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”

Beatdown to Liftoff – An epiphany

Sometimes we are beat down so much by the travails of life that it seems intolerable at best. Are we being punished? Is it that we aren’t loved? Have we been forsaken? But… Maybe it is something else. Perhaps it is to reinforce a familiarity with the ground, the depths, that distance from our greatestContinue reading “Beatdown to Liftoff – An epiphany”

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.

I will not cry out in agony, instead I will cry out to the Almighty. Asking… In humility. Creator, Father, Mother, Divine Omnipotence, Lord. Not for an escape, but forContinue reading “Foundations – An epiphany”

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”

Savoring the simple

I search for venues like this for one simple reason, one that is often overlooked and that I have written endlessly about… Sanity. Being in the midst of solace gives me something that I am unable to get anywhere else, a conduit to an indefatigable supply of sanity. Is sanity a state of being, anContinue reading “Savoring the simple”
