For Another Day, for Another Life

Am I ridiculous? They call me a madman…I don’t resent that. Once they were all dear to me and I could join in their laughter, not at myself, but through affection for them. Oh, how hard it is to be the only one who knows the truth! But they won’t understand, no, they can’t understand… […]

All Roads Lead to Home

All roads lead home. Even when in the wilderness, we crave our home. Life is a journey. Some roads are rough and rocky, some very narrow to traverse. Sometimes, the path is well worn as many tread before us. Occasionally, we trudge on even though we have no idea where life is taking us. The […]

For a Glimpse of Heaven

When I shut my eyes, I feel the world plunge. Lifting my lids, everything is slowly reborn. Am I imagining this in my head? The sky is waltzing out in blue, red, and white…black smoke gallops in swiftly. Again, I shut my eyes to feel the world, lifeless. I dream I am close to heaven […]

Messenger of Love

Live Amongst Nature

Do you ever think about our past…not your childhood, or experiences you endured, but mankind’s past? Nowadays, we live under a solid roof, walk over concrete slabs, we have the luxury of air conditioning to cool us from the sweltering heat; we’ve become so easily blasé about life. Don’t you feel that we’ve lost our […]

Between Love and Hate

There is a very narrow line between love and hate…scientists have proven the same nervous system of the brain is used for expressing both love and hate; although polar opposites in nature. Don’t you sometimes love to hate someone? And doesn’t it occur to you sometimes, how hateful it is to love someone but you […]

I am looking at you or are you looking at me? Can you see inside me? With all the beauty and all the colors that seem to be on fire, are you looking at my darkest thoughts? Even beauty can’t ignore darkness. Or is this what I think? Even in those firefly colors, I find […]

Living in a Box

Don’t we all live in a box, but try to be like Houdini, the escape king? We try to escape all our life, but there is very little chance of success; we are all restrained in the end. Of course we aspire to be as a free spirited bird at times, but we end up […]
