It is a good day. Most would agree that real beauty is in the soul, in the natural world, and to try and find this in film can be a very spiritual process. Media has been my outlet for artistic expression. I was never really good with my hands because I couldn't sit still. A mind that is racing, wanting to climb the highest peak, and a mind that is always editing all it sees. To discover the hidden things was my first aim. To see where the Light touches, where it goes and why is it here.
My feeling is that we are growing and training our self to see what others forget to notice. Awareness of our surroundings in the deepest ways. (knowledge of self)
Real art, in words, in music, whether paint or video/photography is really showing the layers of who we are. We are showing the many layers of our past and who we are today. Layers of our soul ~ life in the smallest of things, life bursting out of all things. I call this work 'Ornament Pictures' A majority of short films can be found at youtube.com/ornamentproductions

I studied digital media and broadcast production. When I finished school I then did my year of service at Louhellen Baha'i School and six months at WLGI FM at the Louis Gregory Institute. Before that I worked at a grocery store for four years and before that I was delivering newspapers to your front door.
My name is Arabic meaning ornament (Taraz) of God. (ullah) It is my birth name. I sometimes go by Tarázát though. I am a natural red head but I lighten my hair because it makes it thinner and easier to manage. I am a mixture of many different nationalities dating back to the beginning of man but I mainly originated from AFRICA!
Yes my hair is naturally curly. No I don't do anything to get each curl separated. No I don't put stuff in my hair to get it to do what it does. And no I was not on American Idol!
Being a non-conformist and being different is the beauty of being human! I love to encourage people and help people understand who they are and above all, believing in who we are.
Before sending me a friend request first subscribe to my blog "Tablets of Tarazat." Otherwise we can not really be connected. For the blog is why I am here. If I don't know you, send me a message. Tell me why you are interested or how you found me.
I believe that people should laugh up to five hours a day. I try to use myself as a tool for humor to help others get at least an hour or two in there. I like people that are totally opposite of me. This gives me many things to learn about myself which has been my full time job in the last few years. I spent most of my childhoodwatching people and being the class clown.
I am also passionate about the oneness of humanity, world peace being not only possible but inevitable, the equality of women and men, personal investigation of the truth, and that there is one race - the human race.

Baha'i's believe in the one and only God and that Baha'u'llah is the Messenger of God for this day. Baha'u'llah (1817-1892) proclaimed that our purpose is "to obliterate differences, and quench the flame of hatred and enmity, so that the whole earth may come to be viewed as one country." You can download a -must have- search program called "Ocean " to type in any word or phrase and it searches all the writings from any selected religion.
Baha'is say a prayer every day called an Obligatory prayer. There is a lengthy explanation here .
There are also other prayers in prayer books at Baha'i book store.

Hey friends,
To better get to know you I have two questions that I am always asking.. You can add your answers to this blog

1. What are your current religious beliefs? If you are Baha'i, Muslim or Christian then what makes your faith in your religion so strong? I'm more curious of those that don't have any religious preference. Tell me what it is that makes life meaningful to you.
Now for a simple question..
