Please Don't Stop Spinning, Or We Will All Die

 A very quick post today: I wrote this text after yesterday's reflection regarding spirituality and sexuality (which you can read here ), and was inspired just now as I was reading the introduction to Georg Feuerstein's book Enlightened Sexuality: Essays on Body-Positive Spirituality , which I'm already loving and will probably seek a physical copy of. Here is what I wrote: Yes! We urgently need a new Christian spirituality that carries the Gospel of Christ today, where the Kingdom of God is found here and now ! And what I see is a vision that is body-positive and corporeal, present, sensual, creative, erotic, intimate, passionate! Romantic! (Even Artistic!) That values Agape love in the here and now, that values and celebrates individual experience, that accepts all bodies and all genders as they are and will be, that teaches Love, Compassion and Eros across all forms of sexualities and relationships. That defends individual autonomy and nourishes self-expression. That fo...

    Okay, so here is another thing I've been wanting to do with this blog for some time now. So far, I've mostly just shared thoughts and ideas which take me definitely up to a few hours to write, and require my concentration for long stretches at a time, which is an opportunity I rarely have, and thus this limits how often I can write on this blog, which then also becomes a new hurdle whenever I want to try writing something again, once I'm terribly out of practice. No problem, because now I have a revolutionary idea that will work for me, but that is not really all too applicable to other people's blogs, so maybe it's not as revolutionary after all?? As I said: no problem. Today, I want to simply share a few links to resources for topics and ideas I've been thinking about lately, which will serve as a helpful base from which to later perhaps write more fleshed out rambles, like the ones I'm an expert at writing. However, this kind of post will only require...

 So, this (and a number of other topics I hope to get around to eventually) has been on my mind lately, and I thought I'd make a short post about it, to see if I can get my thoughts in order. As I've shared before in this blog (when I was developing the video game [zu] ), I've been interested in the expressive and artistic potential of video games ever since high school, and have since then been interested in learning to develop short games that express ideas or feelings in ways that other artforms cannot do. I very clearly think this is possible, otherwise I would not have developed [zu] the way I did, and previous experiences with games such as The Beginner's Guide, Disco Elysium, Night in the Woods, Kentucky Route Zero, Dear Esther , and even The Outer Wilds and A Short Hike, not to mention the works of artists like Kitty Horrorshow, Cosmo D, Bryce Bucher, among others (or the fascinating Interactive Fiction experiences crafted by artists like Steve Meretzky, Andre...
