la word from the author] I have always been fascinated with the beginning. I've spent countless hours wondering how we got to where we are. Thinking about how all of what is, could have come To Be. I turned to Science. I've consulted with Spirit. Through this discovering just how close the relation is between the two. In the words of Dr. Kaba Kamene, "Spirituality is unseen Science and Science is Spirituality unseen." My mind eventually drifted into making mythological style stories about various stages of creation. Pairing what I've learned through connecting to my Spiritual self with what I've learned about the universe through means of school, books, the discovery channel, and so on. It is also worth noting that, like most writers, love is one of my favorite things to write about. I have written most of these stories with the perspective in mind that the universe is ultimately on a mission to find as many ways to love itself as possible. These are some of those stories Enjoy.

Power, Corruption & Lies: "Post hoc, ergo propter hoc". The priori; with the bad moon rising at the horizon, beyond the heavy and mysterious sea of Mist, no blood is thicker than the ink belonging to a collection of stories, tails, vignettes, thoughts, reckonings, short poems of a world who revolves around the tip of the spear, gray alike the clouds that lightened and obscured of their own history. Laughing Stock: "If faith is what driven us together in search of ourselves, then we must try to do it on a leap". The posteriori; from the idyll to the youth to the decay of substance, life goes on and on in this real life fantasy, alike the path taken by the Crescent and her ancestors, who once shared of same blood ingrained on that red coat. While her youth dreams are kept alive, only the fear, the failure and the spea can block the way to achieve a purpose in a life under the rain.
