Sage of
Consciousness E-zine
ISSN 1555-192X
An international online thematic ezine and journal created by a volunteer
group of writers and artists.
Volume 1, Issue 3
Theme: Musings: Resonating Places
Featured Writer: Janet Butler
Deadline for Submissions: October 10, 2005
Issue will post: November 10, 2005
http://www.sageofcon.com/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=1
This theme is designed around place—the sense of place, and the beauty of place. Places that touch us, inspire us, revive us, enlighten and delight us.
Ever went somewhere and felt you had been there before; even though your feet had never met that soil, that tile, that rock, that carpet, ever? Places that haunt and remind, damn and redeem? Memories that often resonate within you throughout your entire existence. That special place from childhood that only you knew—nooked and crannied beyond anyone else's visibility. That special place as you grow older that only you can appreciate—only you see the beauty in a dilapidated bench. Resonating places that have you musing and wondering—writing or snapping. Perhaps even that mad painting as brushes fly across canvass fondly caressing, creating that place in your own vision.
First and second issues posted to see an example of
our magazine and works we accept.
