Art, Love, Spirituality, Oneness

A.L.S.O.

I am keen to continue writing, to explore my world – in my head and outside of it – with stories, images, reflections, opionions and reviews, to share with you, my friends and reading audience.

ALSO is an acrostic outline around the four areas of inquiry – Art, Love, Spirituality and Oneness that came to me in a dream last year and it has anchored me since as a ritual of sorts. It leads to reflections, meditation and mark making in the home studio.

What does art mean and why do I need to make marks?

What is love in good times and bad?

What is spirituality after experiences of religious disillusionment and never ending aggression?

What does human oneness look like when peace seems impossible in families much less in nations?

My life is full and given the state of the world, which in my life time as a privileged white male, has never been so fraught and tentative, I need some kind of framework to enable me to consider what is in and what is out, what I feel impelled to respond to and what to let go as the overwhleming nature of its impact increases.

I hope that this can be of some assistance to readers and friends and I will respond to all replies.

I look foward to some kind of loose community of thinkers and inquirers.
