Relish the Moments of Nature

Do you know what drives me crazy, what amazes me the most? People constantly talk about all the wonders in life. An iPads’ usefulness…features of a new game, or new emerging technologies, and how much easier life has become, especially, with all this materialistic stuff we collect, that’s supposed to save time. But what good […]

In the Midst of Multiple Worlds

Have you ever felt there is a certain reality outside everyone? For me, I feel like a solid mass occupying a certain volume; affected by heat and cold, wind and waves, and much more. I sense a certain reality around me, albeit, if only when its effects are on my body. The source itself is […]

Living on Light

Have you heard the saying, it is not light we need, but fire; it is not the gentle shower, but thunder? We need the storm, whirlwind, and earthquake, chaos. We can’t live in the glow all the time, effortless. You have to take whatever light you can hold into the dark with you. At times, […]

Where Our Hearts Live…

We all live separate lives, don’t we? We live with our feet planted in one world, in chaos, with people around us dictating what we should do. With everything swirling around us in a mad fury, we live an express life. Then, there is this other life…we live secretly in another world. When we live […]

A Life without Burdens

Do you ever want to disappear? Be removed from your own world? The complex lie you live everyday becomes too much. The burden of hope is a heavy weight on your shoulders.

The Beauty Within Photo of the Day

The Beauty Within

Elisabeth Ross said, “People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.” Although beauty is something that does not linger in one’s face, beauty is a light deep within one’s heart.

Someone Wanted it to Happen …

Everyone believes in something. Everyone has something to say, to himself or to Almighty. One’s inner voice is something that one cannot fathom. At times, our inner feelings push us to do things. For some, the simplest, seemingly most inane or most practical things matter the most. Even a tiny, simple gesture can strengthen our […]

The City I Belong to…

In my city of dreams, I still live in a concrete jungle. In these dreams, I still feel my heart beat for the city where was I born…the city where I live my fullest of dreams. I begin to leave these dreams…my heart feels claustrophobic. I search for my way, a way that lets me […]

A Beautiful Vision of Life

Aimlessly, we roam our dream city in the hope of finding ourselves…we search to find our purpose. We visit the Louvre to discover life but lose ourselves in poetry – literature, surrounded by dusk’s beauty and gorgeous ambience…ideal circumstances to escape. We gain a beautiful vision of life. When we look at this photograph by […]

Loneliness

Just tonight, I realized, how many regrets I have…I am not the honorable, honest, and morally sound person I thought I was. I wonder why I am so scared of the aftermath of my actions. However, upon reflection, I realize I have many, many things that people can use against my character. In the past, […]

It’s a Super Busy Day

I start the day in a panic! I wake with only 50 minutes to reach the office, miles away. I eat breakfast and rush out the door, running towards the bus station. I ignore pleas from a poor old woman in the street, no time to stop, no time to ponder, or to have any […]

Yearning for Childhood

As children, we seldom think of the future, we live in the present, always. A past rarely exists. This innocence leaves us free to enjoy ourselves as only few adults can. The day we fret about the future is the day we leave our childhood behind… Does the photo below remind you of your childhood? […]
