If it isn’t heavy, it should be

If it weren’t for the scourge of short memories and wanton impatience, we would remember that… Our faith should always be heavier than our burdens, so that which casts shadows in our path  can be supplanted with the glory that is stored up for us.

The art of creating

My passions are clustered closely together, sharing the commonality of creation. Whether it is my excursions into the depths of nature, earnestly searching for the face of God, but being content with hearing his heartbeat. Or my cobbling together of words in an effort to make sense of my place, my role on this planet.Continue reading “The art of creating”

Food for the soul – An epiphany

As for me consistent inconsistency should be heralded, applauded and embraced, it keeps me nimble. Human beings are fickle and the pedestals we place them on are often of shoddy quality as the materials that we use, are often comprised of our expectations.

The one medium where lasting enhancement has been procured for millenia, via the pages of a book… Is seen as an oddity of sorts. Breasts, abdominals, buttocks, hair… But the brain, why would anyone waste their time onContinue reading “Epiphanies: Enhancements, implants and futility”

Let the wrecking ball swing – An epiphany

An epiphany is tantamount to the sweetest melody. When that chord vibrates, it has the propensity to shake the very foundation of what we consider sacred. Ourselves. I’ve realized that I must have the wherewithal to let the demolition ensue so that I can build anew. The fear of losing who I am, who IContinue reading “Let the wrecking ball swing – An epiphany”
