I've been on a journey lately to rediscover the artist within, to rekindle and honor the creativity that has always lived within but that has been squashed down and abandoned over the years. I share this to say in this process, as I have surrendered to what is, there have been so many sign posts and synchronicities (many recent Signal Fires among them) to confirm I'm heading in the right direction. Sending so much love, support, and gratitude to this creative community. ❤️
You are on the right path, you are heading RIGHT where you belong. We're right beside you, carrying what you can't when you can't, cheering you on all the while. I hope you feel this.
Tyler, thank you, and as others have noted before… your essays and verse are uniquely gifted at stimulating contemplation and energy. Your work is very much the embodiment of your various illuminating online domain names ( light, fire, etc.). This post is no less stimulating of both. Here is my typical contrarian haiku story contribution of this morning…
What a beautiful compliment that opened this comment my friend. YOUR additions to this place are, and always have been, the sparks that keep it roaring. "All the spirits around me/sharing my mind space" resonates profoundly. I feel this, in my bones, and it's what I fight against all the time haha. Just a sliver of silence, that's all I am always searching for.

Alone?
Alone in a crowd
How to filter out the world
Use inner earplugs
It’s crowded in here
All the spirits around me
Sharing my mindspace
If my mind can’t stop
Making and creating things
I won’t get stuff done
No separation
From the rest of the known world
Except physical
We are not alone
A trinity never lost
Me myself and I
Finding inner peace
Comes after learning the truth
Of who we are not

“In our connection, we are disconnected.” So sadly true. This was beautiful. 🥹🫶
Thank you so much. You're magical, you know?
As are you, my friend.
