Beyond

When I was very young, I wanted to be an artist. I loved drawing and painting. I did finally become a professional artist and eventually became interested in animation. I have lots of story ideas. This is one of them.  The opening scene is a sunny day at Rodin’s, “The Thinker”. The camera focus begins… Continue reading Beyond

Truth is the MOST important ingredient of Ed’s Art Net… Heck, the whole Universe! I don’t struggle with truth but I struggle with fluid and uncluttered thinking, especially when writing. It’s a gene thing but it’s okay! I think that I’m getting better at writing and I’m feeling better mentally these days. Probably because I… Continue reading Sean of the South

Birds

I’ve mentioned that I have a knack for the obvious. So this post is not going to surprise you. Of all the creatures I’ve personally encountered, birds are the most spiritually inspiring. First off, they personify the very essence of what it means to be free. Why else would we use magnificent creatures of flight… Continue reading Birds

Perfect

When I was a child I thought I was perfect. But eventually, I learned to think like an adult. I discovered that achieving perfection is impossible.  Now I’m old and I am beginning to think like a child again. Sure I know I can’t DO anything perfect, but I’m realizing that God made ME perfect…… Continue reading Perfect

Present

“On the threshold of a dream…” Sometimes God Spirit wants to hear from me… “What lesson have you learned, Ed?”  You’ve heard the expression, “Slow as Christmas“? That’s me! God’s not ever looking for a quick answer. He’s very patient. He’s SUPERNATURALLY patient. I wish I had some of His patience. I do have a… Continue reading Present

Santa

… for ages 12 and up Santa is humankind’s birthday celebration analogy for Jesus Christ. To celebrate Jesus’s birthday, we project ourselves onto Santa and we project Santa onto Christ’s spirit. Over the years, society has mostly corrupted that beautiful analogy. Today Santa is largely idolized as a profit maker for us to gain benefits… Continue reading Santa

Visitors

1. How should I approach a stranger? 2. How should I react to a stranger when I’m approached? I ask myself those questions all the while I’m working on Ed’s Art Net. I’m always hoping for a really good outcome! I’m mostly satisfied with my website approach but I haven’t received a whole lot of… Continue reading Visitors

Death

As far as I know, nothing is as inevitably constant as death. We cannot bank with any assurance on any of “life’s” adventures. Most often we haven’t a clue what’s around the next corner. We frequently wing it when it comes right down to it. Discovery is inspiration for the wandering soul. Not so with… Continue reading Death

Slow

I picked up a snake yesterday and carried it away from my daughter’s garage. I placed it gently in the leaves next to the parking pad of her driveway. It was a small harmless rat snake.  This wasn’t my first encounter with a snake. I’ve dispatched a few in my day. I still have some… Continue reading Slow
