That's me in San Francisco

That's me in San Francisco
discussing the merits of post-modernism with my muses.

What my blog is...

A space to share my writing, images, and quotations around indigenous, philosophical, sustainable, and spiritual themes to facilitate dialogue and encourage creative exploration.

What my blog is NOT!

"Most online experiences are made, like fast food, to be cheap, easy, and addictive: appealing to our hunger for connection but rarely serving up nourishment. Shrink-wrapped junk food experiences are handed to us for free by social media companies, and we swallow them up eagerly, like kids given buckets of candy with ads on all the wrappers." quote by Jonathan Harris

Celebrating a new writing form: The Lyric Essay!

These "poetic essays" give primacy to artfulness over the conveying of information. They forsake narrative line, discursive logic, and the art of persuasion in favor of idiosyncratic meditation...

The lyric essay does not expound. It may merely mention…Generally it is short, concise and punchy like a prose poem. But it may meander, making use of other genres when they serve its purpose: recombinant, it samples the techniques of fiction, drama, journalism, song, and film [or image]…

The lyric essay often accretes by fragments, taking shape mosaically - its import visible only when one stands back and sees it whole. The stories it tells may be no more than metaphors. Or, storyless, it may spiral in on itself, circling the core of a single image or idea, without climax...

Perhaps we're drawn to the lyric now because it seems less possible (and rewarding) to approach the world through the front door, through the myth of objectivity. The life span of a fact is shrinking… We turn to the artist to reconcoct meaning from the bombardments of experience… For more, click on: Lyric Essay

The act of editing may be the key postmodern artistic instrument

The very nature of collage demands fragmented materials, or at least materials yanked out of context. Collage is, in a way, only an accentuated act of editing: picking through options and presenting a new arrangement (albeit one that, due to its variegated source material, can't be edited into the smooth, traditional whole that a work of complete fiction could be.) The act of editing may be the key postmodern artistic instrument. quoted from p. 119, Reality Hunger by David Shields who quotes Nina Michelson from her unpublished manuscript.

Practicing to be ourselves...

Every thought, emotion, intention, attitude... shapes how our experience will unfold. This means that every single moment of consciousness is a moment of practice, whether we like it or not. We are practicing to become ourselves. (Olendzki in Tricycle)

What is real?

I believe that reality, as we perceive it, is socially constructed: We create meaning in our lives through the stories we tell.


“While modernist thinkers tend to be concerned with facts and rules, postmodernists are concerned with meaning. In their search for and examination of meaning, postmodernists finds metaphors from the humanities more useful than the modernist metaphors or nineteenth-century physical science.” Quote from "Narrative Therapy" by Freedman and Combs (1996) p. 22.
