An Insurrection of the Soul

ince the publication of my first blog post in September 2011, I have grown increasingly dedicated to my artistic expression via words, photographs, and paintings. I dabbled in all three for many years prior, more as an afterthought, squeezing art in between work, raising my children, and other activities tickling my fancy, including all aspects of soccer from playing to coaching and refereeing, woodworking, knife making, and reading. All but reading slowly faded due to lack of interest or necessity. Grown kids tend to prefer autonomy as they come of age, something a decent parent diligently prepares them for rather than stifling their drive to be independent.
