The Shard of Asclepius and New Horizons

 


Hello everyone,

Just a note to bring you up to speed with this blog and this crazy journey I'm on.

Over the past two decades, I’ve juggled my time and energy populating five different blogs containing alternative news, music, economics, political activism and creative passions while also supporting hundreds of artists, activists and alternative news journalists. I did so because those I supported, offered something that mainstream did not.

The goal of my past efforts has been to show, with proof, that there were other sides to a story, and of course, better music offered by artists not in the mainstream spotlight, while I also shared my opinions, research and creative inspirations such as those displayed on this blog.

This blog was a place for me to express my feelings but especially my discontent with the way the world was heading. In doing so, I eventually combined my Geo-political and Geo-economic observations with my societal discontent and my poetry into a three-book series, titled, “The Activist Poet - Vol 1, Vol 2 & Vol 3” hoping that they would help awaken a population that was sleep walking into a consolidated economic tyranny and another World War. These books remain my testament to truth against powerful western propaganda and censorship.

The Message

My message has always been, that there is a better way to live on this planet than the way in which we are living right now. The world I believe in, is a world that is inclusive for all and not just for the privileged few…of course, I was censored just like the thousands of concerned online journalists and artists trying to make the world a better place.

So, due to massive online censorship of this blog and important voices, I have taken the next step forward in my quest to make the world a better place and written a science fiction / supernatural thriller called, “The Shard of Asclepius”.

The following quote by Gao Xingjian reflects my belief and why I wrote a book of fiction.

Quote: “It's in literature that true life can be found. It's under the mask of fiction that you can tell the truth.” ~ Gao Xingjian ~

I have hope that many people will see and read this intriguing book, “The Shard of Asclepius”, but it’s virtually impossible to get the book populated on mainstream bookstore shelves, even though it’s available online through Ingram's global network of book sellers. As an independent author, I need your help.

My book is on the Indigo, Amazon and Barnes & Noble websites but in order to get the book seen by the public, I need my supporters to go to those websites, rate the book, buy a copy from them and maybe leave a review of the book. It helps move the book into attention. Books that are not supported by a major publisher or large online community, are not visible to the public and so an independent author such as myself relies on friends and community for support.

I’ve also created a new website which will be dedicated to all the books I publish as an author going forward. Here is the link to my new website.

To the people I’ve supported and / or the people who’ve visited and supported my blogs in the past, thank you! I hope you will also follow me on this next step of my journey.

Here is a short video trailer for my book, “The Shard of Asclepius”. Please consider visiting my new website to find out more about the book and then consider sharing the link with your network of friends. Thanks for taking the time to read this blog post and for your support! I look forward to hearing from you. Have a great week!

Internal Rhythms

 


Internal Rhythms

Unknown realms of time and space
stretch before my glowing soul;
bathed with anticipation
and brilliant streams of gold,
where futures crest the heavens,
that make ready to unfold,
while rhythms beat with every step
in flutters the light foretold.

Time Well Spent




Time Well Spent

Deep inside a book of dreams
where calm holds the river back,
candles grace the hourglass sand
while consciousness grows.

Knowledge over time, enlightens us.

Prophesy

 


Prophesy

I am fire on wings,
terror to tyrant kings,
I am storm born, lightning’s flair,
the soul’s protector n’ heir;
prophesized with a mark,
bright fire in the dark.
I am the watcher of skies,
an oracle to the wise,
a hush of screams,
the voice in dreams
the mysterious state
that carries your fate.
I am times endless sea,
I am prophesy.

Spiritual Home

Spiritual Home

The greatest spirit,
provider of life,
bedrock of our existence,
foundation of our birth,
you are the universe and beginning,
the mother we call earth.

Stepping through the Nightmare

Howling winds whistle
through windows in my dreams.
They carry peaceful thoughts
that come behind the screams.
Urging to move forward
through shadows pale thick.
While crossing every boundary
of the lunatic.
----------------------------------

NOTE: The first stanza in poem "Connections Far Away" is used here as a brevity with a new title.

Prescient Eyes in Time

Prescient Eyes in Time

Time beams from experienced eyes,
that mirror from departed souls,
those cusps of what’s about to come,
a prophesy they foretold.

“Awake now brother, to the fore,
take care of your mother and child,
the enemy’s come to take them,
your livelihood, land and wild.”

I’ve heard these words, they’ve gathered dust,
jumped atmospheres to this day,
familiar voices from my dreams,
returns and holds me in their sway.

Eclipse

 


A.I. Generated Image of the Eclipse

Eclipse April 8th, 2024

In Montreal, they chem-trailed the skies to try and block out the sun. However, it didn't work as it added to the effect which produced a large sundog (a large ring of fire). At the center of the sundog was the eclipse and within the ring of the sundog was a shadow that filled the larger circle. as the light began to fade, a flock of seagulls circled under the sun / moon, gliding in circles under it, calling out in their wails. When the eclipse was full, it produced a pinkish red glow and you could see the stars as the light of the sun was extinguished by the moon. A very cool effect. I don't know about anyone else, but I felt a sea of humanity in joy watching this event...could literally feel the excitement in the air and in my mind...our connection to each other.

Healing Thoughts

 


Healing Thoughts

Behind closed eyes the dancing light unveiled scenes to another time where rivers met the calm conscious flow without boundaries. There, old deep forests inhale the sun where all lifeforms thrive in rhythm and vibration with the universe.
