Things blow my mind. Things like the fact that the top of my Deviantart page says I've been a member for 8 years. Things like the evolution of fractal programs over the last 8 years, especially the evolution of Apophysis, the primary reason why I started a Deviantart account back in the day. Things like my level of fluency and understanding of the program and the flame fractal concept now, as compared to all those years ago, when I blundered into fractal design like someone stumbling around a darkened house and blindly feeling out objects for perceived aesthetic value.

Conjure a moment in eternity for me. Call it up, and call it perfection, vibrancy, hope. Make it the first time our lips met, or a desperate embrace before a storm, or a parting glance. Call it fluency, disaster, resolution. Call it fire, blood, religion. Call it whatever you wish. My thoughts and dreams will not last forever; one day they'll be nothing but dust like these cities of ours... and on that day, call me a prophet. Call me a splinter, a persona of this beautiful, frantic, faithless, ever-deepening world... or make it simpler and call me just another human who tried to write.

Happy Mayday! It appears that I've hit the 7-year mark on Deviantart. While it's not altogether clear to me how our relationship has managed to survive for long enough to be considered a common-law marriage in some states, I'm still glad to be a part of the Deviantart community and astonished at how far fractal art and digital art in general has come in seven years. My goal, although there seems to be precious little time for it these days, is to continue to experiment and create; to be inspired and to inspire. And the story continues...
