My dream is to explore and express the unspeakable truths of the human condition. I dream of living in a space where I may relate the sanctity of human ‘Being’ through word born of direct-felt experience. In an age where proclamations of the death of God thunder through the sky under miasmic clouds, In an age where man enters into a technological revolution of inconceivable consequence, In an age where the Reaper's cloak hovers over the entire earth Wielding his scythe in the form of atom bombs, Do I wish to preserve the essence of humanity. To preserve what it ‘means’ to be human. From the depths of my Being do I wish to speak on matters that may help reawaken the souls of those who's ears can hear the message. We must relearn to see, to recognize, to acknowledge 'the other' that lies immediately beyond the grasp of our limited perception - And thus I dare. I dare to attempt to expand the conscious light of man so that he may relish in an embrace with the sublime. I dare to attempt to create out of word an incantation of the senses to the infinite. I dare to walk on horizons, in a world in between worlds so that a bridge may be rebuilt between bounded and the transcendent. Through our humanity is where our divinity may reside And in our divinity, perhaps, resides a boundless love and appreciation for the nature of Being.
