Welcome to Exploring Life
Welcome. My name is Brian. Exploring Life is a creative space I use to share my creative work. You will find ideas important to me expressed through creative writing, poetry, and personal essays. My hope is that Exploring Life becomes a gathering place for creative people interested in sharing and exchanging ideas.
A frontier is an uncertain and ambiguous space between the known and the unknown. To venture into the frontiers of experience is to undertake an often difficult and challenging journey of personal change and transformation. I inhabit this space because it conjures discomfort and demands creative work to find a way.
This site is a creative work. My intention is to explore the raw edges of life in creative ways. In the end, personal experience is all we can lay claim to. It is the essential raw material for deep creative work. My work presumes that creativity is an ideal way to navigate the frontiers of our unique life experiences.
