Earth poem



The Isom Asemic Code Cipher is a cryptogram code system. This form of cipher embodies geometric and organic shapes. Because it use basic shapes it is an economical and effective method of transmitting confidential information. These devices were often employed by the ancients or by the Medieval philosophers and alchemists. The mystics of the Middle Ages used a system of cryptography which concealed the secrets of the human soul. The Isom Asemic Code Cipher can only be decoded by individuals versed in the deep philosophic principles upon which many mystics based their theories of life. Much information relating to the invisible nature of man is hidden under what seems to be mere scribbles and unrecognizable organic shapes. Every student of symbolism and philosophy should be acquainted with the underlying principles of cryptography. This art furnishes a fascinating method of developing an acute mental awareness. Discrimination and observation are indispensable to the person seeking knowledge, and no study is equal to cryptography as a means of invigorating these powers

Atemporality

Today’s Hand Mind Internet Vocabulary:  Atemporality 


“The concept of internet-induced "atemporality" was coined by science fiction writer William Gibson, author of the cyber/adventure novel Neuromancer. Gibson reasoned that the internet made time disappear in a way, since all periods of history (or art history) are immediately available to anyone cruising the web.”

Doodling and sketching everyday




For most of my life I did not think of myself as creative at all. Then, many years ago, I started doodling and sketching everyday. I filled countless sketchbooks with scribbles and notes. Each day in class I worked alongside my students making art and after school I worked with students constructing sets for plays.  I made art with my children and grandchildren. I made art that covered the walls in our homes. I collected junk and filled the garage and studios with art.  My motivation was simply filling my life with art.  I found myself in a role where I needed to be creative each day, developing new ideas for class projects and home projects. Creativity is important for many reasons. It is a path and process for not getting stuck in old habits and ineffective ways of seeing yourself and the world. Creativity can help with problem solving, with creating healthier relationships, and with having a healthier and happier life.


What I learned is that creativity isn’t something that you have or don’t have. It is something that you can nurture and develop.

“I am drawn to powerful, mysterious places... The 'creative haunting' of these locations has been imprinted on my spirit.” 

J.R Baldini


I think, to some degree, science and rational thought has robbed the arts of mystery, their most powerful asset.  The arts were once avenues of truth and insight.  Our modern ideas of reality have changed this goal and now relegates the arts to amusements, and meaningless aesthetic games.
