By Leave a Comment

She floats through the Universe Coffee Hut and orders a tall, dark cup of twilight. A Mercury Comet carries her to the beach by the bay; she spreads her shawl on the ground where grass and sand blur. It was early a.m., her favorite time, when the fiery yellow sun and shy, coy moon exchange glances in the pale iris sky. She sips the spangled twilight slow, pausing when she's connecting with something, as she does in the morning. The ocean air, rolling in from a point where the only land is … [Read more...]

I have undergone a cycle of life in the course of a year, The change from caterpillar to butterfly is what happened here. I was born timid, shy, and unknowing of the world around, I thought I was aware, but there was so much more to be found. I traveled as a lonely caterpillar trying to find "me," "Maybe," I thought, "if I change my looks, others will like what they see." So I spun a protective cocoon around my body and mind And I stayed far away from those who would judge me for a long … [Read more...]

By 1 Comment
hotton2

"And now here is my secret, a very simple secret; it is only with the heart that one can see rightly. What is essential is invisible to the eye."  -  Antoine de Saint-Exupery from The Prince Rick Hotton is stuck in time, but he's not complaining. The 52-year-old cartoonist from Sarasota, FL, lives life with the kind of soulful deliberation more commonly associated with an ancient temple or monastery. Hotton would rather observe the flight of a mud wasp or study a turtle munching on grass … [Read more...]

I actually see and feel My Self traveling into the deepest levels of My Multi-Universal Self, into the vast and expansive "Energy of the … [Read more...]
