Yet another of one of the poems I wrote. This one written about 8 years ago. But this one in particular has stuck with me. Recently, the double eclipses, one in the end of June and the other last week, have left me with such a shift in my experience. It is so peculiar how the words of this poem have held such an accurate account of recent moments. Life comes full circle.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.Warm afternoon and starlight glow as I gaze upon you
I ride on dreams of midnight blue
Wishing away time as the changing eclipse grewStanding on edge with the glare of Northern Light
I watch as they dance like glitter in flight
Into the sun's rays they twinkle brightAs if in slow motion the particles drift
Resting on rippling waves they shift
Tossing and churning in a furry they siftPlaying tricks on my eyes I dance with thee
Watching...

I wrote this poem in 2002. I enjoy poetry, albeit I don't consider myself to be a poet, mostly because I don't follow proper format at times. However, I must admit that what I've written in the past tends to surface again later in life. I have a few good poems. I haven't really shared them with people, mostly out of fear. Probably for concern of copyright protection or some sort of judgment. All issues I must face because it is a shame not to share self-expression with the world when something meaningful is created. This one is called 'Twisted Mind'. I think today I would name it differently, but it is what it was created to be. Enjoy.
Twisted Mind
By Scott C. Leuthold
Blindly wandering wasting time,
willfully motionless without rhyme.
I seek to understand the mysterious reason
inspiration adjourns with each changing season.

Do you really know how to listen? Can you call yourself a listener? Do you even want to be a listener? We all have so much going on in our day to day grind... many of our semi-robotic, over stimulated, virtual software driven, auto pilot brains hardly take a moment to pause to listen to even the echo of our own gibberish.In my line of work I find direct, one on one, eye (and ear) contact with clients to be an effective asset in the process of completing a task we have joined forces to complete. But it doesn't happen without good dialog and a joint effort in both speaking and attentive listening. And listen, I most certainly do.I have friends who are so excited to see me when we get together after a long sabbatical. So much so that they practically foam at the mouth with dialog. To get a word in edgewise, I literally must talk over them until they realize I am talking and pause. Some of...

Recently Token Rock was in the running for a prestigious Webby Award, the premier award for anything online. Webby Awards are granted to websites that demonstrate exemplary design, functionality, content, and so forth. Submissions are reviewed by a panel of recognizable professionals in the industry whom are members of the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences.We submitted TokenRock.com last fall as an example of a quality website that might be considered for the award, and though we didn't win the award, we are proud of being recognized as an official nominee.TokenRock.com was categorized under Religion and Spirituality. We really had no other options for a classification. Though my opinion about the two in that subject title is that they are both vastly different, the media, of course, categorizes them together... sort of like Syrup and Ketchup. They're condiments, but y...

I find it fascinating how it seems as though subject matter flows like a wave across society. As if a majority become focused on a particular idea at the same time, a concept materializes as a result and spreads itself across the collective mind.For example, have you noticed lately the influx of television shows and films that have been introducing alternative concepts of our existence. I wonder, as a result, if the collective consciousness creates the influx of the concepts or if the media influx influences the collective consciousness to expand. In other words, I wonder if the collective consciousness influences those who create the media to produce the films containing alternative concepts or if those who create the films and television shows incorporate the alternative concepts to influence the collective consciousness.For instance, I was a fan of the film Avatar. I realize James Ca...

I live in the desert. The Sonoran Desert to be precise. Where I live we receive only about 7 inches of rain each year so it goes without saying that rainfall has a more profound effect on one's psyche than it may in other parts of the vast world. I've been here 20 years now, and I still am drawn to venture out of my warm home and into the cool rain drops for a solo hike in the desert. It's something really special here to walk among the desert dwellers and feel their powerful energy as they welcome Mother Earth's refreshing cleanse. You can almost hear the root systems sucking in the fresh cold water. You can almost see the leaves opening, as if waking from a long slumber and stretching their limbs.One of the more distinct scents I will always appreciate is the smell of wet Creosote bushes giving the desert such a pungent scent.Quail chirp in the underbrush, Jackrabbits scurry upon my ap...

Ok, so I missed November. Cut me some slack and roll with it. It just wasn't in the cards. Anyhow, here is a new one to get you thinking. I welcome the new Age of Aquarius... whenever it is expected to arrive. ...

As some readers may have read along the line, I felt compelled to bring Token Rock into this world in part due to my own desire to utilize my creativity to produce something with deep meaning, not just for me, but for those whom would discover our site along their own paths of life.Aside from operating this marvelous organization, I also continue to utilize my skills for other projects. What is interesting, though, is the level of thought that I now invest into my work since the creation of this site. Creating something with such meaning has sharpened my creative focus.I sit here this evening pondering how such a purposeful use of creative expression, or a sharpened focus on putting true, heart-felt meaning behind the work any of us executes on a daily basis, could potentially produce significant benefit to our holographic world at large.For instance, I created a logo recently for a comp...
