Of Envy, Doubt, and Still More Risks…
Posted by Anjuelle Floyd | Filed under Articles and Essays
Following crisis, the protagonist must choose, decide and act. Will she or he return to business as usual, keeping secret what they have learned, or will they share it with others?
Will they share the healing they have undergone with others, or will she or he choose the safe path of saying little or nothing about the internal changes that have reshaped them?
Risks come with sharing the good news of our survival of any upheaval or time of broad sweeping changes. We face the possibility of those we tell refusing to believe us.
Those who do may grow envious, and then exploit the doubts still others hold and turn who groups of people against us.

Of Blogs, The Umbilical Cord, and the Internet…,
Posted by Anjuelle Floyd | Filed under Articles and Essays
Connecting with the godhead, that part of the divine that lives within all, the Imago Dei, coalesces the disparate parts of the soul, mind and brokenness of heart and spirit.
Writing or revising and editing this part of a story or novel can and often dispenses healing to the writer whose words later transmit this to the reader.
The writer undergoes a trial or test of sorts each time she or he sets out to craft a work.

Of Crises, Experience and Goals…
Posted by Anjuelle Floyd | Filed under Articles and Essays
Surviving a crisis bestows special knowledge garnered and held by few.
It also grants admittance into various orders of wisdom yielded by experience.
Every novel or story a writer crafts tells the life of a certain crisis, and chronicles a central character’s survival of that crisis. The process of writing that novel flows out of an upheaval, the completion of which involves many obstacles that reach a crescendo of conflict and tension.

Of Judas, Kali, and Transcendence…
Posted by Anjuelle Floyd | Filed under Articles and Essays
Without Judas, the Crucifixion may not have taken place.
In the absence of Ma Kali, with her teeth dripping of blood, Lord Siva would have no consort to usher in a time of death and rebirth manifested through the fiery dance he performs when angry.
Upon raising the knife above his head, Abraham, out of obedience to Jehovah, moved to kill his son, Isaac, as sacrifice Abraham. In so doing Abraham opened the opportunity for God to show mercy by then ordering him to stop.
The antagonisms of our life provoke us to create.
