This is my need, my pursuit, my goal. To create is to make anew, give birth to an image, structure or process that is new or seems new and speaks to the needs of its time, thus segueing to the component of activism. I think of activism as changing static conditions that are hindering growth, repressing not supporting peoples’ needs. Always there are forces of greed, ignorance and control that are in conflict with promoting human growth. As humans, we have the same needs and rights; and that we are all connected is not yet understood or honored.. Meditation in action is the practice by which we pursue our creative activism with Metta and profound sensitivity and empathy. How is our creative activism affecting others, our selves? Are we addressing peoples’ needs or stifling them? Are we increasing collective support? Are we enlightening others or confusing them? Are we a vehicle for helping all people be treated justly and get their basic needs met?
This is my space to share thoughts, concerns, along with my short stories and novel excerpts. I am excited to be read and heard.
