This Website Has Secrets

There's an easter egg hidden somewhere on this site. Can you find it?

It's a throwback to a hidden message I included in my first few websites. In 5th grade my dad handed me a copy of some website editing software. Web design has been a creative outlet since.

One reason why I blog is to collaborate with folks.

I regularly publish poems and random things with a creative commons license in the spirit of creative collaboration. If you see something that you want to work with, run with it. Let's create something.

Stuck? Here are some creative ways to tell stories online:

Create a symbol

One night in high school, I was stressed. I went on a walk to pray and clear my head.

Specifically, I was thinking about how lame it was to define myself by clothes or music.

I wondered what it would feel like to walk away from something I loved and relied on, like the trendy baseball cap I wore that night.

I loved that hat, partly because my brother gave it to me and partly because it made me feel in vogue. I took my hat off and let it drop to the road. I kept walking.

It felt great.

Now when I shift a hat on my head, I’m sometimes reminded of my walk, and my commitment to remember what defines me.

Symbols are everywhere in our culture. For instance, I think it was pretty brilliant when Jesus was like, I’m about to leave, but I want you to remember that I am life, like what you actually eat and drink.

Not all symbols are disseminated widely, or are even meant to be, but I’m fascinated by the little ones we humans create. They sure are powerful.

Just a thought if you’ve been thinking about how to remember something you’re passionate about: perhaps create a symbol.
