Music Around the World Video Club

This club is all about appreciating the universality of music. No matter what’s going on in different countries so far as things like wars, social disturbances, or economic headaches are concerned, people instinctively make and share music. The CTI Admin team suggested we share culturally diverse music videos like “Italian hip-hop, French blues, Asian folk, etc., presented in blogs, the video section, or on club posts.” I support that suggestion but also hope you share as many videos here in…See More

A Thirst.......

Like the hunt of a sea wave for a shore;Like the silence of a pale sky for a song;Like the gaze of a blue moon for a ray;You are a thirst of my love for a depth;You are a tear-burst of my life for a death   BYWILLIAMSJI MAVELIwilliamsji@yahoo.comwww.williamsji.comSee More

Poem: Human Veil

Oh the irony of this mortal situation,being encased in this temporary flesh.For I’m momentarily bound to this earth,although I anticipate my heavenly journey.At the moment of Christ’s crucifixion,the temple curtain was torn in two by God,ripping it from the top to its bottom,which signified His personal invitation…for unhindered, one-on-one interaction.And yet I yearn to feel His presence,knowing that my sin keeps us separated.Struggling seems futile, since He…promised to never forsake His…See More

Roses Of Grace

"Roses Of Grace" My love gave me a fresh scented white rose.It smiled tenderly with its natural purity...I held it to my heart and thought of bliss.My love gave me a bountiful pink rose...It made me warm with a deep appreciation;I, joyfully, kept caressing it heartily!My love gave me a red rose that woke upMy inner woman, and my heart beat faster, As my soul danced to its blissed beats' cadence.My love gave me a wonderful green rose...Its petals suffused scent of love and grace."For us" he said…See More

Poem: Human Veil

Oh the irony of this mortal situation,

being encased in this temporary flesh.

For I’m momentarily bound to this earth,

although I anticipate my heavenly journey.

At the moment of Christ’s crucifixion,

the temple curtain was torn in two by God,

ripping it from the top to its bottom,

which signified His personal invitation…

for unhindered, one-on-one interaction.

And yet I yearn to feel His presence,

knowing that my sin keeps us separated.

Struggling…

Poem: Another Season of Spring

Another season of Spring is here

and again I’m one with the shiny rake.

Will this new tool survive the year,

before in my hand, it eventually breaks?

These annual attempts of mastering physics

of “leaf dynamics”, during the removal of leaves,

is usually a pleasant task of physical joy,

since my searching spirit is at rest and ease.

However, the annoyance of my insect entourage

of gnats, no-see-ums, mosquitoes and black flies

distracts me, from…

Twelve Moons

"Twelve Moons"



Two thousand and thirteen is the year of twelve moons, 

Combining energy to set women's freedom and powers...

Wolf Moon starts the year with hungry howling in the night,

Snow Moon follows as harsh weather impedes growth;

Worm Moon celebrates earthworms and robins return,

Pink Moon of this night moss, pink come bring your light;

Flower Moon of heart and mind, colors and…

Fishing With Lucy

2007, revised May 2nd, 2013



How neatly northerly she points her tail,

With fluffsome front paws pointing to the south;

Whiskers point west and eastwards, without fail,

Each side of her benignly-smiling mouth.



She navigates from…

The Path of a Creative Thinker at CTI

CREATIVE THINKERS INTERNATIONAL MEMBERSHIP GUIDELINES





1. Membership at CTI is free and open to all those interested in either the production or appreciation of the creative arts, to include literature, visual art, dance, music, film, spiritual theory, the social sciences, philosophy, general humanities, scientific inquiry, education in general, and other disciplines intended to enhance the quality of life for all humanity. Applicants should be at least 17 years old and members are allowed one full profile per person.

2. Materials posted by Members of CTI are their sole responsibility and not that of CTI management or any other member of the CTI site.

3. While recognizing that the work of creative artists is often controversial by its very nature, CTI prohibits and discourages the posting of any overtly obscene and intentionally inflammatory material. These include overt pornography, racist diatribes, religious slander, and any postings promoting discrimination against or the oppression of other human beings.

4. In the interest of stimulating creative growth, we encourage dialogue and even debate. However, Members should avoid leaving intentionally offensive or antagonistic remarks on the pages of Fellow Members. We can disagree and still remain a harmonious community.

5. Explore, grow, share, and enjoy your creative success.

Please remember, these guidelines are likely to evolve as the site itself continues to evolve and develop. We welcome and encourage your input. After all, yours are some of the best minds on the planet so we would be very foolish not to listen to what you have to say.
