OK, so OXV: The Manual. This is a project that I’ll be talking a lot about in future posts. It’s an independent feature that I like to refer to not so much as a “vanity” project as a “sanity” project. (And I’m being deliberately obscure as to what OXV means). Those who know me know that I’ve made no secret of the fact that for various reasons I’ve been unhappy with my first two features. I make no excuses. The mistakes [...]
The river is swirling, a fog is drifting in, you’re in a canoe and attempting to navigate through increasingly rapid waters. You bump against sharp rocks, almost capsize, but right yourself and keep on going. Your vision seems blurry, but you gaze piercingly ahead, maneuver around the obstacles and come out to calmer waters…where you exhale and shake your head at how you managed this feat.

Ahead, you see another doorway, open this time, with a beautiful garden beyond it, a sweet fragrance exuding from its bounty. But you slow down, not comprehending quite yet that there is nothing stopping you from [...]

Then the veil parts, the fog lifts, and our prepared but as-yet-untrodden path stretches clearly out ahead. This week’s energy feels just like that. The New Moon/Solar Eclipse this past Sunday gives this propulsive week a gigantic push toward fresh horizons, in our individual lives and [...]
