Two of Swords - The Contest Of Beauty

Troy—a name most know, and the location of one of the most famed wars of ancient history. The Trojan War is well-known, fought between the Greeks and the Trojans at the city gates of Troy. It’s said it was set in motion by a single woman. As much as I’d love to believe—being a female myself—that we meant so much to men that they would fight near decade-long battles for us, I feel it’s more…

My Journey Into Greek Mythology Over The Last Three Years

I started playing around with creating A.I. art a few years back and thought to myself, “How could I use this amazing new technology for something other than filling my hard drive with pretty images?” I decided to try designing my own tarot deck, taking inspiration from one of my favorite decks: Legend:…

The Dark of Night The Light of Day

The Dark of Night The Light of Day

Dark of Night, Light of Day. The stars in the heavens fade away while slowly in the east rises the light of day. The darkness of night has no place left to cling; it can not remain, eventually it will fade as quickly as it came and light will take its place until dusk returns to make its claim and the dark of night will once again devour the days departing light. The only light remaining in the…

Faith In Something

I would not say it is religion or church that hurts. The truth is there are many very wonderful places of worship with wonderful people. Regardless of your belief or religion, the fact remains in any bucket of apples there is bound to be a few rotten ones. I doubt that there are any religions or beliefs that have not been used by people to manipulate others for their own self-gain whatever that…

Love Defined ~ My Personal Definition of Love

“ Love to me is not simple or easy to define, it is a concept difficult to explain and for some to understand.“

“Sometimes it can be a challenge, even an obstacle. However, it can also be the key to overcoming those very challenges and surmounting obstacles.“

“Love can feel like a paradox, providing us with both a problem and a solution, while stirring and complicating emotions and…

Our Fate

– Mahatma Gandhi

Who is right and who is wrong? The world forever sings this song. War and disease, uncertain peace. Everyone wishes they could be free, how much innocents will die for another man’s greed?

Why fight over what we think we need? What purpose is there in causing so much pain and suffering? Why so much hate and fear of what is different from you or me?

Understanding…

The Amazing Human Race

The Amazing Human Race

How amazingly powerful our minds are! We make things work the way we choose, We create the rules and change them along the way. We have far more power than we know. We can create something out of nothing. We do not walk the same path as the other creatures. We walk a path entirely our own. A path of creation and destruction. We wield the power of our minds, at times quite carelessly.

“ We…
