COREBASELINE - Creative Side

CREATIVE SIDE:

The part of me which I enjoy the most is my creative side. Over the years my creative side has exploded and later gone near dormant, for long periods of time. At the time of this initial writing (7/24/16) my creative side is pretty much in a dormant state, with a few flickers here and there demonstrating that its still there, and still very much a part of who I am. The photo above is from a photo shoot idea which I came up with and called "The Starving Artist." It was a fun one for me as I simply had to look my worst - no shaving, torn up clothes, rough neigborhood, etc. A then friend of mine, took the photos for me, and I did the editing, enhancements, etc. I think the look and feel of it is a great way to introduce my creative side. I have never been good enough of an artist to make much money off of it (hence the Starving Artist), but I totally enjoy that part of me, and I wanted to share some of it with you.

More creative artwork, photography, and writings coming soon...

	"Master something creative and breath taking in life: A painting, a drawing, sculpting, a musical instrument, a voice, culinary art, fashion, a classic car restoration, a 7 mast ship in a bottle, an elegant display on the back of a horse, a dance, a sport, a race, a custom home, an act, but more than anything, master yourself, and then give all that you've got to enrich, enhance, and inspire others to do the very same. Too much pain, hurt, and destruction in this world, master and create something wonderful!" ˜ Nick C. Casale
"A heart writes what a head does not dare." ˜ Nick C. Casale "Sometimes I listen so closely to the silence that I hear its ocean breeze, I feel the rays from the sun, and I see colors blending into one. I see caverns so deep and vast that they pass beyond my comprehension. Memories are like shadows; they are cliffs of the soul. Off past the ledges I see deep waterfalls, I sense a place that is meant for us all. Sail past the water and through the great aisle the breadth that I see as deep as it is wide. A dimension of knowledge cradled by the unknown, a span of time left all alone." ˜ Nick C. Casale

	"He walks out on the wooden porch, Screen door snaps shut. She sits curled up on the swing in a warm, gentle breeze that passes right through her delicate cotton dress. His love is so clear, the light in their eyes so crisp and clean. He brushes her glowing hair back revealing her gentle smile. The scent of her perfume swirls effortlessly intertwined with his cologne. Everything about them fits, arouses excitement, and peaks their desires. Softly he kisses the back of her neck, then slips around in front of her and lifts her up to carry her into a sunlit room as the warm summer breeze sails through the screens. The night is young, they are alone, the night is theirs." ˜ Nick C. Casale

"Time is a long walk. Depth is a silent fall. Cold is a crisp breath. Light is a path believed. Peace is a light feather. Gentle is a soft, supple rain. Laughter is a quick, sharp curve. Hope is a dream in a wide-open space." ˜ Nick C. Casale
	"Come wake by me, stir, re-cuddle, sleep more, wrap into me and me into you, feel the deep embrace, THE touch, the clarity of feeling, the love that's near healing, the heart beats, and the snores that leave you smiling and looking at the ceiling. The dream tossed with hopes like tight wires without ropes, the flesh against flesh, the muscled caress. The silk of your skin, the warmth felt within, the beat of a soul, the drive beyond control. And in the morning coffee, juice and some eggs, moments in time that can't be replaced." ˜ Nick C. Casale

	"Dream inspiring thoughts." ˜ Nick C. Casale
"In a vast, wide-open distance I find the depth of my own soul." ˜ Nick C. Casale
	"Consider the source of your life! An energized heartbeat, a delicate and intricate spark. A steady and powerful, life-giving force. Inside of us all it radiates light, sound, and energy. What is the source? Who designed and measured its exact tempo and strength? Why were you chosen to be given this life? Lord of eternity, Lord of wonder and of light! The masterful creator, the lover of our life." ˜ Nick C. Casale

	"So much of life is truly about perspectives and perceptions. We form, and yes create, our entire world (in and around us) based on these two. So if this is how we see things, then we have to ask ourselves, what is it that we are truly missing?" ˜ Nick C. Casale
"I took that walk in the rain. Shorts, a cut-up shirt, and flip flops slapping against my heels. I walked to the top of the hill and saw American flags whispering their flaps in the late night sky. I am truly an American, through and through, a blood, flesh, and bone, soaked wet with rain, American born and raised on Long Island, the Empire state of New York. A man made of all of the things that make America great - speed, strength, relentless ability to do all things, and above all, a love for his fellow Americans. I took that walk, again and again, because I am free, and because I love the taste of rain on my lips, and the feel of walking in the freedom that reigns. I took that walk in the rain." ˜ Nick C. Casale
