- [The Sovereignty of Our True Self](https://horizongate.org/2026/07/the-sovereignty-of-our-true-self/) - Right now many of us are dealing with the frustration of feeling powerless and being exhausted from constant insults to our intelligence by the current regime. ... But, as Martin Luther King preached, we must keep our eyes on the prize.
- [Dormant or Germinating?](https://horizongate.org/2026/07/dormant-or-germinating/) - Peace This scene was chosen because at first it might look boring, ordinary, or not worth a second look. But it is meant to calm you, to imagine the peace of a tranquil scene. Dormant Time I am currently experiencing a dormant time, forced upon me by preparation and recuperation from minor surgery*. This has
- [Making Hope](https://horizongate.org/2026/07/making-hope/) - People with passion for the freedom and justice of democracy face more anguish than those who choose to be numb and cloistered, who claim to be neutral and “non-political”. If the hope for a world of Truth and Love seems impossibly blocked, some would rather die, and they weep while others hide in aloof personas. But the fact that we weep and mourn the loss is witness that the ideal is not just fantasy but is real.
- [Breaking Out](https://horizongate.org/2026/06/breaking-out/) - It is common knowledge that lighting, cameras, acting, special effects are like shadows on a screen. Show business works hard to maintain the illusion for the value of their ticket sales. They don’t want you looking behind the set, costumes and make-up. But there is that factor of the audience’s “willing suspension of disbelief,” voluntarily agreeing to accept the given façade and script for the sake of a good time. In the public arena this is compounded by...
- [Leaves of Light Remind Us to Hope](https://horizongate.org/2026/06/leaves-of-light-remind-us-to-hope/) - Even in darkness, light can be found This scene caught my eye when walking through the forest. I am always struck by an unexpected appearance of light. A Gift to Dedicated Public Servants If you are involved in activism and resistance, this is for you. We all need tools for recovery and rest to gear
- [How to De-Normalize Evil](https://horizongate.org/2026/05/how-to-de-normalize-evil/) - We spend much time and energy in the necessary work of naming wrongs and speaking out in Congress, courts and public streets against the evils being perpetrated. This is a crucial work, as I said in the blog “The List for Resilience”. But it is only one step in pushing back the current regime’s attempts
- [Still there is beauty](https://horizongate.org/2026/04/still-there-is-beauty/) - In all the chaos, seek beauty Donna L Turner April 30, 2026 How are we coping today? I am so glad that years ago, during a trying time when parents were dying, and even friends my age were succumbing to rare diseases, I attended a grief workshop. There I learned some tools for coping in
- [Our Constant Within](https://horizongate.org/2026/04/our-constant-within/) - Human beings are by nature adaptors. Whatever circumstance occurs we automatically assess and choose how to navigate life in relationship to it. Many details will change during the course of time, and we will morph to cope, but we have the impulse to maintain belief that we carry the Good within. We may keep it
- [The List for Resilience](https://horizongate.org/2026/04/the-list-for-resilience/) - Most of us are still able to list evils and this indicates that the Good is not vanquished. In fact, the majority of people recognize evil because they still hold the ideals of righteousness. The challenge is our resolve and encouragement of one another to practice the good. Each act of good is an act
- [The Passion of Jesus in a Flower](https://horizongate.org/2026/03/the-passion-of-jesus-in-a-flower/) - Announcement! Starting this month Horizon Gate is incorporating Donna's blog, Photo Musings, into our stream. Photo Musings offers nature photography to encourage contemplation and peace. Web pages will soon provide the archive of Donna's past blog posts. This is her first Horizon Gate post. Passion Flower When I first discovered this flower I had no
- [Always Becoming](https://horizongate.org/2023/11/always-becoming/) - I relaxed in my zero-gravity chair where Donna in her chair and I were the only people in the forest and meadows around the abandoned Stonewall Mine, near Julian, California. The gentle breeze caressed, and the birds entertained us. On the ground a squirrel rummaged around with an occasional glance at us, but surprisingly was
- [The Wrappings of Christmas](https://horizongate.org/2022/11/the-wrappings-of-christmas/) - The Christmas collection of cultural traditions is enjoyed by people around the world even as cultures vary and change. To create and operate within cultures is a human invariant. Human invariants include eating, sleeping, working to make home, communicating in a native language, relating in a society, Love. We create cultural ways to accommodate the
- [Just Keep Doing Good](https://horizongate.org/2022/05/just-keep-doing-good/) - Cynicism claims more concrete evidence than optimism by pointing out the obvious troubles. Optimism seems to be based on less concrete unknowns. The cynic assumes everything is going down. The optimist hopes in the ultimate rise of Goodness. We wouldn't expect many optimists to give up on life and die, but surprising multitudes of cynics
- [A Season of Searching & Finding](https://horizongate.org/2019/12/a-season-of-searching-finding/) - I am glad to have awakened to a fuller celebration of this season as Advent, Christmas and Epiphany. Years ago I began to feel there is more to the holidays than the collection of beautiful traditions around Christmas. My poem here bridges the three parts of the season showing: Advent's message of light and darkness,
- [Watch for the Signs](https://horizongate.org/2026/02/watch-for-the-signs/) - When the world is falling apart in this season we tend to wonder, “If Christmas happened, why is evil tearing things up now?” The idea is that we had a lot of problems, but then the Messiah was born to fix everything. But that was two-thousand years ago and we seem to be in worse
- [The Light is Longterm](https://horizongate.org/2026/01/the-light-is-longterm/) - The world used to hope that the USA was still a defender of Goodness, but with MAGA-America’s betrayal it is hard to keep the Light shining. Not that we didn’t see the copycat of Putin coming, but when we see such military might put to lawlessness, our heartsickness tempts us to quit trying to represent
- [The God that Arrives and Leaves](https://horizongate.org/2025/12/the-god-that-arrives-and-leaves/) - The metaphor of “the way of the Lord” and “a highway for our God” speaks of movement, journey, growth, not stopping and staying, not a static state. The way of the Lord is God’s movement and action among us, the ways of love, the acts of creation, the deeds of healing and restoration. The ways
- [The Gifts We Give](https://horizongate.org/2025/12/the-gifts-we-give/) - This looks like a big advertisement but our goal is not as much for profit as for giving you some of the treasures of our lifetime. In this summary of books, art and media are links to some of our most profound realizations and expressions over the course of about 50 years of celebration, thought
- [Bigger than Voting](https://horizongate.org/2025/11/bigger-than-voting/) - As necessary as it is to immediately remove the current American regime, it would still be only a step in the much bigger need for deeper change. The current regime is the manifestation of a global culture that has become possessed by superficial materialism; all of us striving to get more and discovering it is
- [Not Choosing Extinction](https://horizongate.org/2025/04/not-choosing-extinction/) - I completely agree that all our voices ought to be raised in outrage, analysis and solutions for the evils being perpetrated. There are lots of eminent and knowledgeable writers making important statements, and I thank all of them for doing so. Many people of various opinions have been joining together in peaceful, public protest of
- [The Way Opening](https://horizongate.org/2025/10/the-way-opening/) - Motion graphics over a digital painting with poem reading and music growing out of my life amid the mounting evils of the early twenty-first century. Knowing the hope and light which continues in dark circumstances, my poem struggles with the conditions but describes my response rising above them. Download a copy of this poem and
- [Inklings of Utopia](https://horizongate.org/2025/09/inklings-of-utopia/) - Throughout humanity's relatively short history we can see points of breaking out as well as setbacks and reverting that marked changes in our development. Generally, the movement has been positive, like waking up or being born. Currently “backsliding” is being normalized. Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, a scientist and Jesuit priest 1881-1955, used the word "noosphere,”
- [The Objectivity Myth](https://horizongate.org/2025/09/the-objectivity-myth/) - In journalism classes I was taught to write purely objective articles. But eventually I realized that objectivity is actually theoretical - it helps us be honest and fair but is ultimately impossible. As an artist I came to realize that having a viewpoint gives life to a work of art, without negating truth, justice, and fairness. We can come to appreciate that we are all in process; no one is perfect, and human society is always a negotiation with one another on the complexities of being good.
- [Exclusive Independence](https://horizongate.org/2025/05/exclusive-independence/) - Ignorance causes us to believe the way of the universe is that each of us is unto ourselves, sovereign and free from attachment to anyone or anything else. When we base our world on that self-centered delusion, we are rejecting the life force which is driving the universe to evolve. This results in our disintegration
- [Beyond the Perpetrators](https://horizongate.org/2025/05/beyond-the-perpetrators/) - The troubled environment that the current American regime has put upon society is more stress, less peace, more worry, less hope, … More people are losing sleep, and this lowers the general health … The perpetrators are secure in the wealth, privilege, and power they have hoarded by abusing the populace and planet. Their message
- [What’s the Question? Who’s Asking?](https://horizongate.org/2025/08/whats-the-question-whos-asking/) - As I observe the descent of humanity asserting ourselves again in religious fascism as a way to facilitate religious materialism, I lift my eyes to the grandeur of our existence. The many photographs by astrophotographers offer awe in contemplating the Mystery of the vast universe. I pray the scriptures of the Biblical prophets and psalmists
- [The Cult and Beyond](https://horizongate.org/2025/07/the-cult-and-beyond/) - One of the challenges of our society is reducing issues to words and finding that we are always over-simplifying. We are unable to include all subtleties and variations that would fully honor the given issues, let alone the wide variety of people involved. So, I humbly submit these simplified observations to the larger chorus of
- [What Possesses Us?](https://horizongate.org/2025/06/what-possesses-us/) - When we are asked to name where our loyalties lie, most of us will have to say “Legion, for they are many.” Not long ago as the universe measures it a man possessed by the demon Legion fell at Jesus’ feet desperate to get free. Jesus disposed of the demonic oppressors and sent the man
- [Accepting the Beatitudes to Myself](https://horizongate.org/2019/09/accepting-the-beatitudes-to-myself/) - Each of us can choose how far we will go as creators, which I believe is a collaboration with God. One source of clues for this belief is the ancient affirmations of Jesus spoken to a crowd on a hillside of Judea.
- [Step Out of this Old Way](https://horizongate.org/2025/03/step-out-of-this-old-way/) - As much as I hate them, the evils we are witnessing unwittingly give us the grace of blatantly showcasing their wrongness. Seeing evil clearly should motivate us to walk away from it. Repentance is not as hard with such clarity: to admit we were wrong, turn around, go the right way and try to make
- [Building the Good is Sustainable](https://horizongate.org/2025/02/building-the-good-is-sustainable/) - We list people throughout history who were change agents and remarkable for their perseverance. People such as Nelson Mandela, Mother Teresa, Martin Luther King Jr., Gandhi, Dorothy Day, and Jimmy Carter drew their strength from a place which the opposition could not touch. Each knew the value of daily remembering their limits and their True
- [Repentance in Drawings](https://horizongate.org/2025/01/repentance-in-drawings/) - Changing your mind for the better advances the common good globally.Download your copy of this poem at https://horizongate.org/poemgrphc
- [God in the Box](https://horizongate.org/2025/01/god-in-the-box/) - We know that everyone’s worldview helps them organize themselves to navigate their journey through life. But there is a broader influence on our movement through reality ...
- [Stones Witness Our Changes](https://horizongate.org/2024/12/stones-witness-our-changes/) - Nothing stops moving. The tilt of the earth keeps pointing at the sun in a different position second by second and we think, "It's already Christmas again?" The monumental rocks which we gaze at in awe for their fixed sameness each time we visit the mountains, are also changing so slowly it is imperceptible. But they witness the grass, trees, and campers speed by in their life cycles like we watch the life of a gnat.
- [Comforting Hovers](https://horizongate.org/2021/12/comforting-hovers/) - This is an oil painting with soundscape by Mark R. Turner. The painting, 35"x35", was done in Brussels, Belgium, in 1979 and inspired Mark to write a poem 28 years later, 2007, in the mountain community of Julian, California. As the camera moves over the painting, spoken poetic phrases lead through impressions of an ancient
- [Light is not Quenched](https://horizongate.org/2024/11/light-is-not-quenched/) - In our cosmic formation I believe the majority of people still prefer the light. The recent American nationalistic campaigns witnessed the dark side out-maneuvering a campaign for light and progress. I have listened to well-meaning people who despise the con man at the head but voted for him thinking they were using the bad to
- [Renting Can Be Creating](https://horizongate.org/2024/10/renting-can-be-creating/) - We are encountering the demands and barriers which have reached incredible heights since the last time we searched for a rental. How do we survive in such a greedy world? Conventional wisdom bases itself on material options of wealth, position, and power but we believe there is more to reality. Our believing is a way
- [The Content of Expression](https://horizongate.org/2024/09/the-content-of-expression/) - It is not only what you say and do that makes your contribution to the world. It is first simply that you say and that you do, whether or not anyone else listens, reads, or observes your deed. You allow your True Self the freedom to be inspired from Beyond, energized authentically without the obligation
- [Particles Dancing Together](https://horizongate.org/2024/08/particles-dancing-together/) - I am feeling our need to view ourselves with humility as particles of the incomprehensibly greater Whole. This causes our amazement to expand as we realize the glorious mystery of all particles moving together in the creation of … what is this we name “universe”? Clearly no expression is adequate to explain any one of
- [Get Out to Remember](https://horizongate.org/2024/07/get-out-to-remember/) - I must have been wishing at the beginning of last month for the vacation coming in the middle of this month. When I made the image above memories of water rushing over rocks and logs emerged in my contemplative painting.
- [Prayer Done in Crafting](https://horizongate.org/2024/06/prayer-done-in-crafting/) - Though the crafting practice has traveled with me many years, just last February I wrote about the contemplative craft (see “Handwork Contemplation”) and those thoughts have stuck with me as a fresh, counterintuitive way of personal growth. So, the new craft I offer is even more direct than the “Tree Puzzle”. It addresses prayer as
- [Thy Will Be Done](https://horizongate.org/2024/05/thy-will-be-done/) - It seems that many of us have given up on "The Lord's Prayer". It has become a thoughtless mumble in a ritual that seems too removed from our main life. Many no longer know what The Lord's Prayer is because their forebearers forgot about it already. In the prayer that Jesus taught his disciples
- [Art as Incarnation](https://horizongate.org/2023/09/art-as-incarnation/) - When I have created something, I think of the mysterious thoughts and moves within a person forming an idea, all that has gone before to make this person arrange mental concepts, images, formulae, memories of sounds which excite the hope of birthing something into the world. The energy of that interior excitement causes bodily action which changes or remixes the exterior world resulting in the becoming of something which was not there before. It is spirit incarnating materiality.
- [Tiny Lights Make Commotion](https://horizongate.org/2024/04/tiny-lights-make-commotion/) - The dizzying lights and action transport us to the carnival playground of color in motion. Every tiny, bright light and abstract shape contributes to the fun commotion of the whole.
- [The Person from Beyond](https://horizongate.org/2024/03/the-person-from-beyond/) - The institutional church over the centuries has “rarified” the phenomenon of Jesus’ Passion, making it more of an abstract, technical, theological symbol elevated away from its relevance to current life on earth.
- [Handwork Contemplation](https://horizongate.org/2024/02/handwork-contemplation/) - Turn away from your screens and remember your sense of touch, the faculty of eye-hand coordination, the joy of making something tangible. To engage in that primitive activity which fascinated you as a child is to reawaken an essential part of being human. It gives your inner person an opportunity to feel your connection with other elements of earth and to exercise your position as a person in the image of God.
- [A Short Film for the Season](https://horizongate.org/2024/02/a-short-film-for-the-season/) - Here is help to pause with nature and reconnect with Life beyond our stresses. Contemplative music accompanying photos we have collected in nature offer eleven minutes of retreat. Many people remember this discipline at this time of year when Lent begins with Ash Wednesday. The Rev. Rick Malec commissioned this contemplative film to play in
- [Stories Cultivate the Soul](https://horizongate.org/2024/01/stories-cultivate-the-soul/) - My new book Tales to Cultivate the Soul: 11 alternative stories will be released January 20. Pre-orders are available for only $2. Presales are $1.50 by giving me your email on Smashwords.com. This connection gives you advance notice of print versions and new books. Get the book on our books page. The price goes up
- [Unconditional Love](https://horizongate.org/2023/12/unconditional-love/) - This is the season when masses of people make special effort to express Love. I encourage everyone to participate in this. I know that much of our efforts overemphasize materialism in “opening the presents”, and consuming extra food and drink. But it is possible for us to refine that, taking the opportunity to demonstrate and
- [Preparing for the Season](https://horizongate.org/2023/10/preparing-for-the-season/) - It is standard practice for merchants to start preparing for the Christmas season in July or August so that by October the necessary assets are in place to spring them on the public the day after Thanksgiving (in the U.S.) late November. This causes the appearance of surprise decorations around town reminding the masses to
- [Stories from the Deep](https://horizongate.org/2022/09/stories-from-the-deep/) - An old professor of mine, Robert McKee, who has since become the world authority on “Story”, is announcing his last season teaching his groundbreaking 3-day STORY seminars in Los Angeles, New York and London. When I sat under him at San Diego State University, he taught what evolved into his universal mantra, “Write the Truth.”
- [Computer Crash - Life Expands](https://horizongate.org/2016/11/computer-crash-life-expands/) - The other day I had a real scare. The primary tool I work with everyday to serve clients, write , and make art -- my computer crashed. This was not only a sudden threat to my livelihood, but to my life's mission of helping others through art to rise up to their highest potential. Signs
- [Art Makes Something Greater Than Art](https://horizongate.org/2017/04/art-makes-something-greater-than-art/) - This is the seventh in a series which you can start HERE, or review the previous post HERE. This post corresponds to the beginning of chapter 3 in my book Your Table of Creation entitled "Exhibition." You have asked and received the inspiration for an idea. Known only to you as it grew in your mind,
- [From Space Dust to Cities](https://horizongate.org/2023/08/from-space-dust-to-cities/) - Twenty poems and six essays are paired with thirty-two works of art and photography in this contemplative volume. The poems and essays are drawn from the past decade of my 53 year career as a playwright, visual artist, filmmaker and teacher. You can purchase your copy at https://bit.ly/SpaceDust2Citiesor participate in sustaining contemplative expression like this
- [Recover Spontaneities](https://horizongate.org/2023/07/recover-spontaneities/) - In my meditations outside in Idyllwild, California, before the sun was fully visible five doves alighted calmly on branches above me. I felt the visit of beloved family.
- [Before Verbiage](https://horizongate.org/2023/06/before-verbiage/) - Two announcements are made in this post about a new poetry volume and the nature photography of Donna L. Turner. Preview the poetry and pictures here.
- [Relational Wealth](https://horizongate.org/2023/05/relational-wealth/) - Competition is a basic tenet of society and energizes most people in our endeavors. It is an assumption that is taught to us when we are just beginning to appreciate being members of a world full of people. Early in life our worldview is conformed to seeing others as competitors in fun, games, education, jobs,
- [Warning and Prayer](https://horizongate.org/2023/04/warning-and-prayer/) - I am reading Christians Against Christianity by Obery M. Hendricks Jr., a book that I have to close between chapters to calm myself down in anguish over the hijacking and reversal of Christ-following. Hendricks, like me, came from an evangelical church culture in which “Christian living [was] synonymous with compassion … respect for proper authority
- [Childlikeness Is Better](https://horizongate.org/2023/03/childlikeness-is-better/) - I have always been aware of and preferred my “original self”. It is the free self which I experienced as a child. I was fortunate to have parents who embraced spirituality in all that they did, including parenting. It was my way of life to be sensitive to the Reality beyond the material and let
- [Awakening To The Presence](https://horizongate.org/2023/02/awakening-to-the-presence/) - I am always glad to find in another artist a similar experience in the life of creating. Researching last month’s post I began to get better acquainted with poet W.H. Auden who was courageous in his willingness to grow and change. When Auden was a rising star in England, he saw that he was headed
- [All History Is Right Now](https://horizongate.org/2023/01/all-history-is-right-now/) - Do you dream of returning to the simpler, idyllic state of the Garden of Eden (Arcadian view), or do you believe we can finally make our way forward to the perfect arrangement (Utopian view)? Usually each of these views is casting to the past or to the future in search of the Happy Place excused
- [A Kid Knocks](https://horizongate.org/2022/12/a-kid-knocks/) - Listen to this short audio theater piece from an old stage play as you contemplate the meaning of Advent and Christmas in a new way this season.
- [Knowing What to Believe](https://horizongate.org/2022/10/knowing-what-to-believe/) - Many of us get overwhelmed with the issues and, especially in this U.S. "midterm election" season, find it hard to cope with the barrage of political campaigns. Some just take short cuts instead of thinking about everything; just follow their gut which is influenced by whoever shouts the loudest. How do I know what to
- [Truth or Lie and Vice Versa](https://horizongate.org/2022/02/truth-or-lie-and-vice-versa/) - The lie is a widely accepted and legitimized technique for getting what we want. It seems the general public thinks lying is a normal option to employ as needed. To many it is not remarkable that a public official or industry leader uses lies to get their agenda forward and succeed in their life goals.
- [Becoming Symbols](https://horizongate.org/2022/08/becoming-symbols/) - We visited the exhibit “Monet to Matisse” at the San Diego Museum of Art in July. It contained examples of Les Nabis, a group of artists in the late 1880’s, which affirmed the idea that art was not only a visual or sensory phenomenon, but primarily an intangible experience aided by the artist’s creation.
- [Portals to God](https://horizongate.org/2022/07/portals-to-god/) - I appreciate what you do for and give to me, but you are more than what you give and do. You are a portal to God to the extent that you allow yourself to be. Every human is an extension of God to one another and to all Creation but not all are aware of the capacity for Good that this gives them
- [Being the Seed of the New](https://horizongate.org/2022/06/being-the-seed-of-the-new/) - There is a beauty in opening, turning out to radiate inner goodness to the world beyond oneself. We all have that progression in our natural birth, growth and relating as a member of humanity. Self-love grows to include the rest of the members of our extended Body Creation. Part of maturing to wholeness is the
- [Believing In the Larger Reality](https://horizongate.org/2022/04/believing-in-the-larger-reality/) - Most of us act like we don't believe anything is beyond this earthly life and that death is the immutable end. But, since before pre-history we have been sensing there is more and mostly have thought of it as worth the time and effort to honor. We call it spirituality and we devise religions to
- [The Animalistic vs. New Creation](https://horizongate.org/2022/03/the-animalistic-vs-new-creation/) - Putin and his followers (including notable American admirers) are living by an animalistic paradigm we tell ourselves we have left in prehistory. It is the cave man mentality of amassing your personal empire by force and enslavement. Bullying is the paradigm with disregard for the fullness of humanity and focus on material ownership. The human
- [New Energy for 2022](https://horizongate.org/2022/01/new-energy-for-2022/) - We’ve been reminded of our relational nature by the pandemic dragging on, restricting interaction with one another. Some of us have been quicker than others to develop new ways of connecting with each other. While in-person gathering cannot be replicated by remote techniques, it is important to put our technology to work and gain the
- [God In Flesh](https://horizongate.org/2021/11/god-in-flesh/) - I am thankful for the season of Advent, Christmas and Epiphany bringing the profound largess of Love close to my whole being. Gradually I am awakening to the reality that God is not a separate being aloof and impersonal, but, as scripture says of God’s word, “close, even in your mouth and in your heart”
- [The Artist's Rule of Life](https://horizongate.org/2021/11/the-artists-rule-of-life/) - If you do not understand a work of art, just sit with it like you would sit in Nature. Just allow it to trickle through your thoughts and consider that you are growing in something new, and that is good. The artist followed an impulse in an intentional way which has become the discipline of their life. For centuries this has been called a Rule of Life and usually is associated with the way a monastery conducts lif
- [The Impulse to Make](https://horizongate.org/2021/10/the-impulse-to-make/) - The starting point of making something is not with the materials, although I do find that playing with materials and tools generates inspiration. It is the non-material inspiration which empowers the process of making. Contemplation of the immaterial, the idea, the inspiration, is the part to which I recommend giving more attention in the making
- [When You Pause](https://horizongate.org/2021/09/when-you-pause/) - In the labors and burdens of life we at one moment or another sigh, “God.” If we let that sigh extend beyond the moment, we can discover new expanse in our universe, new capacity to rest and be renewed. Focusing and simplifying help to pursue that expansion and the ways to do that are as
- [Connectedness](https://horizongate.org/2021/08/connectedness/) - I created an abstract painting entitled “Diversity Joined” and saw it as good. (See it HERE.) Then I divided it apart like puzzle pieces as I thought about how we are so immersed in studying and using the whole Creation, how we dissect and separate everything as a method of comprehending or encompassing it. We
- [Art In the Noosphere](https://horizongate.org/2021/07/art-in-the-noosphere/) - Usually, after completing an arduous work of art, I experience an emptiness. This is often a period of wandering grappling with questions like “What else can I say? What else can I try? Why write and make art? Who cares?” -- remnant thoughts from humanity’s long history of self-focus. Lately I’ve been asking, “Why am I watching tutorials and learning new technology?”
- [Difference: The Field of Creation](https://horizongate.org/2021/06/difference-the-field-of-creation/) - When we look at a painting on the wall, or a sculpture in a park, we are looking at a physical manifestation of the artist. In a sense the artist is present because they deposited some of themselves into the paint, or bronze. They brought forth from their intangible self a unique arrangement by which
- [Death Is Okay, Right?](https://horizongate.org/2021/05/death-is-okay-right/) - As a young person I was oblivious of death, and this was represented by my favorite poem in college, Dylan Thomas’ “Fern Hill,” (first stanza) “Now as I was young and easy under the apple boughs About the lilting house and happy as the grass was green, The night above the dingle starry, Time let
- [From Parts to the Whole](https://horizongate.org/2021/04/from-parts-to-the-whole/) - I am offering here a myth in the best sense of the word. It is just a sketch about what has been happening since the Big Bang until now. Just a sketch full of rough edges from my thinking that God is making more than we realize, but that we have over the last few
- [Where's My Sting?](https://horizongate.org/2021/03/wheres-my-sting/) - During the sunrise on the first Friday of this month, my Dad passed beyond this world after 96 orbits around the sun. It is significant that this happened while I have been working on a comedy sketch for the Easter season coming in the next few weeks. Written in 2001, it is entitled “Where’s My
- [Check What You Believe](https://horizongate.org/2021/02/check-what-you-believe/) - Puzzling over the massive delusions rampant in our populace, I have written many pages of analysis counseling the reader to Check What You Believe, but, too many words; words too limited. I am choosing the wisdom of sparse, poetic lines to aid contemplation. Comments help with this one after you read it.
- [Getting Wealth](https://horizongate.org/2021/01/getting-wealth/) - . . . even if race had not been invented as a way of eliminating competition, our view would still be that the emphasis on devoting one’s life to material gain is an incomplete view of humanity.
- [Film Animates Notes](https://horizongate.org/2018/08/film-animates-notes/) - This is an animated memo of thoughts from my journal resulting from contemplation aboutour origins,the dynamic growth of the material universe,why there is something rather than nothing,the great amount that humanity has learned which increases the mysteries of our existence,the existence of a creature which contemplates such things,how we have an actual effect upon our
- ["Here Am I Listening" Film is Here](https://horizongate.org/2017/10/here-am-i-listening-film-is-here/) - Here is the short art film of the poem expressed in spontaneous drawings featured in September. I wrote the poem in September, 2011, during the process of major personal losses, moving to a less desirable environment and facing the mystery of the future. This August we were experiencing surprising, positive developments in life and I
- [A Walk in the Mountains](https://horizongate.org/2018/07/a-walk-in-the-mountains/) - I made this short video during our vacation while contemplating nature with Donna on a very quiet walk near our campsite in the Laguna Mountains. I pan across a far reaching meadow framed by pine forest both shading us and in the distance. I sense that it all embraces me and I am kindred to
- [Film of Painter Phil Petrie](https://horizongate.org/2015/05/film-of-painter-phil-petrie/) - Our community of artists is rich with thinkers and talent. In 2013 we released a two-part documentary of Philip Petrie, an oil painter in our community whose paintings were then showing at the Martha Pace Swift Gallery in San Diego (NTC). The films are embedded below. Phil is one painter who exemplifies integration of the
- [Power of the Tiny Particle](https://horizongate.org/2020/12/power-of-the-tiny-particle/) - Sometimes, when saturated with national and global news, we tend to focus on that larger picture and neglect our main responsibility on the microlevel of our personal relationships and local community. Voting and demonstrating about the larger issues are good and important community responsibilities, but most of our effectiveness is in the place where we live.
- [Loss Opens Eyes](https://horizongate.org/2020/11/loss-opens-eyes/) - Worried about losing? Experiencing loss? Even winners have to lose something in order to win. When loss happens it is the opportunity to glimpse our True Self -- who we are without that which we just lost.
- [Rising to Freedom](https://horizongate.org/2020/09/rising-to-freedom/) - We are being destroyed as a nation and as individuals, but we can change the things that are destroying us.

- [Open Without Fear](https://horizongate.org/2020/08/open-without-fear/) - In my new novella Ray of Lightning, just released, I show people caught in various kinds of slavery. Some are blinded by deception that covers up assumptions enslaving them, while others use deception to help them survive oppression. Will they break out of their prisons? What kind of miracle can open impossible walls? I started
- [Rising From Deep Under](https://horizongate.org/2015/12/rising-from-deep-under/) - Four months ago a short, simple poem emerged from my early morning meditations and started me building this mixed media image which I finished just in time for the New Year. I had been contemplating my progression in life and the faith that it is like rising from the world of deep ocean; changing slowly
- [Watching Ourselves Change](https://horizongate.org/2020/04/watching-ourselves-change/) - This animation was started 50 years ago. Wanting to practice on my new graphics tablet and explore Photoshop's animation features, I used a photo of a six foot painting I did in my youth as a template to draw progressively, frame by frame, a new version of the painting.
- [Break Our Chains](https://horizongate.org/2020/07/break-our-chains/) - To the extent that we see anyone in bondage, we know it could be us. Apart from the unjust enslavement of other human beings (and there are many kinds practiced today), we all voluntarily enter into bondage in some way or other. In confronting any individual about the bondage they have entered into I know
- [Where You Are Grounded](https://horizongate.org/2020/06/where-you-are-grounded/) - As particles of a greater body which we cannot comprehend we are each important and to be honored for the life we each radiate in countless expressions. Humans not only express but respond to and build upon other expressions.
- [Opportunity to Stop](https://horizongate.org/2020/03/opportunity-to-stop/) - Thank you to all who are working harder and longer under more risk. Most of us have been forced to stop. We feel the harshness of the measures taken to fight the pandemic and keep safe.
- [Pain, the Cosmic Work](https://horizongate.org/2020/02/pain-the-cosmic-work/) - At this writing I have been living with the pain of a gout attack for about a week. As all who live with pain will say, "You don't know what I feel unless you've been there." Of course we all have our unique experience with pain. So, really "nobody knows the trouble I see." I
- [Dancing Daily Grows the New Creature](https://horizongate.org/2020/01/dancing-daily-grows-the-new-creature/) - I'm reading Teilhard de Chardin's The Phenomenon of Man (1955) in which he describes life transforming to more and more complexity and shows that life continues to grow beyond the outward form. As a prominent paleontologist and naturalist as well as Jesuit priest he believed life sciences should explore not only the outer forms - the skeletons that remain, the physical effects, the material world - but include the "within" - the imagination, consciousness, the spiritual.
- [Amounting to Something](https://horizongate.org/2019/11/amounting-to-something/) - The greatest pressure in life for many people is to "amount to something." To them it means to be successful in performing, productivity, gaining position, and receiving honor. It charges the young to focus energies, fuels wannabes to work harder, makes winners feel like they succeeded. It faces us down with resistance and intimidates some
- [The Particle and The Whole](https://horizongate.org/2019/10/the-particle-and-the-whole/) - It seems with our current capacities to observe the vast universe as well as impossibly tiny particles, that people have never before been so aware of our ambiguous status in reality. To the vast universe we are impossibly tiny. To the impossibly tiny particles we are each a universe. But we gravitate toward a whole
- [Loved and Accepted](https://horizongate.org/2019/08/loved-and-accepted/) - It is well known that affirming one’s children is key to their future success. But all parents work within limits based on their own parents’ limited ability to love and affirm. Even when we try to be affirming, our children do not always receive it. They develop their own limits which they pass on to
- [The Great Culmination](https://horizongate.org/2019/07/the-great-culmination/) - It does not take a very discerning analysis to conclude that the driving force of most human endeavor is focused on the material world. We are all living at some level of acquiring, managing, serving, or struggling with the material circumstances of reality. It is considered normal to view the material world as reality. Yet,
- [Diversity Gravitates](https://horizongate.org/2019/06/diversity-gravitates/) - You look everywhere and see more differences than sameness. How can there be togetherness? It is because we are all different that we can make a whole. You don’t want a puzzle with every piece the same. How would they fit together? We open a little bit to admit some variety
- [God In the Limits](https://horizongate.org/2019/05/god-in-the-limits/) - Breaking out of our limits has been a primary passion of humanity since prehistory. Artists appreciate limits for the liberating revelations they give. Before the Big Bang there was a yearning to be known and to fellowship. The Yearning manifested in forms. Only by way of form can the Beyond be known by us. And
- [Sending Spiritual Power](https://horizongate.org/2019/04/sending-spiritual-power/) - Humans have the extraordinary capacity of knowing more than we can manage and imagining even more beyond that. Many empathize with needs that are beyond their ability to fulfill.
- [The Thread Makes a Blanket](https://horizongate.org/2019/03/the-thread-makes-a-blanket/) - One thing most of us try not to think about is how small we are. And the more we avoid the thought the more we feel big and significant. Occasionally we visit a big place like ...
- [Living Beyond Certainty](https://horizongate.org/2019/02/living-beyond-certainty/) - I have caught myself blocking the thought that I could possibly be wrong. The possibility of the unknown, or lack of certainty makes me nervous, even afraid. Wrapped up in that fear is the fear of being tortured forever by the consequences of making a mistake. (Preachers used to shout at me about burning in
- [Growing Explores the Unknown](https://horizongate.org/2019/01/growing-explores-the-unknown/) - We are created to grow: plants, beasts, humans and the universe. Optimism is the gardener's viewpoint when planting a seed, repotting a plant, pruning limbs, and mulching the roots; long term, patient optimism about life progressing. That's one of my favorite metaphors of God nurturing us in unknown ways as well as through the people
- [The Oddity of Christmas](https://horizongate.org/2018/12/the-oddity-of-christmas/) - It’s so strange; and yet it goes on and on for millennia, this re-telling of so many seeming aberrations in reality, this whole advent of Christ. Fable, myth, imaginary, whatever, it represents something that no explanation completely accounts for.
- [6 Stanzas for the Season](https://horizongate.org/2018/11/6-stanzas-for-the-season/) - If you want Christmas to be more than an expensive and exhausting shopping-decorating-partying-cooking marathon ending with just one evening and a day, I invite you to join me in these six stanzas. Contemplate with me some of the profound claims that have given rise to our celebration. The Absolute came down And mingled in the
- [The Values of Victimhood](https://horizongate.org/2018/10/the-values-of-victimhood/) - In the wake of the scandalous hearings of Brett Kavanaugh’s assumption to the Supreme Court I re-read the story of the woman making a spectacle of herself by anointing Jesus’ feet at a very exclusive dinner party (Luke 7:36-50). I had to think about Jesus turning to the woman and saying, “Your sins are forgiven.
- [Voice Your Own Stories](https://horizongate.org/2018/09/voice-your-own-stories/) - To know something because you were there is different from learning it second hand. Some would say it is better to have been there and done that than to be told about it, even if it took a multi-million-dollar budget, superstar actors and a symphony orchestra to tell you. Not that the big production is
- [Overcoming Crimes Against Humanity](https://horizongate.org/2018/07/overcoming-crimes-against-humanity/) - Is darkness asserting over Bodies of the groping climbers Venturing into wilderness Lawns of I-got-mine'rs? Do the brutal grabs Of ice defenders Tear the baby from the breast And cage her worse than crime? Buy more perfume dispensers To breathe perpetual Clouds of ambivalence; Switch off news offenders Interrupting production consumption Production consumption. Is it
- [Your Point of Pressure](https://horizongate.org/2018/06/your-point-of-pressure/) - A friend and I were standing outside at night in the summer, mountain air. The stars were gloriously spread across the clear sky and my friend asked, "What is the first thing you think of when you look up there?" My involuntary impulse was "love." On the surface I think I meant that I loved
- [Why Walk Into the Unknown?](https://horizongate.org/2018/05/why-walk-into-the-unknown/) - Reading about Johannes Kepler's given circumstances (1571-1630), buildings blocking his astronomical observations, having to move repeatedly to find new accommodations conducive to his work (Prague, Linz), the coming and going of his employers (government changes and rulers), troubles of warring peoples (peasants' war burned down the printing firm which he needed to publish his works),
- [Advent: What We Shall Be](https://horizongate.org/2017/12/advent-what-we-shall-be/) - Many call this season Advent. It's about something happening and yet not completely here; knowing something good which has been promised will come. We know things are not completely as they should be, but we can imagine something better. At times like Christmas we tend to close off disturbing circumstances and fantasize a perfect, abundant,
- [This Film Renews Ancient Warning](https://horizongate.org/2018/04/this-film-renews-ancient-warning/) - I am a late viewer of Leonardo DiCaprio's important documentary “Before the Flood” (2016) . It starts with Hieronymus Bosch's monumental artistic prophecy (painted between 1490 and 1510) of humanity's degradation of the Creation and then documents the real, current day fulfillment of it. We have had ample prophets to warn us of our errors in
- [Are We Growing Up?](https://horizongate.org/2018/03/are-we-growing-up/) - I am thankful to find writers all around who put into words principles that I experience in my work and contemplation. I found an unusual and ground-breaking book of theology and the arts entitled Found Theology: History, Imagination and the Holy Spirit by Ben Quash. Because the book is a complex volume with many references to contributing
- [Still Learning to Participate](https://horizongate.org/2018/02/still-learning-to-participate/) - This image is an expansion of the flow chart from the post “Art and Poetry are Evolutionary,” about the onward flow of creation (June, 2016). It was a very simple, linear view of how the spiritual awakening of an individual creator can unite with others' awakenings, resulting in community-awakening, which can build to the larger
- [Creating In the Middle of Trouble](https://horizongate.org/2018/01/creating-in-the-middle-of-trouble/) - I have been reading about the years of the Renaissance (roughly 1300 to 1500 – no hard boundaries). We think of the Renaissance as the most glorious period of art, writing, music and discoveries, the time of geniuses accomplishing masterpieces of beauty which the world had never known. Of course they were able to be so
- [Meeting Vincent Van Gogh](https://horizongate.org/2015/05/meeting-vincent-van-gogh/) - by Mark R. Turner - I remember meeting Vincent Van Gogh in person for the first time. When I think of all the things which could have circumvented our meeting I thank God for the enormous effort put forth by Vincent and so many helpers to ensure our meeting.

You can click HERE for the second post, or HERE for the third post. The process usually attributed to artists is not unique to artists. It is the process of creation we can observe in
- [Ask, Seek, Knock = Creation](https://horizongate.org/2016/10/ask-seek-knock-creation/) - In the last post I showed the "Table of Creation" below which reflects prompts from my 47+ years of experience practicing the arts. I have found that the concepts it represents can be applied to almost any field of creation. You can review what I said about it by clicking HERE. In this series I will

- [Nurturing the Idea Within](https://horizongate.org/2017/01/nurturing-the-idea-within/) - This is the fourth in a series which you can start HERE, or review the previous post HERE. The Inner Activity In the previous post I discussed inspiration as an asking time. This asking usually becomes a dialogue in my personal languages and images working out the creation. I take this to be the Holy Spirit
- [From Idea to Real Thing](https://horizongate.org/2017/02/from-idea-to-real-thing/) - This is the fifth in a series which you can start HERE, or review the previous post HERE. The first aspect of creation we have considered is “inspiration” which we described as a contemplative, prayerful time sparking our belief that inspired creation will come forth. That intangible time meditating on idea begins to move me
- [Seeing More Than Christmas](https://horizongate.org/2016/11/seeing-more-than-christmas/) - My prayer is for all who will to pause long enough to recognize more Truth and Beauty. Here is a poem I wrote about that. Going into Bethlehem To see this thing Of which we were told, We gazed on the baby, Another of us born anew. The world did not know him, or us, For
- [Art and Poetry are Evolutionary](https://horizongate.org/2016/06/art-and-poetry-are-evolutionary/) - Walter Brueggemann has said that artists and poets call us to imagine the world differently. Ideally, artists and poets present us with perspectives outside our established routines and systems, outside our ideologies of protection, denial, privilege and exceptionalism. They call us to wait and listen, to ponder, to return to the imaginative; imagine a place
- [Your Containers Or Your Life](https://horizongate.org/2016/02/your-containers-or-your-life/) - My mixed media image has us sitting out with the containers. But, wouldn't you like to see what that design is like on the layer behind? There is a story about a wedding celebration which went way beyond an afternoon reception and partied so hard they ran out of wine. Jesus and his disciples were
- [Pause Long Enough](https://horizongate.org/2015/11/pause-long-enough/) - This season recalls the principle of great, cosmic reality being revealed by the seemingly insignificant piece. Some have been mindful of key details (persons) when most of us have passed over them. Holidays bring added details with obligations to rush through; or we could take time to appreciate what many have no time for. We stand
- [A Work of Art Evolves](https://horizongate.org/2015/06/a-work-of-art-evolves/) - It can be useful and interesting to see the stages through which an artist takes his materials in the development of a work. In the case I show you here, each stage can be complete as a member of a series. Collage Construct No. 1 (Larger view HERE.) This composition began about 44 years ago
- [Execution: 2 of 3 Stages](https://horizongate.org/2015/05/execution-2-of-3-stages/) - In telling about the first stage of my art making process I described the mostly unseen interior life of inspiration. It is tormenting if this part does not develop to the point where I start making something. In fact, that is sometimes what gets artists back to their canvas, keyboard, or block of marble:
- [The Burning Bush Revisited](https://horizongate.org/2015/05/the-burning-bush-revisited/) - by Mark Turner - Here is my digital drawing/collage contemplating the burning bush which Moses turned aside to see (referred to at the end of my previous post).

- [Look At the Moment](https://horizongate.org/2015/05/look-at-the-moment/) - Look at the moment; Hold the sight of frozen time; Treasure those people, Those events which turn our story.

From billions of light years distant Perceive
- [William Blake Still Encourages Us](https://horizongate.org/2015/05/william-blake-still-encourages-us/) - by Mark Turner - When we see elements of our vision in other people's lives, it confirms our mission, especially when we see them in people's lives back through past ages. That is where we connect with world history. The differences in our expressions of these inspirations today are our contribution to the on-going enlightenment
- [Exhibition: 3 of 3 Stages](https://horizongate.org/2015/05/exhibition-3-of-3-stages/) - There is much resistance within and around the artist as they pass through the inspiration and execution stages. But often the greatest resistance is after successfully navigating the first two stages and actually completing a work. So much time, energy and materials usually goes into a work to bring it that far, the artist
- [Inspiration: 1 of 3 Stages](https://horizongate.org/2015/05/inspiration-1-of-3-stages/) - What do you think artists do? Paint at an easel? Chisel a block of marble? My life as an artist hovers around three basic principles to which I have found art historians and other artists also refer. Thinking on these will give guidance to the artist and help everyone appreciate works of art more profoundly. I hope they
