Rest In Peace

Gil Scott-Heron

April 1, 1949 – May 27, 2011

He was magical. 

According to Harold Camping, a California Christian radio broadcaster, today was the date of The Rapture.  Through his network of radio stations, billboards, newspaper ads and teams of believers traveling through world, the date of May 21, 2011 has become synonymous with the end of the world. 

If I am still on earth… have I been left behind?

Experienced a moment yesterday that almost paralyzed me: doubt.

Doubt, I believe is a symptom of fear, a very clever and jealous thief of time, creativity, logic, and success.  Doubt impedes progress. 

Faith won out.

Life is not always easily categorized… and neither is art.  Occasionally we are just invited to observe. 

Today, I will soak it all up and in!
