seas

Though I travel over land and sea, what is that to me, till by faith I met Him face to face and felt the wonder of His grace, I knew that He was more than just a God who did not care, who lived away up there, and now He walks beside everyday, lest I stray, helping me to find the narrow way, he is everything to me. A song that I learned in Sunday school, no matter how wide the world is and how magestic is its presence, without the Lord God beside us we are just wandering aimlessly in the desert. A God of love and care and goodness, grace and mercy, helping us to see all he has to offer us if we will just open our eyes and see or look, ask for help and understanding or guidance and just offer up our hearts and minds and souls to be used for the greater glory and purpose of His loving eternal plan. Land and seas, discovered by ealry explorers, opening up an endless possibility of potential for future generations which we have now come across and settled down on over a vast amount of years. Of continents and islands, lands and seas and oceans, we as a people have come so far and gone many times more than we ought ever have dreamed of, but we are now here in the present once again, looking forward towards the future. We have strange and wonderful rock formations, farm and grazing lands, built up urban cities and colonized towns and shires, places to visit by the sea, a world of diference yet something new everyday to do. People working hard and without care of what they can do for themselves for their futures and prosperity, lands and seas of many a wide and diverse types of cultures and people. A world of discovery and exploration, land to be lived on and seas to show us where we have come from and where we are going, multiudes of fish stock the seas with teams of life and plenty for all. We just have to be careful not to over produce and utilize our vast stocks of fish and species from the oceans. So much potential to use and enjoy, rocky outcrops, wide and roaming rivers to split the landscape, coastal shores to lead and guide the way of peace and understanding. God is indeed a good God, a person who we can lean on and trust, a wealth of wisdom and information, someone who knows everything before we know ourselves. Just ask, look and listen and He will show you the way to an amazing planet of a wide range of people and lands across many seas and countries to many places of interest to visit. Wonderful is His wisdom and enormous His understanding. Lean not on your own understanding, but in all ways achknowledge Him/Me, He says, Jesus Christ is His name. Who is the King Of Glory, Who is the King of Grace, go in peace as you seek to love and serve The Lord. God bless you as you seek to take on and discover many lands and seas.

Social And Entertainment

The social arts of life are the seasonal activities of nature and creation, like art studies and art classes and lessons or a night at poetry reading gathering to share your worth and talents with others. I have done a bit of that over the years and there is art galleries just waiting for you to visit. These social forms of seasonal arts and indeed a form of entertainment, Places of things to do that make life worth while and worth living. See all the splendour of everything that everyone else does for a change, usually at very little cost to yourself, and sometimes free as an educational lesson on the arts of life, learning and living. The beauty of the artists personal portrayal of a picture, the lush texture and brush strokes of a master creator. Then you have the theatre, the stage plays of long ago brought to life and depictured of old times in modern day settings of people and places of how they were in the ancient world, for example Shakespeare. Plays in sometimes and somewhat dramatical forms and ways, in rich architectural delight of ornate theatre buildings with velvet curtains and musical arrangements by orchestras. As well as that we can go to the opera and see a musical stage play performed by some of the best tenors and supranos of all time. Entertainment can come in many forms, even a trip or visit to the zoo is a facinating idea of difference, culture and atmosphere to real life. For those who take cruises or holidays around the country or the world, you stay in lovely motels while you see the countryside and disembark on seasonal activities of sightseeing and bus tours that leave you breathless and flabergasted by the awesome splendour of God and the wonderful differences of creation. Places around the world where you can discover all the differences of culture in theatre and plays as you travel. I guess you can just watch a movie on TV at home with your partner or go to the cinema and enjoy a film production in senseround these days and the technicolour genius of beauty in motion pictures, artists, actors and playwrites all coming together to make a world of visible images for you to enjoy in the form of social entertainment and literary creation for live productions of enjoyement. Back to the office for the film and book writers, who put together and mastermind these thinsg for your enjoyment, creating stories and telling tales of all the things you can do for yoursleves woven intot he days of life, without the boring dull existance of self centerness and staying home moping and feeling sorry for yourself. Life is all about getting out and doing, seeking the good things of life and learning to enjoy them with others. That is why we work and what our purpose as humans are, the creative arts of life in seasonal activities if you like. Developing and discovering a mind of cultural awareness and productivity for sharing diverse and interesting things of different cultures and scenes of working networks with each other, pay for the play, enjoy the other side of midnight, and don't get too much of the sun for those who love to spend too much time on the beach.

Royalty And Religion

Royalty and religion, a contradiction of terms and interest, no I don't think so, they go hand in hand and complement each other I think. The Bible talks about Kings and Prophets and Judges, Kings as royalty are a very much apart of the religeous structure on The Kingdom of God. On the other hand there are those who are poor and destitute and cling to religion as a safeguard and a security. Jesus came not for the rich and righteous, but for those who did not know the love of God and for those who were on the streets without a meal and a bed to sleep in. So where do we go from here, what side of the fence are you on, I am neither rich nor poor, somewhere in the middle which is a safe place to be, but Jesus also said that He did not want Luke warm Christains. He said be neither rich nor poor, but be content with your wages and your jobs. Sitting on the fence a happy place to be, a safe place or an insecure place to be, You cannot love both God and mammon, things and money or God. Royaly, even though Jesus was the prince of peace and the king of kings, Lord of Lords and almighty saviour, we can't forget the reason for His visit to earth and that was to lead the rich home to God and to feed the starving and cloth the poor. We have to have a humble heart and we have to behave ourselves in love, no sexual indulgence or debauchery. We have to folow the rules in other words, we have to read the rules of the world, understand the bible and follow God's instructions. Religion and Royalty at two ends of the spectrum for sure, but not totally contradictory. The queen should go to church and the poor should pay there taxes. The government all too often use stand over tactics and show no care and compassion for those who are hurting, the humble poor. While the rich at the same time try to exploit all they can and carefore withhout a sense of heart. The work has to get done for sure, God is not opposed to that and infact he encourages us to do our bit and help out wherever we can, not under evil dictators hands and greedy landlords or product managers. Life is about enjoyment, sure we have to work to pay our way, but not at the price of someone owning everything and telling everyone else what to do. That job is God's alone and he does it in the kindest way. Royalty is the rich and famous and their governments, Religion is for those who need a hope and the love and joy of God, Jesus came to seek and save the lost, His teachings are not religous ideocracy, but a gentle and loving nature of human kindness and a beautiful spirit whose teachings and instructions, we all would do well to follow. Be wise and do not complain about the royal and rich, but live your own lives for the blessings and the advancement and forwarding of the kindgdom of God. God is the righteous judge, He will not let you down or out of His loving arms.

Century And Millenium

I remember at the beginning of this millenium and the first century of the second millenium, the first born child was a baby named Page, now 20 years old as I write in August 2020. What a joy to behold and I could not think of a better name or way to start the new millenium than with a new born baby named Page. Page what a name for an idea of a thousand years, she gave me inspiration to sit down and write a thousand pages, or even two thousand pages. I hope she is going through university now, doing an arts degree to write as many pages as she can in literature or at least reads as many pages as she can to understand life and everything about it. A century is a hundred years if you count them go by for those who have lived out that many days and for those who are now heading for their second century. A millenium is a thousand years or ten centuries and for all us now in our third millenium collectively, our childrens, children will see the rest of this third millenium. Jesus came to earth two thousand years ago and lived only a very short and sweet life of 33.3 years, a life full of richness and colourful inspiration. I get inspired to write by His three years of teachings, miracles and parables and I also get plenty of joy and meaning out of doing so in the course and purpose of the literary journey of life. Phillipa Davies wrote a book that I read called and titled, Centuries of Childhood, about the cource of mother nature and all the families of children and the love and joy that they are to us all. God is a good God and he will never leave us, He will be there at the end of this millenium and the next. There was four thousand years of old Testament times and that is four milleniums since Adam was a boy, that is sixty centuries so far. Plenty of history and things to talk about down through the ages of time and history. A century and a millenium, I am glad that I have experienced them in my lifetime, now looking forward to living a hundred years or two in this millenium and the twenty first century of AD life. You can take a walk around Centential park in Sydneys Eastern Suburbs, you can go to Sydney Olympic Park, where the 2000 Olympics were held. There is planty of things to remind us of such a momentum of time, we even have millenium trains here in Sydney. There is ten decades to a century and for those who have lived through two world wars and some of you did, even going on to live a hundred years after all that. Time too often takes second palce to its good old friend money which likes to dominate everything, but we need to take time out and reflect on time mroe often. Cherishing the memories and remembering the past of all those momentus occasions that simply did not just pass us bye but left and made a point in our heads and minds and to recollect all of the great achievements of our past predecessors and ancessors who made world records and created things of technological advancement that we alll still marvel in now. Take your time and love out a century, remembering all the centuries of the milleniums before, God knows its worth it and all the love in centuries and milleniums gone and coming.
