“Fin” is the Latin word for “end”… “ish” is used to indicate a “sort of” or “about” condition. “I’ll meet you around noonish for the moon launch.”

Every now and then, I feel like I’m “finished” with my website… artists like to “fin” their work. But I’m not sure if this project has an “end”. Whenever I think I’m at the fin, something always comes up-ish.

Footnotes

Whatever feeling we get when we contemplate God stems from our own personal collection of experiences. No one else but us knows exactly what that is. When we share our beliefs we are broadcasting our experiences but not listening to our audience.

The Internet is Earth’s lighted metaphysical stage. Building this website has been a rewarding experience akin to meeting a stranger and not knowing what to expect. Then after a lengthy exchange becoming great friends! 

Katie, my youngest, asked me a while back to write something about myself for her in a “dad” book to have for posterity. I hope this website does a better job than I did in my book.

Expounding

Below I explain my artist’s poem from the home page for the benefit of anyone who would like an explanation.

art is something our nine senses reveal
(sight, sound, smell, taste, touch,
vestibular, proprioception, spirit, soul)

writing is something our heart teaches us
(insight is cultivated in a seeking heart)

music is something of and from both
(music comes in and out our senses)

art, words, and music awaken the senses
(inspired works can make us feel good or bad)

composing mood reflections from life’s reasoned fences
(we each have unique perspectives so reactions to a work vary)

encoded skill and mind is the foundry
(everyone has gifts to share)

beyond the grip of night’s emotional boundary
(anxiety and depression stifle inspiration)

works evolve as inspired emotion is resolved
(creativity is bolstered by the spirit)

only completed when an audience is involved
(artist’s work is defined by its audience)

Artists finish their work.
An audience completes it.

Hang on to what gives you peace. Hang on to what helps you to love and uplift others along with yourself.
