Hope Sustained (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Veering away from an essay this month to unwind into art. I hope you enjoy this time-lapse video of a collage art page, along with a song I wrote and composed.Lyrics: I buried my fear beneath green fire,Paint under my fingernails, ash inside my skin.A crystal world turning in my open hands,No predicting tomorrow,Only remember I survived yesterday.Logic built the map.Imagination opened the gate.I gather the broken things.The flowers that bloomed through rubble.<
