"My heart beats to the rhythm of creativity,
a syncopated 4/4 beat leading me up the spiral
of consciousness dancing itself into fire-animated clay.
The Creative dons the veils of the senses, strip tease in reverse;
layers of light, color, density and texture disclose natural patterns and rhythms 
contouring the lush liquid hills and valleys of the myndscape,
the mysterious realm of memory, metaphor and imagination
that perpetually reveals us to ourselves:
living, breathing, works of art in the making."
