Calling All Wizards

The wizard archetype is one of the most beloved and truly inspiring that humans have come up with. Who doesn't love Merlin, Gandalf, Dr. Strange... even Dumbledore?

They are wisdom personified, and the perfect model of a powerful older person.  Someone whose knowledge and personal life force make them more than a match for any dozen people half or a third their age.  Someone who wouldn't surprise you if they lived to 10,000.

Spring, Grass & Rainbow Unions

...

Spring is finally here.

It was a long and hard winter. 

Of Inspiration, Music & Moving Forward

Well...

Well, here goes... 

This is certain to be a post that will rub some of you the wrong way. I apologize in advance, and can only say that this is an important topic. Whether or not people like to hear about it, or if it is considered politically correct to address it...

Broken Hearts Are Made Of Stone

They say broken hearts are made of stone, and there may be something to this old adage.  I want to delve into this a bit, but I also want to engage with whoever might want to discuss heartbreak and how we grow numb to it over time.

Goal!

Oh yeah!

It is the most awesome thing in creation when an awakened mind finds something to focus on, and determines that the dream being conjured is good..  

Crossroads

Well...

There are times in one's life where the stability and miserability one comes to expect in "normal" living----> vanish in thin air.   

Mastery

Sunwukong by fuckorange

Like most of you, I am interested in... obsessed, perhaps, by the concept of mastery. There is truly nothing more breathtaking or inspiring than to witness a true master at work.  It matters not what their art may be, their utter genius makes a fan even of people who would normally be averse to the form.
