Was there a time when there was no time?

What is magic?

This happens everywhere we look, literally and figuratively. The magic is all around us. Be aware (00)

The rest of my old classmates went on to become famous athletes. I wasn’t really into sports.

J.J. Abrams on magic and mystery.

I embrace mystery, but can’t describe it as well as J.J. Abrams. Ghostly thumbs up for the mystery box way of thinking!

We, the ghosts who haunt Raleigh.

A few years ago, my secret photographer friend and I were on our way to the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences when I noticed that I wasn’t the only ghost present. “How odd” I thought to myself as we went to investigate.

They turned out to be civil war era ghosts, haunting downtown Raleigh as a reminder that May 20th 1861 was the day that North Carolina seceded from the American union. I politely introduced myself and explained to them that I am the ghost of modern art, which they found equally interesting.

The experience made me think. Here we come from completely different walks of life (or afterlife) with our own purposes, yet we share the common bond of being ghosts haunting the same area. Seems that diverse people make diverse spirits.

You see my friends, in your world you will encounter many different kinds of people from many different walks of life. This is but a mere preparation for what lies ahead. In the ghostly world you will experience this diversity multiplied by thousands of years of human history.

Moral of the story? Learn to embrace the differences with your fellow man while living and you’ll be prepared to have a long happy eternity filled with wonder and excitement for your fellow ghosts!

Tables turned on a pirate ghost hunter.

I once had the honor of meeting author/historian Kevin Duffus who was kind enough to sign my copy of The Last Days of Blackbeard the Pirate.

He’s been on many ghost hunts, but this may have been the first time a ghost sought him out!

The Price of Reason

To describe this one, let’s just say that being the lone voice of reason can make you the center of attention.

Fossil From the Future

This 16″ X 20″ canvas painting is entitled Fossil From the Future.

No matter how far biology and technology proceeds in the coming centuries, that which has yet to come is still destined to seep into the ground and become fossilized just like creatures of our own past, only to be studied by beings of it’s own future. Consider this an abstract representation of the future as the past.

Confusion Clings

This 16″ X 20″ canvas painting is entitled Confusion Clings.

That which is different can gang up on you and be quite hard to shake at times. Differences can be either constructive or not-so-constructive based on their purpose or source. Could the squigly shapes be neurons? Is the confusion from a mental, physical, or spiritual source? That all depends on how you view it. Your current situation will turn this into a mirror and as things change, it’s meaning will too.
