While the mountaintop is reserved for philosophical reverie and the lab is for scientific experimentation, The Dojo (found under ‘The Virtual Map‘ dropdown to your right) is for art. Of any kind. Emotive creation. The heartbeat throb that carries a person through the consecutive stages of inception, conception, and production.

Here is where the soul from the mountain meets the mind from the lab and they make love through the night. And, hopefully, something surreal comes of it. A story that can cut to the bone or a song to soothe old hurts.

This sanctuary is for expression. Under its roof is where I breath life into the words I want to hear, make the music I feel, throw some color on canvas and wind up with a painting. Here I’ll grope at strings no one can see, spend myself trying to touch the intangible, leave sanity behind in favor of sailing more vivacious seas.

The Dojo is a shout to Bruce Lee and advice that won’t ever die: “Be water, my friends.”
