What an interesting video I just found. This link was sent to me by my brother Nate Forte. This is such an interesting and beautiful perspective of the Creative process. She is so close to the truth. She is walking right next to it without realizing it. Watch it and let me know what you [...]
Redefining Excellence
To redefine the Pursuit of Excellence in the Creative Arts. I have become impassioned. Not just me. I dare you to call up your closest peer that you know to be an artist of some sort. A painter, sculptor, writer, musician, singer, dancer, director, actor/actress. Ask them. Where is our culture headed in regards to [...]
The Purpose Conundrum
I just really like the word conundrum. Why are we? Who are we? What is our Purpose on Earth? These are questions that even Christians who boast to have all the answers ask quite frequently. My question today is not really about why we are here on Earth but closer to: Why do we keep [...]

This has been some of the roughest goodbyes I have ever experienced. This semester has been a mess of emotions. Ups [...]

The sun has risen [...]
An Easter Sunday
Truly, it is a sight indescribable. Our bodies moved to a pulsating beat. All the while large crystals fell from the heavens They collected and gathered in community. Our forms were stilled before the awing view. Ground covered white in the purest snow White purity spread covering the crimson grass Blood has been shed, blood [...]
