In silence

Do you remember the line from the movie the notebook? “We sit silently and watch the world around us. This has taken a lifetime to learn. It seems only the old are able to sit next to one another and not say anything and still feel content. The young, brash and impatient, must always break […]

Life at intersection

Do you know what’s the main dilemma of life? It is to choose the right path, because life always provides us with too many options. And sometimes, too many choices make us unhappy and anxious. As much as we might think the opposite, we’re actually happier with fewer options. The paradox of life is what […]

A Glimpse of Another World

We never want to believe that there is a magical reality. We choose to ignore the half-open door leading elsewhere or a cold passage of a strange house, perhaps on the outskirts of town; and don’t want to be a part of any fantasy. Instead, we want to live uncomplicated and simple lives. We want […]

A Second for a Second Thought

Sometimes we feel like we don’t know what we want, with our life, the time we spend, the people we be with, our relationships. Sometimes it all seems so confusing, like we just lost our focus, feels like life takes a backseat from our mind, blurred in the background. We become paranoid, our thoughts become […]

It’s about Food and Lyrics

There always something lyrical about a nicely cooked dish. A great dish arouses so many emotions in us that you can actually write a poem or literary note about that.

The End of Eternal Wait

Do you know what a door stands for? Does it symbolize the end of an eternal wait? Is door a transition point which signifies our transformation from one point to another?

Mighty and the Majestic

There are very few lucky ones who can actually stand in front of a mountain and can feel its majestic spirit. Have you ever visualized the spectacular view from the mountains?

Chasing Our Own Shadows

On our walk through life, we chase our own shadows – of who we are, or once were. We always want to keep rising up and above our shadows. We try to reach the unreachable, think the unthinkable and in the long run we end up being distant from our true selves. Don’t you think […]

Our Hearts Strive

Did you know that a smile is probably one of the most infectious things in Planet Earth? We can’t resist an honest smiley face. Our hearts strive for it. A glance at a smiling face can lift our moments, in this otherwise busy and hateful world, to an all new height, even if it is […]
