A note to my perceive-rs: "The story is always the same. The only thing that changes is the name." As a creator I orbit my work often, circling it. To know it's there is not enough but to hover around partially captured possibilities is a start, becoming both demon and angel to one's own art. When hovering above a possibility, there is no ending, only the essence of time and of our creations. Crash landings into particular possibilities aren't accidental. In every action is a creation, none of which is an accident, minuscule or monumental. We are always writing the same story. This is the key to awareness of what we may will ourselves to create. The brightest stars have led me to this knowledge and I'm on a constant mission of recognition. In recent time I've taken snapshots of stirring worlds within. I've witnessed symbols speak from a multitude of both gracious and harmful spaces. These places remind me the closer I am to somewhere I've been the harder it is to speak a symbol's language without trying to place the story with a particular part of self. So I drift into the darkness and enter a familiar world of entrances and exits, views and possibilities. I've discovered a few but dream of a million. A million is too many but does not begin to describe how many there are. In my efforts to reach a level orbit that sustains me in this moment,in this moment, in this one, and the next... I will myself to press forward as a creator. To gain a larger perspective on this work, I may see it in new views, in as many symbols that rise to my conscious awareness. Thanks in advance for your participation, as you are already a part of my creation. Shanona, and all characters within.
