Holiday Homage Part Fifteen (Finale of a Series): An Invitation to the Reliquary (You)




Since November of 2007, this kaleidoscope of musings has provided a reliquary to store my emotional relics, house my newfound bounty of friendships and confidence, and to illuminate the darkest passages of my artist's soul.

This has been one of the most cathartic experiences: to write and find my "voice" in a new medium and share some of my story with you gracious and kind people.

To you, whomever you are, I thank you for reading...
for commenting...
for validating...

It has been an unforeseen blessing having you read the journey journal entries of my heart. I merely wanted to put in words my thoughts and sort through the murkiness and delights therein. The fact that some are interested in this and have been inspired by my narrative highlights the power of words and the internet. There is not sufficient language to express my gratitude over some of the comments I have received other than to simply say:

I thank you from the deepest recesses of my heart.

Love,
Dustin

Loving the Squiggly

I was typing the other day and instead of hitting the ! key I hit the ~ key. Two odd altercations happened between two friends and me via facebook so I have deactivated my account for a bit. It was hurtful and unexpected. So when I hit the ~ key it made me smile and forget all that nonsense. ~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dustin

And With This, Farewell

This blog has been a dear friend to me. I am not good at farewells, but truly this is anything but. I look at it like this - I love the phoenix, the symbolism of it all, the power of rebirth. Hence why I named my blog/musing screen after one. :-) So, I am leaving this particular blog to start another one, one that fits me NOW, the one that I can share in a new way. So this feels right. Thanks to those who have read my musings throughout the years. I hope you follow me to my new musing home entitled THE TWELVE THAT IS DUSTIN BAYLAN. Yes, I am changing the name, the story of that is on the new blog for you to read. Here is the link: http://dustinbaylan.wordpress.com/ Much love, much hope and joy again, much potential...

Holding the Key

Only I am solid ground. Those whom I love - the new, the familiar - can be my circle, my connections... but the connection to self is the key I have been missing. Peace fills me as I hold the key and begin to unlock the doors of my life. Only I am solid ground and I embrace the beauty of me. Dustin
