An Act of Darkness

July 20, 2021 CJ Bowers

I want to curl up into a ball and sleep for a week. After finishing up with Purge, the latest show to hit the stage in Fort McMurray and the first one to run post-COVID, I find myself exhausted. But it's more than that. I feel worn - raw. As if someone is about to… Continue reading An Act of Darkness

On Hold

April 18, 2021April 18, 2021 CJ Bowers

What do you do when everything in your life seems to go wrong? When the whole world appears to be against you, and you feel trapped? It can be scary. It can be demoralizing. It can be paralyzing. But it's ultimately human. I've found myself reflecting a bit on the last ten years of my… Continue reading On Hold

March 28, 2021March 29, 2021 CJ Bowers

"What should I do?" Now there's a question! And a loaded one at that. There's no simple answer either. Far from it, in fact. But it's a question that gets you thinking.

The world is a mess. There are times when simply getting through the day is a grueling, painful task.

Facebook, Twitter, and a whole host of other services are… Continue reading Everybody Else is Wrong

Conversational Silence

November 25, 2019November 25, 2019 CJ Bowers

To whom it may concern: One day, while I was attending a meeting at work, my boss looked at me and said, “You’re staying incredibly quiet about this. What do you think?” This has often been a theme in my life; the perception that I am too quiet. This is also, perhaps, not necessarily untrue.… Continue reading Conversational Silence

Life by Numbers: A Lesson in Art

October 14, 2019October 14, 2019 CJ Bowers

Learning happens when you least expect it. There are very few people who know that one of my favourite pastimes and ways to decompress mentally is to pick up a brush and paint. And when I say paint, I mean acrylic paint on a canvas, not to be confused with builders beige on drywall. I'll… Continue reading Life by Numbers: A Lesson in Art
