Artists Who Stare

Image
  Artists who Stare into their Creative Self Vignette There is a reckoning in the soul of every artist. It begins as a tremor, a flicker of light, almost imperceptible, yet relentless in hunger. That precise moment when the artist is alone, silhouetted against the radiance of an internal inferno and stares unflinchingly into their creative self. They dwell in the space between inspiration and doubt, bathed in the glow of possibilities and tormented by the fear of mediocrity. To exceed the ordinary, the artist knows, is both a blessing and a curse. Each touch, each word, each act of creation becomes a paradox: an offering to eternity but rooted in the fleeting frailty of the present. What if they fail? What if the light within, so achingly bright, burns them to ash rather than illuminating their path? The act of creation is no longer a choice; it has become a necessity. There is no turning back. Like a lone figure before the furnace of their own making, the artist surrenders to the ...

Darwin streets on a motorcycle: James Hird

Leadership and the scream of fault. It seems to go so slow, Then when it happens, it seems so fast. Once within,' Once within a psychological grip, Once within responsive emergence, Once within reptilian consciousness. The scream of fault, The empathy, the denial, the bloodlet. Only baggage from this point on. Where does James Hird find gain? What responsibilities should I pass onto his burden? How many opinions should he attend to? Within this dangerous intersection of loss. How do leaders gain the necessary abilities to enter and navigate dangerous intersections.

Within a new place On a new map within a new landscape. A new environment of values ...

Darwin street on a motorcycle: Rapid Creek Intersection

If only intersections in life were as simple. Rule regimentation and certainty of course. But you know that I know, and I know that you know, this passage is about unknowns. The passage is not free, but it is? The passage is directed by unconscious decision making. -STOP- Cars = 1 ton of death It is about time, space and particles smashing. Each particle a death note. The intersection is seemingly passive, under the control of purpose. When error occurs it's a death intersection. If it is so hard to see danger in this intersection, how is it possible within a point in life.

Darwin Streets on a motorcycle: Sprigg

The starting point This is the starting point. However, my starting points are flexible and never reliable. For this reason I have started in the middle. Although a street has a starting and finishing point, the stories of in-between are what I am interested in. There is nothing ordinary in ordinary. You don't have to be a christian to be a christian. You don't have to be an American to feel powerful. You don't have to ride a motorcycle to feel the road. The problem is, there is too much road.
