Drawing largely from my own life and experience, I especially love to write about the triumphs of spirit that largely come amidst the suffering in this world.
I feel very deeply that there is a gap in society in regards to both literature and culture in general, where these triumphs of spirit take second place to the apparent suffering.
There seems to be more of an emphasis on the psychology that gives birth to suffering or how to avoid it, and very little on the psychology of these triumphs of spirit in the face of the suffering.
These "triumphs" seem to me to be akin to flashes of light that permeate the darkness, often in moments where circumstance more often than not, seems to hold the logic in regards to causality and solution.
Insight and instinct seem to go against the grain and break open the restraints of the circumstance of suffering.
My focus is always on this sliver of light within the darkness, and the psychology involved in an individual's faith and courage in accepting and allowing it the room to grow in the face of circumstance.
There is so much out there in terms of how to avoid the circumstance of suffering, and that can only ever be little more than "what someone else has said."
My interest is in highlighting this authentic and organic insight in myself first and foremost, but in a way that may bring this authentic and organic awareness of self to those who read my words.
