The things most natural

Fol­low the path, orig­i­nally uploaded by Thorsten Becker. After my last post I sat down and spent some time pon­der­ing why it is rather dif­fi­cult for me to pro­mote my own work. I’ve been on uneasy terms with “the Inter­net” ever since I first became aware of it back in ’95 as men­tioned in a …

Knowledge and Interdependence

Of what ben­e­fit is knowl­edge? That depends on how well one is able to apply it. We can cer­tainly know a lot of things, but that doesn’t mean we are always able, or even will­ing, to prop­erly apply that knowl­edge when called upon. We may know that eat­ing cer­tain foods can trig­ger aller­gic reac­tions but …

Love, Passion and Creativity — Part 3

Light flooded through the crys­tal win­dows into the palace of a thou­sand won­ders, orig­i­nally uploaded by Thorsten Becker. As I am writ­ing part three now I real­ize how much I do love writ­ing.

Before head­ing into this post I rec­om­mend read­ing part one of “Love, Pas­sion and Cre­ativ­ity”, if you haven’t already done so, as I’ve laid the foun­da­tion in that post for what’s to fol­low.

Love, Passion and Creativity — Part 1

And as they ven­tured deeper into the woods they came across the hunter’s camp, orig­i­nally uploaded by Thorsten Becker. So there’s been a lapse again on Alternate:Words. What was once intended to be a reg­u­lar per­sonal blog filled with cre­ative writ­ings has turned into skip­ping entire months with­out updates. It was time for me to …

Gateways

Gate­ways, orig­i­nally uploaded by Thorsten Becker. Alas, I have been severely slack­ing again. I would have liked to present a great rea­son for the lack of activ­ity – work­ing on a book that’s almost fin­ished now, some new com­po­si­tions that I wanted to com­plete – but it is non thereof. Instead I have spent quite …
