Must have a strong background in: * Facilitating the flow of forces harmonious. (Clear intent is needed to keep mirror images free of fog.) * Serving as a Self-starter. (Knowledge of what sparks are and how they differ from illumination.) * Art creation. (Hands-on experience with end results that are less important than the process.)

Really… what is the reason we do anything? Well, the above Thank You note is a hell of a fine one. Learn stuff. Do things. Make art. Pass on whatever you've learned along the way. Good. Bad. For All. For None. It worked for you. It didn't do a goddamn thing for me… Whatever.…

Each reader a gift and time is priceless. My gratitude to you for reading this sentence. Our path crossed, a message transmitted and received. What fun to wonder where words end up when I put away the scratchpad. I'd venture a guess these scribbles remain responsive despite their micro-sized presence in the Mighty Blogosphere. I'm…

Perfect moments always include a dog, a book, and a comfortable chair. This is the elusive silver bubble, encapsulated. Slip in, zip up, and never come out again. Happiness is hard to define.

You'll get your supper sure enough. What difference does it make if it's a worm or a cricket?" "Well, there's the texture thing.…

Who doesn't prefer a well-crafted fable to mere information? If words are tucked between glossy covers, or spoken by a pair of moist pouty lips (extra points for an exotic accent), they have to be true enough for everyday use. Belief-On-Demand. That'll work, right? Secrets held tight. Dreams fade in the daylight. Our darlings are…

Things That Inspire: Obsession isn't one of them. Mindless attachment to objects and places sure doesn't warrant admiration. Imitation drains the spirit but people feel flattered by it just the same. No, can't say a facsimile thrills me. Neither does blind devotion to a specific outcome. I deduct points for every sign that goes unnoticed.…

Warren Peese gave me some really good advice recently. He said (in no particular order): 1. Get your ass out of the past.2. When blurring lines, be sure to keep the work creative and wholly your own, and;3. If you see dancing ducks, flying rabbits, or high-fiving voles in the chaotic data onslaught we're all…
