Creator Journals 10/13/25 I got a haircut today and I don’t hate it. Haircut used to always make me feel weird, but I think I’ve locked down a style that I feel sort of comfortable with. Off day. Took me all afternoon to revise chapter 3. I still feel like it could get better, butContinue reading “Facing Darker Layers”

Give It Some Spirit
Creator Journals 6/29/25 My spirit is churning. My trip out of town is continuing this week, so I still haven’t had any time to write, but I am going to see the new How To Train Your Dragon movie. I do not expect it to be good. The original was amazing and a live actionContinue reading “Give It Some Spirit”
Creator Journals 6/4/25
The fog is clearing and I’m excited about my story again. My only real issue is that I’m at work, and work is busy. I love my job, but my soul is being depleted. I pray there are enough particles of Me left to write a few hundred words at Starbucks after I leave. FindingContinue reading “Creator Journals 6/4/25”
Creator Journals 5/12/25
Yesterday I went birdwatching. This is not something I regularly do. It’s something I pretty much never do. I was invited to join others who were doing it. All the same, I started to notice how much can be gained from spending time in slow observation. I’ve been creating fictionalized facsimiles of nature by writingContinue reading “Creator Journals 5/12/25”
WD 210 “Weird Sisters”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. Weird Sister You can’t take my eyes from me Across the lines Blurring together into fathomless fog I want to guide myself by sense of touch By taste of tongue By ripples of motion in the bleakness There comes a time when all must trade theirContinue reading “WD 210 “Weird Sisters””
WD 208 “Edge of Dream”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. Edge of Dream It’s genetic They say The trials of birth leave a mark on The mind of a child Of ghostly origin tell me nothing Of spirit imbued, leave it in the apocrypha And if I’m too hasty to label myself existent Tell the judgesContinue reading “WD 208 “Edge of Dream””
WD 193 “A Command”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. A Command Wash me clean with recollections of A time long past, when things And thoughts were simpler Active but quiet, a fermentation point for vibrating particles Of sand, not yet glass Your waves crashing into my sternum like morning light breaking Juliet’s window A curse,Continue reading “WD 193 “A Command””
WD 186 “The Art”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. The Art Transubstantiation in the blood transfusion You are an artist, and all you’re paints turn to blood Turn to wine The holiest of holies A quaking cavern rumbling with lion’s roars But His voice is small and quiet Creation comes through the benefit of theContinue reading “WD 186 “The Art””
WD 168 “Breathing Exit”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. Breathing Exit Simple thoughts Fly into my mind like they are Drawn to rotten meat When we exit this space what becomes of the cosmic symmetry? The cracked surface between mirror and air And can we begin to manifest An exile into being -All night IContinue reading “WD 168 “Breathing Exit””
WD 88 “Sons of Whatever”
A verse inscribed in Fire and Light. Sons of Whatever Fungi Myxomycota is the name of a species that is neither plant nor animal. It nourishes itself by photosynthesis. It needs sunlight to live. The Fungi Myxomycota reproduces asexually, splitting its cells down the middle, into two separate beings; yet, when injured, the solid massContinue reading “WD 88 “Sons of Whatever””
