Ocean

Ocean is more ancient than the mountains, and freighted with the memories and the dreams of Time. - H. P. Lovecraft
This is an absolute necessity for anybody today. You must have a room, or a certain hour or so a day, where you don’t know what was in the newspapers this morning, you don’t know who your friends are, you don’t know what you owe anybody, you don’t know what anybody owes you. This is a place where you can simply experience and bring forth what you are and what you might be. This is the place of creative incubation. At first you might find that nothing happens there. But if you have a sacred place and use it, something eventually will happen.- Joseph Campbell

The conscious mind may be compared to a fountain playing in the sun and falling back into the great subterranean pool of subconscious from which it rises.- Sigmund Freud
Either you decide to stay in the shallow end of the pool or you go out in the ocean.- Christopher Reeve
Men go abroad to wonder at the heights of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motions of the stars, and they pass by themselves without wondering.- Saint Augustine
Kierkegaard's torment was the direct result of seeing the world as it really is in relation to his situation as a creature. The prison of one's character is painstakingly built to deny one thing and one thing alone: one's creatureliness. The creatureliness is the terror. Once admit that you are a defecating creature and you invite the primeval ocean of creature anxiety to flood over you. But it is more than creature anxiety, it is also man's anxiety, the anxiety that results from the human paradox that man is an animal who is conscious of his animal limitation. Anxiety is the result of the percep tion of the truth of one's condition. What does it mean to be a self-conscious animal? The idea is ludicrous, if it is not monstrous. It means to know that one is food for worms. This is the terror: to have emerged from nothing, to have a name, consciousness of self, deep inner feelings, an excruciating inner yearning for life and self- expression—and with all this yet to die. It seems like a hoax, which is why one type of cultural man rebels openly against the idea of God. What kind of deity would create such complex and fancy worm food? - Ernest Becker
We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch - we are going back from whence we came. - John F. Kennedy
What would an ocean be without a monster lurking in the dark? It would be like sleep without dreams.― Werner Herzog

Note; the three photos below were taken by my father and myself (last two) respectively.  The first is near Madagascar, the second near Broome (Western Australia) and the third is Jeffrey's Bay (Eastern Cape, South Africa).

The populace is like the sea, motionless in itself, but stirred by every wind, even the lightest breeze.
Book XXVIII, sec. 27 (History of Rome)
 “It would be good to live in a perpetual state of leave-taking, never to go nor to stay, but to remain suspended in that golden emotion of love and longing; to be loved without satiety.” ― John Steinbeck, The Log from the Sea of Cortez
“Let him think that I am more man than I am and I will be so.” ― Ernest Hemingway, The Old Man and the Sea

Nick and Lisa discuss Mendacity Part 1/4

Above: the late great Terry Pratchett was a prodigious author; Pratchett typically churned out two books every year. His Discworld series comprises 40 volumes.

 Via Wikipedia:

Pratchett said that to write, you must read extensively, both inside and outside your chosen genre and to the point of "overflow". He advised that writing is hard work, and that writers must "make grammar, punctuation and spelling a part of your life."However, Pratchett enjoyed writing, regarding its monetary rewards as "an unavoidable consequence", rather than the reason for writing. Come back here next week (29/03) for Part 2.

MENDACITY...the authors wish to thank...



 

Acknowledgements

When the Jodi Arias trial began in 2013, I never imagined the two year trip we were about to embark upon.   A roller coaster ride through dark, twisting tunnels; nauseating and uncomfortable with no end in sight.  Yet there’s something that keeps us here like moths to a flame.  An unquenchable desire to see it through to the end.

MENDACITY, the second book in a series of three, not only interrogates Jodi Arias and the people central to her case, it interrogates us and our darkest inner corners.  It picks unapologetically at our failures and insecurities.   And within this narrative, as within all our books, Nick and I share personal stories and our own revelations.  We do this to illustrate our interconnectedness with the world as crimes don’t just happen to one person or a family, they affect all of us and we affect them.
We also draw inspiration from the movie The Matrix.  A story that leaves you questioning - what is reality? Are we living to our potential or are we mired in half-truths? Or perhaps even worse, are we content to deceive?



This expedition to undercover Jodi would not have been possible without the contributions of many others.  First, we thank Jen Wood, from Thetrialdiares.com, as well as Jarrett Seltzer, her producer on Trial Talk Live!  Jen’s insights from being front and center at the trial for the past two years have been truly fascinating, and we appreciate her generosity in sharing them with us.  I also had the pleasure of speaking with Beth Karas while in Phoenix.  Her website Karasoncrime.com has been an invaluable resource.  Cathy from Courthcatter.com has also been a friend in justice.  We thank Troy Hayden for his tireless and objective reporting on this case.  And some others we have quoted from, and whose work we admire:  the Gold Patrol’s Jeff Gold and Jennifer McKelvey, Monica Lindstrom and the 13th Juror, Paul Sanders. 

I also want to express a huge thank you to my family and friends for being the best cheerleaders any girl could ask for.  Your encouragement and love have been a source of strength during many sleepless nights over the course of the past year.  Finally, I want to thank my co-author, Nick, one of the most authentic people I’ve ever met.  Thanks for pushing me and encouraging me to be my best.  And thanks for all the WTFs from you the reader (and those on social media) that have kept me laughing along the way.  Without your interest and loyal support, it wouldn’t be nearly as much fun or as interesting.  We also want to thank you for your views and reviews – all of them, as these keep us humble and on track. 

This journey of writing, research and discovery has been a blast, John, and I can’t imagine sharing it with anybody else.   

Author’s Note: the other author would also like to acknowledge the tireless work of Paul, his counterpart in California and partner in crime. We make a great team, thank you for your consistency and humility.  Let’s Rock On!
