Durable Fires

Durable Fires is the fictional saga of a discovery. Beginning in Manhattan, recalling the American South, over to Barcelona, Venezia, Reykjavik. To open to the discovery requires traversing a creative abyss into the new. And cross the shadows. This brings the best gifts to the world of self. Among our world who loves us. This novel began as a series of messages to self addressed to the ether of someone else; a receptive rapport with conflicted results. After a noble meeting and a missed mystery. Purpose was to liberate the mind's language in advance of starting a libretto to a musical score which promised to require complete freedom to, well, complete. In the end, this novel became the first part of a multimedia trilogy; this the epic poem saga, then a novel experience; then 32 Songs 32 Days to recapture the intensity of creating the libretto. And led into The Art Songs (the love songs), The Symphonic Films, and other creative achievements. The present moment is how we know us. We sense the truth. We align the navigation. We build the practical bridge. And have tea at Miriam's place on 17th & Irving at Gramercy. Or as we wish. In the reality of realization. Sculpting the next moment.
