Creatures cross our paths daily, in waking and dreaming life. I cannot help but stop to wonder why... Why this creature? Why now? What do they want to share with me?
With these questions, I stumble into the creative process and fall into the magical, mystical world of symbolism. I emerge a bit wiser, grateful, and in wonderous awe. The lessons learned live on and continue to speak through the imagery that has appeared. What do they say to you?

I come from the fire
of vile untruths and gross inequalities
of depleted land and greedy power-over.
I come from the fire
of suppressed spirits and systemic wounds that never heal
of lonely disconnection and lack of opportunity.
I come from the fire
of the rage, the disbelief, the heart-wrenching sorrow
of too much ignored, dismissed, diminished, smashed.
I come from the fire
where tears and screams crackle in the flame
amalgamizing and preparing for the uprising.
I come from the fire
that demands we rise again
that has no time for apathy and excuses and too-much-to-do.
I come from the fire. I will be the fire.
I will carry it on my wings on this perilous flight toward freedom.
Light up the sky with me.
