I posted this question in another spot here a while back.  I use music, painting, poetry, and photos.  I write the poem that describes the painting and visaversa and the music to complement the painting but first it is a poem and then put guitar chords to the poem.  An example of this is.  My world peace song, I painting of the example of what I am expressing in the music,  it can be listened to it at my page.  The painting expresses that killing of inocent people goes on around the world over many things usually greed of one form or another.  Drive by's hitting children to war lords killing groups of people. Walk Away for a Day

The blood of the innocent stain the ground the world around, with a twitch of a finger or a push of a button men, women, and children turn to dust.

Walk away from the killin and blood spillin for a day and pray for peace for tomorrow.
Walk away for a day and pray for tomorrow.

The Devil’s laughin, said the Devil’s laughin, because God and the Angels are cryin because there’s too many people in this big world diein.

Walk away from the killin and blood spillin for a day and pray for peace for tomorrow.
Walk away for a day and pray for tomorrow.

I’ll shed a tear for the human race for loosing it’s humanity, how can it be?
Respect all of God’s creations from nation to nation, that means everywhere or suffer God’s wrath.

Walk away from the killin and blood spillin for a day and pray for peace for tomorrow.
Walk away for a day and pray for a tomorrow.

It doesn’t matter where you live or how you pray just walk away from the killin and blood spillin and pray for peace for tomorrow.
Walk away for a day and spend it with the ones you love.

Preying on the innocent and weak, thriving on hatred fear and, the greed of  the blood stained money, drugs, diamonds, oil and gold, have you sold your soul?  What will you do when the Devil wants his dues?

Walk away from the killin and blood spillin for a day and pray for peace for tomorrow.
Walk away for a day and pray for tomorrow.

All that’s good strives for peace, love and harmony, rise up above it all, governments and religious  leaders hear my plea to walk away for a day and pray for tomorrow, a call for divine intervention.

Art and music are a compulsion for me. They completely remove me from ordinary reality.I couldn't not do them... the stress and tension it relieves is huge.

What do I do?

 - craft my version of the didgeridoo using local hardwoods from storm-downed tree limbs.

 - paint, both with brush and airbrush and mostly to decorate the didgeridoos I make

 - play didgeridoo, piano, Native American Flute, and mid-eastern hand drums... alone and in groups.

Creativity is core to my spirituality. I'm rather Sufi-like in that regard.

   This is a very good article. I find prayer and music a fine way to relax and have peace in my mind and soul. I am now 45 years of age and began learning the play the guitar when I was 12. The soothing words to the old country gospel songs are an excellent way to ease the mind and have a closer time with God.

Art, poetry. short story writing, and visiting different sites that I belong to on the internets.

I love playing pc games online and off. I also reading from historial biblical to horror and syfy.

I enjoy watching tv and spending time with family. That's just some of the stuff I love doing and enjoy doing. 

I do all sorts of crafting. Tole painting - bird houses, small chairs that I call theme chairs, all kinds of wooded things; polymer clay, I do things with tea cups, also beads. Plus artificial flowers and birds and butterfles. I also found a new idea for jean pockets and the legs of the jeans too.  (You can go to my profile and see what I do with tea cups and the chairs). I also write poetry.

I am teaching a little girl who is the daughter of my mom's caregivers different crafts and she is a joy to teach. She is only 7 but learns so quick.
