Developing - rAveNswAn

This is about budding relationships…

You plant the seeds.

You provide sun.

You provide water.

But will the flower bloom against life’s adversities?

The optimist in me screams, “Yes!”

Tears Of The Silver Lining - rAveNswAn

And when she cries

An angel spreads its wings…

An angel spreads its wings and flies

And with the gale force wind of its wings

It tries

To stop the flood

To save heaven…

The safe haven in the clouds

From the argent veil that shrouds

The Man Whose Essence Is Off - rAveNswAn

The Man Whose Essence Is Off is a storyline I have always imagined as a series of Saturday Night Live skits…when Saturday Night Live was funny.

I think The Man Whose Essence Is Off’s premise is ripe for many comedic scenarios, but I’ve been wrong before. It’s never stopped me from trying.

Evidence of the Footfalls of Freedom - rAveNswAn

Wrote Evidence of the Footfalls of Freedom and published it in the This Journal Belongs To Jakeb Hoke collection with the novel, Through the Kindness of Ravens.

Evidence of the Footfalls of Freedom was inspired by something I had read in one or more of many books on the Revolutionary War. A commander of the Continental Army had written in their journal how they had looked down at the ground from riding their horse beside the marching army to find many of the soldiery were barefoot and bleeding on the snow.

A Million Grains Of Sand - rAveNswAn

Woke up this morning with a goal that before I got up and out of bed I would have a concept with which to write around. I’m not sure where it came from, but within a few minutes I thought of a million grains of sand…and how a million grains seems like a lot, but how the distance they span is probably not that far. That thought then jumped to how some of life’s issues explode into seemingly huge events, only to find we’ve made mountains out of molehills. It may have put a million grains of sand between us, but only a hundred steps to make up the ground.

Full Throttle Aristotle - rAveNswAn

Tap the synergy

Full throttle

Cap the energy

Full bottle

What we bring to the table

Where it all starts

The whole always greater than

The sum of its parts


Full throttle

Aristotle

That’s full throttle
