Ask someone what the first words that come to mind when you say “ocean”. Waves, beach, fish, sun, water, salt, boats; and maybe for the more progressive minded folks out there – erosion, oil spills, extinction, pollution, etc. When I think ocean, I think of the collective consciousness of the people on earth. The individual streams all leading to the […]
Ignition sequence start. It looks so beautiful up here. The oceans glow. The cities pulse with yellow energy. The mountains separate the land. There is no war.

My heart is filled with anger. My actions fueled by hate. My eyes are tinged with pain. Why am I cursed? Why am I afflicted with this possibly deadly illness? What did I do to deserve this life of constant struggle and grief? Those are just the cards I was dealt. You can’t ask for a reshuffle. There is no […]
Our day is filled with an onslaught. We are bombarded with life. Even more so we are bombarded with how terrible our life is compared to others.

What do you see when you close your eyes? Do you just see black? Do you see color? Do you see dreams? Or do you not think about it?

They assault the senses but do people really see them. Do people really understand them. They are emotion. They are ideas. They are memories. They are undefinable. Beams of light cast on a surface determined by what spectrum decides to show it’s face. We give them names and classify them into temperatures. We pick favorites and buy products that profess […]
You drift off to sleep. Your mind begins to form a world in itself, ready to take you off on a journey. You want a peaceful nights rest, but it does not come. Instead, a series of terrifying events and circumstances barrage your subconscious and stir you from your slumber. You have had a nightmare. Now lay your head back […]
