A Portrait of the Artist


“My occupation, to stimulate your elevation, to motivate and navigate the Revelation. I shine the light that knowledge ignites excite Blacks and Whites through the things that I write.”

Wise Intelligent. Nietzsche said that a good writer has not only his mind but also the mind of his influences, so I begin with two quotes to show you two of mine. The artist divine: draw inspiration from the thinkers whose writing birthed revolutions, from the martyrs who dared to challenge the dogmas, from the creators not bound by their contemporary culture.

In fighting the Gods of conformism a distinct Knowledge of Self emerges, surfacing in essence above the river of experience, consciously aware of its own freedom. Having released myself from tradition, a spirit recently actualized within yearns to vocalize perspective and shine light on the shadows of ignorance amassing the multitude. Visualizing a quest for deliverance, the artist inside dwells in possibility perpetuated through continually developing awareness and judgement from which to better perceive this incessant cascade of sense impressions called life. The supernal passion to create incites a longing for immortality; I engage in a battle with my very existence as I seek new combinations of symbols to interpret the limitations of human consciousness.

a call to free spirits, to seekers and teachers
to writers, artists, thinkers; to readers and leaders:
the future seers, to students, lost souls & non-truth believers
to revolutionaries, geniuses and suffering relievers,
those not fooled by deceivers,
those who say they feel the movement; to the food (for thought) eaters
see the fruit is now blooming,
a movement getting stronger. can you feel us gaining pace?
to creators and innovators, pushers of the human race
to geniuses, originators
hip hop to rockers. to rappers, be-boppers and soul singing martyrs
let your spirits shine: all the unwritten authors, know now is the time
to the dancers who light the lime, the actors and philosophizers;
to those who sense an ever growing yearning to get wiser
to pioneers, musicians, lost souls and connivers
convention and system despisers,
to those filled with love
have faith and rise above,
let us march

“… onwards along the path of wisdom, with a hearty tread, a hearty confidence! let us stroll backwards, treading in the footprints in which humanity made its great and sorrowful passage through the desert of the past. watch as your own lives take on the value of a tool and means to knowledge as you merge everything you have lived through into your quest for understanding (nietzsche)”…and grow aware together as our very being becomes a self-perpetuating phenomenon that intensely stimulates its own drive for knowledge.

[As my physical frame soon releases the essence of adolescence, a mystical mist of a new dawn of consciousness promises accomplishments of prominence. Intuition guiding me through the cave of the collective unconscious, I emerge from the depths with a strut in my step, a torch in my hand, visualizing the light for woman and man]

And that’s the double truth, Ruth!

With Peace, Onwards and Upwards!
