For that Perfect Moment

All our lives we wait patiently to experience a perfect moment, a beautiful moment with unexpected turns and beautiful consequences. And when that moment arrives, the desire is to capture it…some of us try to hold this feeling within our hearts. Others want to capture this in albums to revisit fond memories. The waiting and […]

On the Path of Life

Do you know what Lauren Bacall said about life? “Standing still is the fastest way of moving backwards in a rapidly changing world.” And there are two mistakes one can make along the road to life…not going all the way, and not starting. You see the road is not always going to be easy. The […]

Lost in Translation

Do we always live a useful life? Some of our lives are lost in culture, in the growing needs of our relations, in our own dreams. We become lost in our own lives. The voices we hear dissolve and vanish amongst a crowd. It seems we hear everything whilst looking at each other in awareness, […]

Pleasure In The Pathless Woods

By the deep sea, and music in its roar; I love not man the less, but Nature more… (Lord Byron). When we look around us, the nature, the sea, the sky high above, and the stars far beyond our galaxy, whichever name we give to the place where live in, is it not within the […]

Into a Magical Land of Myths

If you travel through Rajasthan, the land of Indian Kings, you feel lost…rainbows filling the sky descend to touch the earth’s surface.

In the Arms of Your Loved Ones

The child on the boy’s back is his sister. He is taking her home out of harm’s way from the fires the local ploughmen set to weeds on their cultivated lands…notice the look in the child’s face. Is it one of fear and tremor…is her brother her savior? Does this bring back forgotten memories from […]

If I Could Live That Life Again

I was looking at this photograph and the memories came flooding back. For quite some time, I was lost in time. Time…if only someone could hold it for me; not only time, but my times, my friends. Memories and places, those kids I grew up with, if only I could live that life again, with […]

Are You a Coffee Addict?

You know the saying…you need all your senses to really appreciate the taste of food. You need to relish food with at least three of your senses together to really experience the taste of food. Tongue, nose, and eyes play a special part in exploring the fragrance and taste of food…but what if the object […]

Solitude

“What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset.” Are people uncomfortable with solitude because they so rarely experience it, or do they so rarely […]
