the second time around.

Dear Readers,

I have decided to write a book in blog form. The topic will be on the Second Coming of Christ. Don't ask how I think it's possible for me to write a book this way. I just feel inspired to write my thoughts down and see what happens. The title of the book will be called 
"THE SECOND TIME AROUND."    

Here I go!!!!   

Chapter 1    

Hello World

What would happen if Christ came down to modern day earth for a short, fly by the seat of His holy pants visit?  Maybe He would say something like, "Hello World. You need to get ready because I am coming back soon!" How would the world respond? Let's just pretend He came down to check on things and to make one last alter call before the big day.

no words

jump a bump

~backwards, the great divide i cross

detour to dark, a hole in chains

half of a heart, words are lost

fading dreams i shout to swear

storms hit the sea, do i drown?

a wall there, my quiet wail, pray i dare?

downward, steps then spiral, faith far from up

trip in terror, web of lies no end?

signs, life, tunnel, light- jump

 BUMPS OF LIFE

A dead man can't jump. But if your alive, you have a shot at squeezing everything you can out of your life. For the past seven months, my life has looked like this....

Starring as....

 Once again the entire world has seen a talented star exit center stage. Another delicate star that was dimmed too early. The curtain has been closed on Phillip Seymour Hoffman's brilliant but dramatically painful life. Here is a man who achieved monumental success despite suffering  from a very public drug addiction. PSH did a masterful job playing such complex characters, yet always managed to hide the pain behind his silver screen smile. How do we deal with one more artist who has taken another deadly turn down the well traveled road of self destruction? PSH was an artist who offered us so many powerful works of portrayal. Years ago I asked myself why so many artists seem to be destined to a life of tragic consequences. Sadly, yet again, one of the great artist of our day had one last heroin haze and took his final bow. His three children were only a few blocks away from his apartment waiting to see him. His last role was starring as a desperate man on the run from an adversary called himself.

What is az?

artist/zion~ az we sing and dance to Zion.

(It sounds silly but stranger things have been done in the name of art.)

(This will be done in the name of Christ. )

                         
  ~az is a united community of artists that are sacredly devoted to following the ways of Christ (Zion.) We support those who walk a difficult creative journey through life.

We ask real questions that lead to an empty and open path of simplicity.(and yes we do use zen to trigger enlightenment.)

* az an artist will you vow to fight for the fallen?

* az an artist will you bear witness of the light?

*az an artist do you confess that your creative gift is born of divine breath?

 *az an artist if you rise taller than the trees will you stay rooted?

Before and after every film i see the actor's name and character they are portraying. 
It always makes me think. If God has given me a role to play, then who am i starring as?

Note:
We will have the first gathering for az on Sunday, Feb. 9 @ 5pm
It will be at our house.To take part you can reach out to me for the address.
