Your insides are twisted coming outside fraying at the seams. And pushing ahead pulls you under. Hungry, and needing to be filled, you give yourself over – listen for the voice that does not come yet you remain a stranger – suspended but sometimes we break. And you resist hold while what you need recedes. [...]

I See Music – Angel
July 2, 2010 – 1:00 am
Fear calls; pushes, pulls, sets me adrift and leaves me… I cannot anchor. The shore fades. There is nothing now but riding the waves. No way in, no way out. I just need to ride the waves. Sink deep. Let fear overcome. Be consumed. Tasted. Swallowed. And in the moments of my darkest fear; when [...]

The Case of 3am
April 30, 2010 – 1:00 am
I frequently wake at 3 in the morning with an intense case of the ceiling-stares. You can learn a lot about yourself when you’re laying in the dark, chasing fleeting thoughts and shadow ghosts. Vivid imagery will dance across my mind, taunting and teasing with intensity so deep I’m compelled to create. Yet sometimes the [...]

April 28, 2010 – 1:00 am
Sifting through the endless stacks of fabric, I was startled when the door flung open to reveal a walking cloud of UPS piss and vinegar. The year was 2003. Nelly Furtado had just released Folklore, the much-anticipated follow-up album to Whoa Nelly and wouldn’t you know, this delivery guy was ticked. All these years later, [...]
Volcanoes & Creative Juice
April 19, 2010 – 1:00 am
There are some projects that slowly seep into your creative consciousness like a leaking faucet. Drip… there’s the window treatment… drip… there’s the wall colour… drip… there’s the moulding profile… drip… drip… aaaaaand, project finished. Then there are the, “Dude, what the hell happened to my creative juice?” sort of projects. Like, crickets. As in, [...]
