Joey’s Writings
Rabbi Yitzchak Schwartz and Joey Lowenstein have weekly poetry/writing sessions via Skype. Joey decides the topic and the poem’s title. Joey then writes the first few lines followed by the Rabbi; they alternate until the poem is completed. In the Skype Writing Sessions Joey has to spell out each word on a keyboard, which Joey’s aide is holding. Joey is not verbalizing these writings except an occasional word after he spells it.
Enjoy.
Summer Flag (April 28, 2023)
When Joey was asked what his thought process was for his painting “Summer Flag”, he replied:
“Summer Flag is my interpretation of what I think Memorial Day is like in Florida. It is how I perceive the American flag after being hit by the Atlantic breeze. The sunshine state showers with beauty and simple tones. I feel the summer coming in and wanted to show the strong affinity and pride I have for my country and its primary symbol. It is an abstract hence the lack of stars and only stripes as I wanted to add my own spin on the flag.”

Practice Makes Progress (April 16, 2023)
Practice makes progress
Day after day
Way after way
So I keep trying
For it is in the effort
That change begins
It is in the losses where we learn how to win
It is in the pain where we learn how to grin
And take every last bit right on in
Each day I strive to feel and drive
Myself to exertion
Ultimate bliss and get better with time
Fulfill every wish to be the best I can ever become
And pass every test I pass along
The very way
The very path
I walk along

Mystical Matrix (February 27, 2023)
When Joey was asked what his thought process was for his painting “Mystical Matrix”, he replied:
“For Mystical Matrix I chose the black canvas with the neon colors to convey a beautiful mystical matrix that exemplifies the wondrous world we live in. Each day, although we may not realize it we are living in a matrix full of constant coincidences and beautiful magic. I can sense this inside my body which indicates the colors and beauty our Creator has provided us. The mystical Matrix is something I hope to live within, understand, engage and express throughout the rest of my years.”

Mirage of The Mind (February 02, 2023)
When Joey was asked what his thought process was for his painting “Mirage of the Mind”, he replied:

Painted Illusions (January 20, 2023)
When Joey was asked what his thought process was for his painting “Painted illusions”, he replied:
“Painted Illusions are paintings of my mind. All the colors add up in sorts of rainbow bliss. It’s wonderful to look at and stirs up feelings of elation while reminding me the infinite magic of each color tone inside me which holds the freedom to express my many different moods at any given time.”

A Positivity and Love of Life (January 3, 2023)
From Sami Steigmann, Holocaust Survivor:
Roberta Lowenstein sent me a copy of Joey’s book Living Through My Eyes, Volume 1.
Joey is a 26 year-old living with autism. He uses his computer to communicate his feelings through poems, paintings (including painting descriptions), poem and painting titles. Joey loves snowboarding, running, and the outdoors.
Joey’s book spoke to me (one of the youngest Holocaust survivors subjected to medical experiments). Joey is an exceptional and truly inspirational person, especially for people with disabilities. Additionally, he personifies my favorite saying “Never give up. never lose hope” and my life’s motto “I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to be”. What impressed me the most, is Joey’s positivity and love of life. Check out his website: www.JoeyLowensteinFoundation.org.

Beauty Lies Within Your Soul, Part 2 (January 03, 2023)
Rabbi: Joey, yesterday you chose the title “Beauty Lies Within Your Soul” and we were able to really take off with some really beautiful poetic gratitudes. Would you like to have a Part Two?
Joey: Yes, let’s continue.
Joey: Beauty Lies Within Your Soul — Make it personal, but don’t take it personal. The sweet thing of beauty, the horizon teases each day after the last. The sand runs through the hourglass. There is pure beauty at last.
Rabbi: Beauty Lies Within Your Soul — If we can begin to touch what the soul touches, in its soulful way. If we can fathom the depth of the way the soul person speaks. If we can leave behind all our limitations and allow our soul to speak its true mind, who knows what wonders we can find.
Joey: Beauty Lies Within Your Soul — Lifted from the silent night is the fright you once stood frozen in and still at last, you look deep within and find the appear beauty within the soul.
Rabbi: Beauty Lies Within Your Soul — Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. The soul holds beauty in the palms of its hands. The land is alive with the beauty of the soul, and everywhere you go, you can watch this unfold.
Joey: Beauty Lies Within Your Soul — Still the meaning and magic is the pursuit of it all. Aiming your arrow, embracing the fall. True beauty lies within us all.
Rabbi: Beauty Lies Within Your Soul — The soul knows who we are, this knowing grows by leaps and bound. It speaks to us in silent shouts and it informs us of what we are truly all about.
Joey: Beauty Lies Within Your Soul — Inevitable bliss, honeymoon days don’t ever last. The meaning found at last struck by emotion, the awakened charm leads us all to the depths of our soul where beauty beholds.

Thankful for What I’ve Got (December 26, 2022)
Joey: Thankful for What I’ve Got — Stars align minutes unwind, time takes time. Still everything is just fine. Life is great with gratitude on the plate to serve and to be served.
Rabbi: Thankful for What I’ve Got — Perhaps the best way to relate to all that I am given, is to realize that the purpose of living is to know that nothing is understood until you understand that the essence of all that you have ever sought is to be thankful for what you’ve got.
Joey: Thankful for What I’ve Got — I am thankful for those who have shown me the meaning of love. A verb, in action that creates satisfaction in the deeper parts of our soul and pushes us to grow.
Rabbi: Thankful for What I’ve Got — Excitements and inspiration, draws my young poetic partner’s sensation into previously unrealized articulations and the secret drive of his inner intonations can be found in his commitment to never stop being thankful for all he’s got.
Joey: Thankful for What I’ve Got — While nobody knows where the golden road will take them, if you have a love by your side, it all becomes a joyous vacation. Life, love, and appreciation.
Rabbi: Thankful for What I’ve Got — Time flies when you’re having a good time. Lovers side when they lose the ability to spend one more day or night with the loves of their life. So don’t ever compromise this love, it doesn’t always fall from the skies. But one thing that you should never give up is to be thankful for what you’ve got.
Joey: Thankful for What I’ve Got — Curious and creative questions paint a picture and point me in the direction with love on your side. You never have to question, ’cause the answer is right there, to bond and bind with one another. Love is the way.
Rabbi: Joey, that was beautiful! Thank you. A lot of holiday spirit in that poem. All the best to you, great to see you all.

Thankful for What I’ve Got (December 26, 2022)
Rabbi: Let’s bask in your poetic spirit, what would you like to create?
Joey: Don’t Ever Compromise This Love For Yourself — For the one who makes you feel better than anything else, the only
thing real, ’cause it is worth being true if it makes you both better; if it makes you both grow to live for today, and yearn for forever.
Rabbi: Don’t Ever Compromise This Love For Yourself — Love is the universal recipe. Love is the secret key to expressing the essence of who you want to be, without needing to prove your worth to anybody. Love will allow you to realize all that you need to be.
Joey: Don’t Ever Compromise This Love For Yourself — Don’t ever close your eyes to the light that is inside, and if it dims, don’t worry nor hide. It’s a shadow of doubt which you must know, it is there to help you learn and grow, and just like snow, it melts away and a new day awaits.
Rabbi: Don’t Ever Compromise This Love For Yourself — Everybody knows that inside of a loving smile it hides a million secrets that have been waiting for quite awhile, to show you how very special you are to me, and to you, and to everyone who sees your smile.
Joey: Don’t Ever Compromise This Love For Yourself — And this too shall pass for a brighter day. The golden road is the only way to love another like yourself, and love yourself more than anything else.

Reaching to Space Through the Telescope of My Imagination
(September 10, 2022)
By Joey Lowenstein
When Joey was asked what his thought process was for his painting Reaching to Space Through the Telescope of My Imagination, he replied:
“I live in a world full of curiosity. My imagination runs wild and takes me to places I would have never gone if I hadn’t suspended judgment. My imagination is endless. I can see the universe through my inner imagination. My thought process is a rocket ship which takes me to different channels and planets outside of the day to day. I look forward to adding more fuel to my rocket so that I can blast off into new dimensions one day.”

A Passionate Loves Unity (September 04, 2022)
By Joey Lowenstein
Some backstory on the painting A Passionate Loves Unity — “Passion derives pleasure from connection. We are passionate about many things in life, yet it almost involves connecting our spirit with another force that collides to bring out the most synergistic effects of delight and emotion. We dance, sing, and express ourselves with passion while embracing the alliance of the souls who come together because of a shared interest.”

Rabbi: Joey it is great to see you. Looking like a superstar. Any opening words? Any opening words you would like to share before we start?

Rabbi: Beautiful. Well, I want you to know that I do too; I look forward to our time and I especially delight in the way you express your poetic ideas. It is never a dull moment so it is always surprising, involved, and I feel like you are growing all the time; You are exploring all new avenues of poetry. You know poetry goes on forever, it’s as wide as a human imagination. There is no end to it. With that in mind, what would you like to call today’s poem?
Joey: “A Journey Begins With One Step Forward”
Rabbi: That is a beautiful idea. I like that a lot, very poetic. It opens up all possibilities. How would you like to continue that line?
Joey: A Journey Begins With One Step Forward, and never looking back to always be a shoulder to lean on with arms wide open and fears listening more than speaking to each soul, that’s why we have two ears and one mouth you need to hear it through your ears before speaking it out loud.
Rabbi: A Journey Begins With One Step Forward — You must learn how to navigate, like the great sailors of old on the sea of the imagination, each step forward it’s a whole new sensation, so be patient my friend, the journey itself will lead us to our destination.
Joey: A Journey Begins With One Step Forward — Looking for new adventures to see and explore, in life you have to strive for more, our souls will want to stay its path, the path of God is always grand, but just know the walk is hard like walking on sand.
Rabbi: A Journey Begins With One Step Forward — He first ascends into the silence and he hears their ideas that at first he can never speak out loud, until he becomes awakened to the journey of every person and then words find a way from his mouth into our lives.
Joey: A Journey Begins With One Step Forward — With your head held high, they say the skies the limit, but I’m the sky, the clouds are my vision and dreams, the sun is my heart warm as can be, the stars are my cells reproducing the spirit within, and the moon is where I land and a new story begins.
Rabbi: A Journey Begins With One Step Forward — Walk your walk, and talk your talk and take a look around, see the endless sky and hear the pristine sounds, and then listen to your own voice, pronouncing such wonderful sounds, whether anyone is around or not.
Joey: A Journey Begins With One Step Forward — Your journey is yours only, so do not feel lonely, as you evolve one thing stays the same, the trajectory of your path will always turn a page, life goes on so cherish the time, take life in control, this journey is mine, now go shine brighter than any star in the sky.
Wings That Take You Higher (August 20, 2022)
By Joey Lowenstein
Looking down below, I wonder what I’ll see.
I wonder who would know if life is but a dream.
I’ll stay up in the sky, flying with my angels.
The only way to fly because everything is sweet
when you live peacefully in the now.
I’ve tried my best to make my mother proud.
The angels always lead and guide me towards the light
and set me on a path whenever I take flight.
So flying with these angels, I do right from my heart
and love with happiness until the end right from the start.

Friendly Skies (July 20, 2022)
By Joey Lowenstein
My painting “Friendly Skies” (painted on October 20, 2021) depicts the way opportunity opens once the storm clears.
Sometimes it can seem that the storm will last a long and dreadful time, while however, once the storm clears the warmth generated by the peeking sun brings a new light to our current situation.
Life has many ups and downs.
It’s important to learn from experience…and no matter the obstacle, one can overcome it.
When your light shines your reflection will be even brighter.

Joey: Volcanic Eruption with Earth Calling My Name — Feeling the rumble in my soul gazing at the sky to see what it beholds. I fear nothing but God. Every story is told I’m like a lion you can hear me roar through your soul.
Rabbi: Volcanic Eruption with Earth Calling My Name — Every new poem we create it emanates from deep within our souls and it shows us where to go and it bursts us everywhere you go and it’s always calling out our name.
Joey: Volcanic Eruption with Earth Calling My Name — As the hot magma touches Earth, a new land is formed. To think, the land is gone. But it was just reborn to fall seven times getting up eight. You have to realize that our story was already made.
Rabbi: Volcanic Eruption with Earth Calling My Name — The irresistible urge to unleash the hidden well springs the fire has been hidden for so long but is now showing its true face. But it is now very clear and it is now very strong.
Joey: Volcanic Eruption with Earth Calling My Name — Seasons change just like land does. Sometimes change is needed like a breath of fresh air. You have to find the beauty in all aspects of change to see a volcanic eruption is just a way of Earth changing a new lane. Now let that thought build in your brain.

The River of Acceptance (July 06, 2022)
Joey: The River of Acceptance — I accept today for tomorrow can not bring today and what the future has in store for me and in store for you. I feel within and shine throughout to live and accept without a shadow of doubt.
Rabbi: The River of Acceptance — I totally accept your holy words. And the day will come when the mind will see and the deaf will here and the earth will be full of the knowing of the lord as the waters covers the sea.

Landmine of Dreams (July 3, 2022)
Joey: I’m feeling truly creative and inspired today. I always enjoy the space we share. How are you?
Rabbi: I’m doing really good Joey. I’m really happy to be here with you today. I’m also feeling creative and i’m inspired that you are inspired. Let’s turn it into a big bonfire that reaches all the way into the sky. What do you think about that?
Joey: Let’s make magic.
Rabbi: What would you like to call this power Joey?
Joey: Landmine of Dreams.
Rabbi: I see a lot of good directions Joey. How would you like to continue that sentence?
Joey: Landmine of Dreams — An explosion of the dreams that never was chased. Casualty of negative thoughts that swept your dreams away, everyday is a new day to seize the day. This explosion doesn’t cause pain, but a dream not taken can take your breath away.
Rabbi: Landmine of Dreams — Intensity screams out his name on the streets and in the rooftops and in the eyes of all those he sees in passing, embarrassed glances. Some of them know him, but they must look away, because this fine young man, he wants the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
Joey: Landmine of Dreams — So take a moment and watch your step. You do not want to step on the wrong dream or there will be nothing left but the forbidden truth of things you didn’t do and you will know this is true, through a view so new.
Rabbi: Landmine of Dreams — He wants the truth. He wants your heart. He won’t settle for anything less. He wants the soul of the matter, even when everyone else is content with the outer trappings. Speak to him from a place of timelessness. Speak to him from a place of effortlessness. Speak to him with passion. Speak to him from your truth, speak to him with intensity, he won’t, he can’t, settle for anything less!
Joey: Landmine of Dreams — So remember to follow your path with intention to find your true purpose in life. A landmine just takes one explosion and then you’re out of sight. So fight with all your might, that dream is brighter than any light.
White Wonderwall (June 23, 2022)

Green Valley of Hope (June 23, 2022)
By Joey Lowenstein
“The Green Valley of Hope” symbolizes a bright future. Grass is greener on the other side in the moment. But in fact, greener when were hopeful and look ahead. Sometimes we may be stuck in the mud. But even mud turns to grass once the sun dries it and seasons change. Green embodies serenity, life, and new beginnings. I firmly believe in the notion it’s greater later.

Rabbi : The Road of Life — He focuses on the sacred text of his life, to be read and acted upon every day and night, the road goes on forever and he’ll never stop shining his sacred light.

Joey : Love that costs nothing more than my heart, but to start, I must embark, on my love for you is shinier than any jewel I can buy and I’ll tell you why, my love reaches farther than any star in the sky.
Rabbi : Love that costs nothing more than my heart, The love that is available to us all this very minute is endless and priceless, is achievable and accessible, in exchange for the nominal price of an open heart.
Joey : Love that costs nothing more than my heart, the heart I wear on my sleeve, I give to you to inside of me a beautiful view, of something so innocent it looks brand new.
Rabbi : Love that costs nothing more than my heart, seeing your shining light, lighting up the hearts of all who see, allows us all to shine our own hearts, for everyone we come across.

Seasons of the Heart (April 28, 2022)
By Joey Lowenstein
The spring of my heart
The summer of my mind
The fall of my doubt
Leaves the winter behind
Seasons change
And with it, we grow
To know and to learn peace
Is the path I aim to be on
To inspire others to sing their own song
And dance in the spring
And smile in the snow
And let everything fall right in place
Under life’s rainbow

The rush of color
like a river wild
from my finger tips.
The innocence of a child

On the faces of those I come across
from the streets and sand I run across
I aim to be free like my art
speak from my soul
right from my heart.

A Mindset Without The Word Impossible (April 3, 2022)
By Joey Lowenstein
Note: This is Joey’s second poem thought of, and written, all on his own.
A limitless mind has no barriers,
the mind is a powerful thing.
All my life I had limits until I broke free,
the skies the limit.
Believe in yourself and then you will see,
that the view is better on the other side of the tree.
I was once voiceless without a door to run to,
and now my voice is seen and heard through a scenic view.

Sweet Smell of Lavender (April 2022)
By Joey Lowenstein
Note: This is Joey’s first poem thought of, and written, all on his own.
The sweet smell of lavender flowing through my nose,
I love the smell of you as far as a rainbow goes.
As the waves of blue and purple goes through the skies,
I picture a peaceful canvas one done by I.
Making its way through my brain as I close my eyes,
I see a sunset so divine,
I can see the future brighter than the stars on the sky.

First time writing poetry from Aspen, Colorado.
Tomaczek (Friend): Joey it was beautiful to see you out there on the mountain buddy. You got a beautiful smile on your face buddy.
Rabbi: What would you like to call this poem Joey?

Rabbi: The cooler side of the sun — I can see that white wonderland. Looks so, so beautiful behind you. Please do me a favor, fly down those mountains, just like you were always meant to.
Joey: The cooler side of the sun — The early emeralds mist becomes my morning bliss. All I need are for those who’ve come, to be with me on the cooler side of the sun.
Rabbi: The cooler side of the sun — Inspiration glistens in your snowboard eyes. The town of Aspen shines a little bit brighter when you, my friend grace it’s white mountainsides.
Joey: The cooler side of the sun — and all I want is for everyone to relax and chill til the day done, and to be so free like a flying dove, no anxiety, having only love.
Rabbi: The cooler side of the sun — Visions of destiny peek out from behind your mountain chalet window, and your smile lights up your deeply feeling soul.
Joey: The cooler side of the sun — as I glide down the mountain terrain, the rising sun and the soft white snow I realize I am the luckiest person to be alive.

Above the Clouds (January 2022)
Rabbi : Joey how are you doing?
Joey : Totally terrific, it’s always a sweet pleasure to speak with you. Let’s start some poetry. I have a title in mind. It’s called, “Above the Clouds”; I picked this because the almighty creator above is guiding our every move and keeping us in good hands.
Rabbi : I like the fact that you took the initiative to tell me the title and the reason without me asking. It’s a great reason and title, why don’t you start us off Joey?
Joey : Above the clouds, as I look below from the skies and persevere with courageous zest and unleash the love inside my chest.
Rabbi : Above the clouds, clouds are fluffy symbols of the mid-ground between the spiritual and the physical and it reminds us that we can cross that line anytime.
Joey : Above the clouds, for every being on this earth, is like a diamond in what their worth, precious unique, all gods children united together as one.
Rabbi : Above the clouds, in the great beyond, above the sun, there resides the one who knows their thoughts and within this compassion will not ever let us down.
Joey : Above the clouds, the strength i keep is built within so may it be i grow up wise to learn and love without disguise and courageously smile throughout and persevere beyond the doubt.
Rabbi : Above the clouds, the deeper I look inside the farther and higher I can fly and my eyes can see what i’ve never seen before.
Joey : Above the clouds, I aim to be above the clouds where all my worries and doubts are far below beneath my eyes.

Stars Can Shine Without Darkness (January 2022)
J — Love having this superfecta in full affect, it perpetuates great creative sensations which are unearthed each time we convene for a session. It is crazy to think this journey started as a mid teenager growing up in ‘The Big Apple.’

J — Stars Can Shine Without Darkness — A dream come true in the silver nights dreaming big and shinning bright I can see the vision inside the light

J — Stars can shine without darkness — The days that were stormy are now the brightest blue, keep your eyes on the prize. Life is a gift to be treasured every second of the ride.
Y — Stars can shine without darkness — Dreams in the night shine gently but the sensation of hope is what lights our lives
J — Stars can shine without darkness — Even if your dreams are never ending and your ideas are few we have the capability of making (them) come true
Y — Stars can shine without darkness — Don’t get fooled but the constant onslaught of tribulations just keep your chin up and keep yourself surrounded by inspiration
J — Stars can shine without darkness — Looking out on the new horizon I see a dream coming through raising myself to the highest good.

Branches of the Wise Tree (November 17, 2021)
By Joey Lowenstein
The wisest tree bares it all.
Sheds leaves during the fall.
Let the seasons do their thing.
As winter fades they are reborn in spring.
The branches are its arms and legs.
In the woods by the river, the branches are for climbing
and to allow the tree to be a giver and lover.
For others to hang and others to hide,
in the shade away from the sunshine.
Its wisdom is timeless and uprooted for all.
The wisest branch gives love in the fall.

Relinquish Your Thoughts on a New Tomorrow (November 08, 2021)
By Joey Lowenstein
Let go of your thoughts of a new tomorrow
and stay awake in the present moment.
That’s the key to life.
The magic of the moment is where God and love reside.
So many people are stuck in the future or the past,
yet in the moment is where happiness can be found
and truth reveal itself.
I try my hardest to relinquish hope in the next day
and strive to absorb the current one
with the utmost positive attitude each day.

To Be in a State of Acceptance (December 2020)
J — Let go of those heavy burdens and expect the plan is bigger than your worries
Y — Accept all that comes down from the One Above as being the very best possible of all possible scenarios
J — What will be — is what will be — take the power of acceptance and become what they say wouldn’t happen and take the glory and run with it to the finish line
Y — Be and see and think and feel that all is good — and all that you will encounter will be absolutely good
J — Walk the holy roads and accept that you are created to stand out — enjoy the beauty of becoming
Y — When I see the goodness in me even when others not would see — then I ultimately will be accepted as I am
J — Then you will find the key to happiness — unlocking those heavy chains that were holding you back
Y — Those heavy chains are cast aside — by the peace of mind that you will find when you accept it all as is
J — Accepting what it is — letting go of what you thought was real — protect your peace— follow your instincts— they shall lead you to the united spirits of acceptance
Y — To be in a state of acceptance— is the best way to find the golden character traits that are yours for the asking
J — Learning and developing these traits — is your key role in your destiny — so approach with caution and stay connected — and everything will work magic
Y — Accept all that comes down from the One Above as being the very best possible of all possible scenarios
Blessings, Yitzchak and Joey

Light (December 2020)
J — Lights everywhere stay in tune to the inner spirits in our soul — shine bright and let go of heavy burdens
Y — May your insights join with the insights of many light filled sages
J — Seek His love — and find your inner peace — and take this throne and put it to good use
Y — May the dawn of history’s ever increasing — light lead the way — and have no fear — many people are waiting to hear every word you say
J — For we are a bit broken inside — this is how lights get in — now take this fruit and make it whole again
Y — Just listen to the still small voice — the still small voice — inspired by the power of ‘no choice’ — it will resonate in the recesses of your soul
J — Season of mists fulfill these commitments — and take this light and brighten up the days of who needs it the most
Y — And display how the person you are now is the revelation of the person you were — and the impetus of the one who you are coming to be
J — For I have the lights to guide you on — now stay strong in the midst of storms — I shall lead you to the brightest of your dark days
Y — Dear creature of light — seer of sublime sights — know that the greater the darkness, the greater is the light inside
J — I’m not going to stop — I shall come to the light and keep it on — so everyone could gather together and shine bright
Y — And you don’t have to believe me — just look deeply into the holy light — it will show you how your life is unfolding splendidly
Blessings, Yitzchak and Joey
