The Artist’s Zenith
I’m never jealous as an artist.
But in my art group, I do feel a quiet envy—
not of skill or success,
but of those who reach their artistic pinnacle for the day.
That elusive moment when everything aligns—
vision, hand, spirit, and form.
It’s something we all chase,
but the truth is, it only arrives once in a while.
Sometimes it comes early in a piece.
Sometimes, not at all.
And when it does come,
it rests lightly, as if on loan from some greater force.
The zenith—that high point of creative clarity—
feels like a drug we long for.
And like any high, it cannot be sustained.
We try everything:
meditation, exercise, walking,
even sifting through old memories—
all in hopes of sparking the zealot inside,
the one who dares to create without fear.
Because in the end, we know—
the pinnacle is never permanent.
But even a fleeting touch of it
is worth the entire journey.

BoJenn Jennings is a lifelong artist, writer, and neurodivergent thinker who has spent over seven decades observing the world through a deeply intuitive lens. Born in New Orleans in 1952 and now reflecting on 72 years of life as an autistic person, BoJenn combines spiritual insight, sensory perception, and emotional depth in both her art and writing.
Her work explores themes of consciousness, memory, ancestral lineage, and the sacred geometry of everyday life. She has traveled the world, embraced silence, and lived through a near-death experience—each shaping her perspective as both witness and creator.
When she paints, she listens for the moment of arrival—that fleeting pinnacle where spirit meets form. When she writes, she speaks with the clarity of someone who sees what others miss.
BoJenn currently lives near the Texas Gulf Coast, where she continues to create, reflect, and uncover beauty in both the seen and unseen.
