The primary reason I took up this challenge this year was to get myself back in touch with my inner spirit. I needed to remind myself that no matter how dark things might appear … as long as there are those who continue to create, the darkness will never be complete. I also needed to […]
To me, creativity is not a character trait but a separate force that each of us has access to. It is like an internal glow that radiates ever outward. How it manifests does not depend on the strength of the glow. Rather it is determined by the filters it passes through. It is those filters […]
It is often said that the eyes are the windows to the soul. There is little doubt of the truth of this observation … at least for those who pay attention. I believe that we can rearrange the words a bit and express another, more subtle truth: Windows are the eyes of the soul. Think […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]I am writing a book. This is not news to some, an interesting fact to others, a meaningless mess of images to some others … and many other things to still many other people. Actually, I am writing several books, but THIS book … this book is special. It is going to be a best […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] My journey of late has become more metaphysical than physical. Who knew that would be the more painful adventure? I love mirrors. Well, to be more accurate, I love reflective surfaces. To me they are like gateways to other worlds; doorways to What If. They are spark plugs for the imagination engine … ready […]
Now that the nature of my journey has changed, I am beginning to see the world differently. Where I have been … Damascus … is a crossroads of sorts. Physically it is a bit of nowhere that somehow connects many different pathways. It is nature and man-made trying to find a balance. Yet spiritually, it […]
Today was the kind of day where I needed some pure silliness. The 100 Word Challenge for Grown Ups often offers just what I need to wax nutty, and this week’s challenge worked well for it. The challenge: …the hairs on my arms stood up… On the surface ripe for a horror story or such, […]
For me communing with nature is the ultimate restorative. Sure mankind has made many wondrous things, and much life and beauty can be found in the “civilized” world as well. But sadly no matter how stimulating the world of man can be, it is also always shadowed by mankind’s alternate side. Everywhere man touches has its beauty, but it […]
The other day, I did something I have not done in a very long time, yet something that should be a staple of my soul’s diet. I communed with nature for a bit. As many of my recent posts have indicated, I am struggling with a lot of things at the moment … all which […]
I am in a rather weird place lately. Not so much my physical location. That has not changed and is no more weird (or not weird) then it ever was. I live in purgatory (a.k.a. suburbia) so not much changes here. Not much actually happens here for that matter. If one wishes to find signs […]
