I cannot emphasize …

I cannot emphasize this enough. It’s about being actively and passionately engaged in everything you do. Life is not meant to be a passive spectator sport, but a grand stage where every moment is an opportunity to pour your heart and soul into the unfolding drama. If not passionately and with all that you have to give, why do it at all? Sure, there are moments that may seem mundane, tasks that are less than thrilling, and challenges that test our patience. But even in these moments, there is an opportunity to infuse them with the essence of our being. … Continue reading I cannot emphasize …

May every dawn be a sacred moment, a chance to bow in humble gratitude for the abundance that surrounds me.

I do not know …

I don’t know much about a lot of things. I don’t understand how governments can betray their own people, how innocent children fall victim to the cruel sting of bullets, how the earth trembles beneath the weight of our actions, and yet we refuse to accept responsibility for the damage we have wrought. I don’t know when it became taboo to share our deepest sorrows and questions, to seek solace in our collective vulnerability. I don’t know. But amidst the chaos and despair, I do know that there is a sacred pulse, a divine rhythm that resonates in the heart … Continue reading I do not know …

I will love you …

I will love you until the stars refuse to twinkle, and the moon forgets to rise, until the sun wearies of its endless dance across the sky. I will love you until the very essence of nature rebels against its own design, until the bird spurns its nest, and the worm turns from the apple, until the apple shuns the tree, and the tree forsakes the nest. As time weaves its intricate tapestry, I will love you through the ebb and flow of our days, as we grow older, as we find ourselves drifting apart, and as the world spins … Continue reading I will love you …

Beneath her weathered exterior, beats a heart that refuses to yield to the ceaseless … Continue reading Time, my cordial friend

Imperfect dance of life

In the imperfect dance of life, I have come to realize that perfection is but a distant dream, and that both I and the world are flawed in our own beautiful ways. I have learned that fairytales are but illusions, and that hurt, pain, and disappointment are inevitable companions in this journey called life. As I navigate through the uncertainties of existence, I find myself grappling with the need to temper my expectations, to release the weight of worry that has settled in my mind after enduring life’s relentless blows. It is a natural instinct to shield ourselves from harm, … Continue reading Imperfect dance of life
