![]() as you read these words and hear my voice and see my likeness remember that I am more than just a Muse more than just one who fosters the creative spirit I am The Creative Spirit the poet needed words so I invented language the singer needed melodies so I invented music the painter needed pictures so I invented color I gave them these tools so that they might learn, learn to write the words learn to sing the songs learn to show the pictures and to share what they’ve learned with the world so that those in the world might also know and want to learn and that, in their learning they might come to the table the table of life, to share a draft of Amrita with their fellow learners and to remember that in Creation we are all one -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note: Sarasvati is the white skinned Goddess of poetry, music, science and learning as well as all creative arts. Inventor of the Sanscrit language and all the creative arts. She invented Soma, or Amrita (drink of bliss). Independent of nature. Goddess of sensual love, creativity, beauty, art and music. This is the second of the Voices of the Goddess series. Thanks to Romy for the idea. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

Another informative and lovely piece. (I want some Amrita about now..I am far too stressed) How are you able to write such peacefulness right now? I wish I could. Sandra |

Your Goddess series is so lovely. I'm so glad you were inspired to start it because I'm enjoying learning about them so much and to remember that in Creation we are all one Such perfect lines there. If only everyone could understand that If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

Sven, being relatively new here, (day2) it is obvious of your talent and creative ability. You have been trained well of language. Thank you for a very wise poem. |
