Intro: Good morning, hard earned wisdom from a lifetime of sacrifice is my gift to you. This is the Cause & Effect; that Effects the Cause. Living linguistic relativity as poetry in prose; passing messages in reverse, so you can read the ending first. I draw my strength from giving and will never ask for more than a smile and understanding. I’m humbled for the Time you’ve given me. Volumes inbound, to crumble their slave castle to the ground. Rise.
Note: If we anchor a man by the actions of his past, his growth will surely suffer. Context, mixed with emotion, makes a dusty old story come to life. I have a big story to tell and it’s told in real-time from a warrior poet’s perspective. I evolved to use metaphors because it’s the only way I can describe what I [literally] see in front of me. Enjoy the wordplay mystery in this uncharted turbulent sea.
Overview: This is an Evolution of Enlightenment; dripped over you one drop at a time. Numbered & published articles acting as an expanding bubble; to see more than you thought possible. Each article is built on the back of my previous learning event. You’ll read of a growing epiphany, from my ever-curious dichotomy.
I nicknamed this blessing, of my resolute mind; “Stress Enhanced Enlightenment,” oh how Divine. Minutes to read, yet years of understanding. I have a knack for this complex practice of math and tactics. My humble beginning, oh what an ending!
Purpose: This is a self-generated ‘scientific study’ to explore my own mind during dynamic times. Temper tested tried and true, we’ve sacrificed all, just for you. I built my website myself, with my two hands, to act as a playground to expand one’s mind.
When your twisted tired eyes finally fall open, you’ll soon see the Darkness sowing. From their perspective, and the heart of my disdain; the best class of slaves, are the ones who know not they’re enchained. My rage hath fervor; for the masters of this lucid horror.
Warning: My website hosts a double-humble origin story; full of rocks and scary parts. It ain’t always pretty, but it used to be me. I write with raw emotion, and wrangled a Demon, so please excuse the heavy hearts and dark ugly parts. I’m an author who writes with method to remind you what it feels like to feel again. Emotion is a web that holds humanity together.
There only “is”
There is no “good. There is no “bad.”
A story told in reverse, drip journal book first.
I’m an author who writes about his life in real time.
To twist your noodle and tickle your fiddle; how then, is the story already written?
Published, polished, and ready to read. Good God, and it’s for free.
An ending already written; or is it the beginning?
Hop on over, then hop back to me; to read how this canon came be.
This mere sliver of a sharp story section is a cold reminder of where we came from.
I’m humbled for the time you’re already given me.
We’re mere ants who ride on a paradise planet.
We are always born free, and
Thank you for reading.
I’m not sure if my words guide me or I guide my words.
Together, we make a beautiful story.
