Michael Jackson, The Man in the Mirror – A True Artist Departs
25 Jun 2009Reports have confirmed that Michael Jackson, a great musical icon, has died at the age of 50. Many people will be mourning his loss.
Hearing about the death of Michael Jackson has been pretty shocking for me. I understand the cycle of life and I respect this process. However, it is most strange to me because I just heard the song “Man in the Mirror” a few nights ago while watching a rerun of CBS’s drama “Cold Case.” As I listened to the lyrics, I said to myself, “What a powerful artist. What a divine message.”
His message is what made him charismatic. His message was his charisma. His message of hope and being the miracle we all want in our lives is what made him magnetic. This magnetism brought light to many great causes such as homelessness, world hunger, HIV/AIDS awareness and more. He was one of the few celebrities of his time who lend his celebrity to charitable causes. Because of his dedication many other celebrities now follow his example of giving.
Yes, Michael Jackson’s life is not without controversy and I will in no way lend attention to these matters. What I will say is this, he was a great artist. He was a musical genius. Future generations of lyricists, musicians, and artists can learn from him as an artist. They can learn the importance of having a message, a positive message that can impact the world.
So before we cast stones, let us remember the good of the conscious creative artist and know that his creativity, art, and charitable giving has made this world a better place for many. As the song “Man in the mirror says, “I’m starting with the man in the mirror.” Let us remember to give and create consciously. Let us remember to use our gifts and talents to impart a message of hope, love, inspiration, and joy to others.
Until next time, be a giver, be a message of hope, and let the Creative Spirit move you.

Hi Carmellita,
I was very saddened by the news of the death Michael Jackson. I think we all must remember that he was human with lessons to learn in this plane. Although I am aware of what the tabloids had to say about MJ and the negative aspects of his late life, I realize that just like anyone he can have failings. I choose to preserve Micheal in my memory by the greatness of his music and the effect that it had on me. Did he have troubles? Yes. But so do we all. I loved his music and marveled at his talent. He has left a legacy of music that will touch generations.

this was a great tribute to michael jackson. I get what you are saying about him as an artist. do you think we all consciously create good things when we are being creative or do some people create negative things that can cause people to be confused and uninspired?
