MASTERPEACE JOURNAL

A Journal of Critical Thought in Art and Spirituality,

and the craft of Storytelling 



Warning: These writings are not for the faint of heart whether as scholarly writings about art or as spiritual writings about lived-experience or as stories. They are not philosophies nor are they theories or polished diatribes to ease the conscience. Observations are not alternative doctrines or rants against academia or any religions, church, or faith-based groups. Nor are they anarchistic views of the art world or pagan views of the spirit world. They are not “tough-love,” burdens of more work, nor are they persistent propaganda or postmodern ideologies. However, they are the Spiritwind who calls for a reawakening of critical thought in Art and Spirituality including the craft of storytelling and memory making in this age of chaos.

“THE QUEST: A PILGRIM STORY”

The Quest is a pilgrim’s story about an epic journey. The pilgrim is Cerulean, a long distance voyager who sets out to find the mystical city E’veden. The quest begins in a coastal settlement called Salmon Head, in the year 1066, After the Deluge. It is a poignant account of one man’s spiritual journey and his beloved Autumn Sky, set in the natural surroundings of Berin and Dorsal Islands that mirror the spectacular imagery of the Pacific Northwest as a metaphor for the author’s own spiritual quest. Discover the Valley of Dry Bones, travel in the “Copper Canoe” up the Swiftwater River, penetrate the Great Forest, cross the Great Sea, and meet the Copper Canyon Riders and the T’ucani of the far north. Hear the story of the mystical island “Fara’way” and summit Arrowsmith Mountain. All in search of E’veden, with the help of a Weatherstone and the white spirt bear. Discover the past as present written with a prophetic imagination.

Amazon: Softcover 6 X 9 in (5.3 X 22.9 cm), 639 pages, with 22 drawings by the author.
