A positive, and in particular a romantic, fantasy can be easily visualized as a tunnel or cave entrance filled with bright light. It draws you toward it with the life inside that is illuminated so brightly. They are truly beautiful. If you approach one in your mind, you can step inside, and for a momentContinue reading “On fantasies”

A true friend
You look kind of down, is everything okay? I’m doing okay, well, actually I’m not, I’m kind of going through a lot right now. I don’t have any friends, and I’m afraid no one loves me. That’s a lot, I’m really sorry to hear that you’re going through that. Thanks, that means a lot. IContinue reading “A true friend”
Who am I?
This probably won’t come as much of a surprise to the people in my life who know me the best, but I have recently found that I no longer identify as a Christian. It wasn’t really something that I chose consciously, but found that it was happening to me, almost against my will. It hadContinue reading “Who am I?”
A Human Life
A human life is an artefact that we build throughout the time that we are alive. Every choice–every action–leaves something behind. These are small drops in a vast ocean, but nonetheless they cause ripples which affect the world in more and more complex ways as time goes on. Over time, these ripples shape the worldContinue reading “A Human Life”

When I was growing up in the Church, I was always told that Jesus lived inside of my heart. I believed that to be true, but I always wondered why I couldn’t feel his presence there. Surely if the Son of God lived inside of my heart, I would be able to tell. It wasn’tContinue reading “Searching for God”
Balance
Jung said that if one wants to ascend to the heavens he must first descend into the depths. Jung himself was forced to go through a period of psychosis before he could find fulfillment in his life and make progress developing his theories. He himself said that it was only because of those dark timesContinue reading “Balance”
The Voices of the Depths
The following short story/myth was recorded while I was meditating and drifting in and out of liminal hypnogogia. It has been lightly edited. Far off the shore of the land of Terramar, in the Oneiral Ocean, there is a place where the mists gather together thickly, hiding both the sun by day and the starsContinue reading “The Voices of the Depths”
A Song to Save
“We’ve got another coaster,” said Captain Emily Riviera grimly as the pulsing phosphorescence of the emergency lights bathed the bridge in a red glow. It was the end of what had been a long and uneventful shift, so naturally the songs had been terrible and Riviera was tired and ready for a few hours inContinue reading “A Song to Save”
Mary’s Accusation
I am staring at a painting of Christ. The colors are bright and composed primarily of yellows, browns, and reds. The painting has the feeling of a renaissance work, but is also reminiscent of an Eastern Orthodox icon. Christ is portrayed sitting on the ground with long brown hair flowing down the front of hisContinue reading “Mary’s Accusation”
