Mirrors

Blessed is the mirror
Drinking from your wisdom.
The mystic is silent,
The child has her wonder.
Pilgrims awaken
To the gods within them.
From is-ness to am-ness,
I am that I am.
My future beholds me
Yet nothing is foretold.
Priests are no prophets,
And prophets - led astray.
Your presence is sacred
Beyond the holiness of temples.
May I drink Life from your cool palms
And find calmness in your essence?

Neil Postman, one of the most eloquent media theorists and a cultural critics of the 20th century, claimed that every technological innovation has its own agenda. Once we adopt the new invention, we become (mostly without realizing it!) part of its manner of dictating the rules of reality. The same, I believe, holds true for any system, culture, tradition, community, country and policy, when embraced in a blind and desperate rush. In order to benefit from it, we’re required to comply with its postulates. In order to be accepted, we’re often asked to leave out most of what makes us

Musings on Creative Freedom

As an artist, creator and thinker, a llow yourself to: be fully born do nothing make/do something for yourself only play for play's sake change your mind and rethink your identity, brand, values, principles, opinions if you deem it necessary build upon the work of others integrate all that you are into what you create start where you are with what you've got impose your own limitations and rules to up your art game a notch build a habit and unlearn it if you wish make stuff and destroy it from time to time not allow everyone's opinion to be the measure of your work's worth and affect your desire to create appear and disappear authentically express yourself even if it means you might upset someone create work that feeds your soul (not just your ego!) ask questions others have not asked before answer questions that others have already answered but you haven't yet not say anything if you don't feel you've got something to say hurry slowly s
