Creativity. To be inspired, to be moved by art, beauty, winning performance, dance, music, painting, sculpture, writing, even articulating dissent, the human voice, the human body, ecstasy, heights we aspire to…
making connections matter is primarily about creativity – spirit becoming real, bringing ideas (thoughts which seem to come out of thin air) to life. Inspiration arises out of matter (the real, conscious mind, thought) connecting with spirit (the Muse, the source of inspiration) and then spirit itself becoming matter, becoming real through the new idea. Imaginative spirit, bringing ideas to life.
I work to bring ideas to life through poetry. This site displays several of my published and unpublished poems. I also value the power of performance, of theatre, of poetry being brought alive without the written page.
