Thirty Six Steps to Empowerment
1. I am grateful and give thanks to the difficult aspects of my life as I know that adversity is my greatest teacher.
2. I know that I am always at the right place at the right time and that each person, place and thing that comes my way is perfect.

4. I manage my expectations accordingly as I know that all pain and...
Demons Kōan
“Master Muoga, tell me of demons.” Pita said.
Master Muoga and Pita walked slowly up the hill through the downtown Friday night crowd. The air was hot and humid. Flashing neon chased shadows around the busy street. The crossing beeped and Muoga and Pita quickened their pace to cross the intersection.
“A demon is a madness; a feeling that takes control of your life,” Muoga said. “It overpowers will...

I ran down the hall and barreled into the lounge and tripped over a multicolored snake coiled in a pile and tumbled into Dad’s legs. Dad picked me up and swung me around the room by my arms. I giggled as the room swirled about me. The floor was covered with a plastic sheet, and laid out on the sheet were Dad’s things. They spun beneath me as Dad turned on the spot in the middle of the...

No complete knowledge is possible as long as there is the relationship of subject and object. When the subject and the object merge into absolute union there are no doubts or questions. When you enter the consciousness of the infinite you will have no problems. You will have no questions to ask, for the questioner and the questioned will be one subject and object will be dissolved. Only when...

Self interview for the MCW, 2011
It was late autumn when I met Peter Fogarty for the interview. The sky was shot through with brilliant hues from the ash cloud high overhead that competed with the color of the oak leaves falling in drifts along Franklin Road in Ponsonby, Auckland. We walked up the hill to Prego for our interview. A magnitude 6 earthquake had just hit Christchurch, hours after a 5.5 rattled Heathcote Valley. His...

Whenever I complain about how females are portrayed in mainstream superhero comics, inevitably half a dozen people pop up to tell me this:
“Men are idealized in comics, too.”
Yes. Yes they are. I am aware of this. While I think the idealism is harmful, that isn’t actually what I have a problem…
Sundancers
Earth fell away before them. Clouds spilled in the atmosphere like oil blooming over ocean and land; where the planet once filled the vista, it now shrank rapidly. Night spooled over the planet before them, day an oval sphere like cats eyes, a marble in the spotlight.

To the rock of his Muse he bound his soul. He’d stolen Fire from the Gods to shine a bewitching byplay of light and shadow on her carven cheekbones, to reveal the glinting onyx of her irises, to gain just one glimpse of her renowned beauty. Chained to her mountain by the
finest filigree of Love; filar and grano, the spun grain of his Muse’s hair, silver and gold, he lay, splayed. With...

Love is a mighty power. It is light. It is the energy of life. It brings us into life and sustains us while we live and breathe.
Love is an energy, not a substance. It is essence, not matter. You can’t contain it; you can’t put it in a box, but you can feel it, taste it, and know it. Its…
