November 6, 2009 | Posted by admin The last six months have been a bit of a ride – not only writing and publishing my first novella, but being plunged into the depths of marketing. In the midst of it all, I have not had as much time to just do what I love – write.
Today, I got re-inspired. A writing club [...]

September 2, 2008 | Posted by admin calling, calling
I have heard
the whispers too long
deaf to their demands
they shift their form to
rustling of the grass through my fingertips
crunching of broken leaves under my steps
and I remember
I’ve missed listening
truths they speak
power of expression
humility of a gift
challenge of capturing
that one moment
that one breath
chiding, chiding
bestowing a blessing
a responsibility
creation
create
care
about the calling
that I alone cannot answer
until my words [...]

July 18, 2008 | Posted by admin In order to better my own art (and just because I find it interesting), I like to talk to other folks about their own creativity process in whatever art they work in – whether it be photography, sculpture, design or theatre.
A sort of creative cross-training, so to speak.
A talented photographer that I know, Jonathan (check [...]

July 6, 2008 | Posted by admin It’s easy enough to click on the Send/Receive button in our Inbox. But, receiving is an undertaking that requires more than one would think.
My last month of work has been insightful in many ways. In order to get all my tasks completed, I’ve worked weekends this past month, often till eight pm on many nights. [...]

April 26, 2008 | Posted by admin let the water take me
running on
running free
dip my hands into
its flow
time as its current
meaning left behind
like the bedrock
under sand
cooling off
moving on
letting go
create
anew

a little poem inspired by Human Being’s series of pictures
her blessings spread in many ways …

April 8, 2008 | Posted by admin I have no seeds to spare,
I gently told the crow,
You flew into my realm
sowing stories upon the wind
weaving color into my day
though I have little of value
to offer in exchange
For I have no seeds to spare,
my hands are rough with work,
but I can guide you where
a spring runs fresh and
bursts forth in words and grace
though [...]

March 29, 2008 | Posted by admin that’s what Thoreau says …
Here are other wise words for writers or for anyone who has a passion and seeks to pursue it …
My suggestion is that you start with the love and then work very hard and try to let go of the results. Cast out your will, and then cut the line.
- Elizabeth [...]

if I were a season
I’d choose to be spring
the precipice of growth
emerging
unfolding
evolving
the cusp of creativity
when even words cannot capture what is possible
“Spring has returned. The Earth is like a child that knows poems.”
- Rainer Maria Rilke

March 3, 2008 | Posted by admin the great thing about taking time

reading other pieces out there is considered work

i’ve found tons of gems in the last 48 hours …
(makes me wonder what else i’m missing in our world)
but i couldn’t pass up sharing this blog [...]

January 14, 2008 | Posted by admin I babysat my two nieces (6 and 4 years old) and my nephew last night (17 mos.).
Getting desperate to keep them entertained before we hit bedtime, I proposed an old favorite game of theirs that I had invented about a year ago.
“Sleeping Dragon” I called it.
To be honest, the game allowed me a bit of [...]
