The Cathedral of Monte Cristo
Episode 8

The darkness seemed to have a life of its own: an amorphous entity, breathing, as if in anticipation for a primitive ritual. ~ The Cathedral of Monte Cristo Episode 8

The soul of a true artist is finds joy as he creates a way to express his own individual personality.
My blog is like my own Zen garden. I find harmony and balance even in the new placement of a pebble beside a clear, still pond.
I created the new design for my blog's Slumbook Page on the First of October 2015. Here is where I share my own personal favorites, be it music or movie, with the images side by side with the videos and with a new font for a touch of elegance.
