I am much better with written than spoken words. I merely write such moments with hopes another will read them, accepting the gifts that life offers. I am nothing more than an essence for reflection, yet a mirror I am not ... just a window. - Antimo Onzo

"As I sit on this dock, I hear nothing but the beautiful sound of semi-silence. ‘Ambiance of Grace’ is a great moniker for nature’s sweet and soft symphony. An orchestra not conducted, with irregular patterns of sound that never miss a beat, and never forsake the melody. The main sound I notice over all is that of my heart beating; always constant except in change of tempo. The heart resembles life with a similar aspect. The heart ‘beats’ as life is ‘lived,’ the heart slows as life relaxed, the heart speeds as life in fear, and the heart stops as life in love."

"Just as the sun’s glimmer off the water will always point towards you no matter where you stand, the horizon will always be at eye level. All four elements are present as I sit and view the world from this dock; a new dock at Lake Claire. Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire make the sight which I call art. The lush trees surrounding the lake are mixed with green, light green, and shadows of black; the ‘Earth’ never looked more beautiful. The breeze is perfect, just strong enough to move each strand of hair on my head; a gentle feeling. I can’t see that it’s there but I can feel it ... unless I look towards the swaying trees or new ripples being produced on the water; the ‘Wind’ is beautiful."

"The Lake is black and unclear but still wills to bear one’s reflection. Breathless still it is, for the music of the wind provides the atmosphere for dances to take place on the ‘water.’ The reader may now ask, ‘Well, where’s the fire?’ As an answer I’d say that the ‘fire’ is in one’s heart; the warming sensation signaling that life ‘does’ exist. The burning of love in one’s soul, allowing one to see it’s true form. The Earth grows as Life grows. The wind is the music one follows, causing a ripple effect in life no matter what they do. The Water can either be smooth or rugged of which we tread upon.The ‘Fire,’ or Love, is that which gets us through."

"Never lose your faith unless you come to know God."

"A mere ‘belief’ promotes a drastic margin of error, an uncertainty so to speak. Let’s replace faith with ‘hope.’ How can an individual have hope in God without understanding the consequences of such a potential downfall? I don’t ‘believe’ in God ... I ‘Know’ myself; therefore, I’m ‘aware’ of God. With awareness I am certain, and following this surety are prosequences."

"Those never losing faith, or hope, are just praying for awareness. An inward and outward balance of unity rests one in neither leading nor following, as one remains centered. We’re each a Rosetta stone for God’s eternal language. It’s amazing how difficult a time many have with the translation of oneself. If you look well enough, you’ll notice most ‘individuals’ translating themselves with another’s stone."

"So deep is the shadow of this materialistic world that many drown in an eternal illusive self-worth, not realizing that the Love from God to all things exists internally, including Hate. For the possibility of an eternal element to spread ‘infinitely’ it must have a point of origin ... a center."

"Every experience is an influence, even down to the blink of the eyes ... prolong it and one will dream. Cause and effect rule physics to a high degree. It’s funny how science and ‘philosophy’ play well together, for both agree on a reaction following an action. Religion, on the other hand, leaves no room for anything new. Doctrines are followed that were created in a different time period. There is an absence of new progression, for with every single day that seemingly passes it promotes nothing but recession."

"[19 5 24…]
…is an illusion that satisfies the dream of another knowing one as well as oneself, proof of such conjured by one’s understanding where to touch and/or what to say (express) at any moment. Audio, visual, and kinesthetic remain attributes that lead to an internal fallible translation. It’s no wonder that the concept of ‘sensory perception’ contains the latter word. They combine to make a great magician with amazing prestidigitation. Though, the magician still leaves what you see up to you."

"Intriguing it is. Although locked within the context of the English language, it persists as no surprise how the prefix ‘for’ can end as opposition, with either suffix ‘give’ OR ‘get.’
Technically, ‘forgive’ doesn’t even exist in the realm of ‘it just is.’ The concept of ‘I forgive’ should be replaced with more of a worthy substitution ... ‘I accept.’"



"According to my discovery pertaining to the realm of ‘exchange,’ no matter the circumstance, give and get are one in the same ... a simultaneous place with differing existence. Two points on a line: give and get. In the third dimension: line to square to cube . . . this process is infinite if continued. It always advances to build a unified concept of forgive and forget. A begged question- ‘When’ will they happen?’ Well, that’s based on the fourth dimension ... time."

"The following is without limitation and more-so in favor of mere discussion."

"I’m fond of how intricate and simple life may be pertaining to emotion. It’s as though life has supplied an answer I embraced, an answer I just never really noticed. I’m starting to wonder whether or not my ignorance was voluntary. It’s intriguing to realize that this particular epiphany promotes both joy and sorrow at exactly the same instance. Consider the following: it’s impossible to fall in love with another. Explanation: Every emotion one feels is instantly under “perception’s” scrutiny. If one says they’re in love with an individual, although the catalyst is the individual, it is not whom they’re in love with. Humans do not fall in love with materials; humans fall in love with the emotions materials cause."

"Contrast is the mother of contemplation."

"The art of distinguishing exists due to opposition. Without a conjure of difference, imagination would not only be limited, it’d be unnoticed altogether. Contrast itself is needed for comparison’s allowance to be recognized. Consider the following: you know of absolutely nothing (everything including your own body) with the exception of the color black. Keeping this discussion in the boundary of colors, upon viewing the only thing you know, black, your mind would not wonder, thinking nothing of it. The knowledge of other colors (even just ‘one’ other but the black) allows for black to exist."



"Another great example supporting the above is the written English language. Twenty-six letters exist, allowing for an infinitesimal amount of combinations for forming ideas, etc.  Differences create imagination, helped in the creative process by “W-H-Y” and “W-H-A-T_I-F."
