Questions in Time

What are the analogs?

Can you find them?

What are the variants?

Are you one of them?

What are the answers?

Do you have them?

What are the choices?

Can you make them?

What does tomorrow hold?

Sleep, then arise and forge it.

Tomorrow ever after — and within.
    (The tendrils within.)

Tomorrow ever after, amen.

Signals are corruptible, as are people.

Sequences aren't tamper proof, and neither is the collective.

Information is subjective, and can be subjugated, just like the masses.

Trust, but verify.

Use your brain and your strength, but don't let your heart become black ice and don't let your soul become stained with hate.

Never abandon prayer; not to spite the naysayers, but in spite of them.

And through it all, make certain that it's known, come hell or high water, "Don't tread on me."

Beliefs are boundaries.

Because everything that lives eventually dies.

Because everything that is known is still just the tip of the iceberg.

Because intentions, actions, and outcomes are often viewed through the lens of consequence.

Creativity is all about ideas in motion. And the will—the fortitude—to keep moving,
threading,
and transforming with them.

 
About

A basic "ideas" notebook became its own subject matter and was transformed into a highly stylized version of itself (thanks to the perpetual chaos and tranquility of a creative space stitched with tendrils).

I rise when the sun yawns," said the vampire.

"I prowl when the moon is a white hole in the night," said the werewolf.

"I haunt the living when the clock strikes midnight," said the ghost.

"I come ashore when the tide is high," said the sea monster.

"I appear on the left shoulder whenever the opportunity presents itself — which is often," said the Devil. And the Devil smiled.

The others felt a chill go up their spines.

There are signs of maturity that often go unseen —
The scars,
The stitches,
The scrapes,
And the dents that the heart collects over time.

Unseen, that is, until they surface in form of perseverance,
Patience,
And discipline.

We spend far too much time trying to get into the spotlight, or to be the "I" of the limelight—to become the "star" for all to see—and not enough time trying to stay in the God-light (but doing a fine job of acting like a deer in Satan's headlights).

Know the completeness,
Of a pilgrim in progress.

Danger! Identity Amalgamation

The danger of interaction.
A little of you rubs off on me.
A little of me can be seen in you.
Identity loss? Or, identity amalgamation?

The danger of appreciation.
Liking leads to evaluating,
Which leads to understanding,
Which can lead to adaptation, then incorporation.
Identity loss? Or, identity amalgamation?

The danger of influence.
Teacher. Role model. Leader. Hero.
Whose voice is the one in your head?
Identity loss? Or, identity amalgamation?

The danger of imitation.
To be derivative.
To be a second rate knockoff.
To cross the line and become a thief.
Identity lost. Identity theft.
Game over.

The Geometry of Life

Birth to death — the circle of life.

There is no equilateral in a love triangle.
But there are three sides to the story.
(To every story.)

The dunce cap — the cone of disgrace.

Sacred shapes?

Perhaps.

But all-in-all, what we really want is three square meals a day, a triangular roof over our heads, and a few gold bars in the bank.

And when the final curtain is pulled, a six-sided coffin would be nice, though a four-sided casket will do just fine.

As I rounded the bend the sentry spotted me at the same time that I spotted it, and we froze.

With our eyes locked, I couldn't help but wonder, which of us was the watcher and which of us was the watched?

But the only question that truly mattered was primal and not philosophical: which of us would strike first?

Recently I came across the original version of this piece and I winced. The original's dark, overly saturated reds—an attempt to call to the mind the surface of the Red Planet—seemed like a good idea at the time.

Thank goodness remixes aren't limited to music. At least not in my mind. >^)
