New Horizons

 

It can be a frightening thing, trying something new. Attempting to manifest something from nothing. But also, fear isn't too far from excitement when you think about it. Both emotions involve the unknown. Regions hitherto unexplored. And exploration can be thrilling as well as terrifying. It's just a matter of outlook in the end, and a willingness to take those initial steps. I've always been interested in the subject of manifestation and personal growth. How we can create more depth in our lives. How we can add richness and texture to both our inner and outer worlds. That's a big part of why I started this blog in the first place. For the joy of exploration and creativity. Amid Night Suns has been both a touchstone and a lifeline for me as a writer and artist. Here I can immerse myself in video collage, poetry and spiritual contemplation. And hopefully others might find value in it too. But still, it's a solitary experience. I want to continue pushing my boundaries if I can, expanding my comfort zone. I've never been one to crave novelty just for novelty's sake, but I do see the value in growth. In trying new things, even if you have initial reservations. I'm quite a private person in my real life. I have a small circle of friends and loved ones, and I cherish them with all my heart. But, despite this more reserved side of me, I also have a very gregarious, communicative aspect too. A part of me that is always trying to learn and become more than I currently am. In that spirit, I want to discuss how we might manifest more of our genuine selves into the tasks we pursue and the things we enjoy. I'm not really interested in manifestation in terms of pure acquisition. A way to acquire more things. No, I'm more interested in how we can use an idea like manifestation to explore our own depths and come to know ourselves better. It's something new for me, but also something exciting. And, if you like what I do here at Amid Night Suns, I hope you'll enjoy exploring this new horizon with me.
