introduction feel. the essence of mental, emotional and spiritual reverberations that travel through the cosmos into the bone. the causation of love and passion and purpose and pain and stress and anger and confusion and all those other words that cause us to acknowledge somethings existence, relevance and importance. from seconds to days to years, we surmise our lives by these moments. the ones when we laughed so loud, when we cried so hard, when we prayed for so long, when we held on to something worth fighting for...and that is what we remember, that is what we die to live for. feel. a brilliance of breaking, of colliding, of combining celestial elements into these piles of dirt we call bodies. its breathtaking, its breath giving, of wonder and awe, this constant exchange between heaven and earth, from soul into body, from faith to manifestation, between God and man, between your heart and mind, and between you and me.
vessel
feel. vessels of star dust, we are, temporal beings, made of clay, filled with agony and glory. leaving fingerprints on an earth that spins 1000 miles per hour, around a ball of fire in a galaxy that contains itself through a supernatural contract that was signed between God and His creation before time was even created. and so here you are, on this day, at this hour, at this time, reading a bunch of my mumbo jumbo badly written sentences, as an introduction into my human experience. and for that, i thank you. welcome in, to an anthology of eclectic and collaged imagery expressing my emotions, experiences and revelations expressed through inspirational and experimental art works. welcome in, to feel me, by touching my spirit.
