Some wounds stop screaming and learn how to sit quietly beside us. This is a reflection on grief, faith, love, and the strange surrender that comes when survival becomes second nature.

The Divine Canvas
Art as Devotion I recently found myself wandering through the quiet corridors of the National Craft Museum, a place that always manages to still the noise in my head. As a painter, it feels less like a museum and more like a prayer space. There’s something sacred about witnessing devotion preserved in thread, cloth, wood,Continue reading “The Divine Canvas”
An Unforgettable Metro Ride
Today, I saw two little girls in the metro with their mother. The girls looked about five and six years old, sitting close together on the corner seat. Both wore matching, slightly dusty sandals and simple clothes. They were carefully holding a small table with a Ludo game printed on it – it looked brandContinue reading “An Unforgettable Metro Ride”
Lost in a World That Feels Unrecognizable
Feeling lost is just the first step to being found. I find myself staring at my phone, unable to put my thoughts into words. There’s a heaviness in my chest, my breaths are short, and it’s as if life is showing me sides I never knew existed. Growing older has brought with it an unsettlingContinue reading “Lost in a World That Feels Unrecognizable”
Finding My Way Back to Writing & Painting
For years, I poured love and nourishment into areas of my life, ignoring the toll they took on me and venting my frustration and anger through writing and painting.

They were my sanctuary, a place where I could pour outContinue reading “Finding My Way Back to Writing & Painting”
People Forget
In letters to your future self, A thought sneaks in, like a helpful elf: No matter if your deeds were grand, People forget, as time’s soft sand. Be it good or bad, big or small, In the end, memories fall. Don’t fret about what others may say, In the end, they’ll drift away. If you’reContinue reading “People Forget”
Unspoken Truths
In the shadows, secrets lay,Words unread, kept far away.A heart exposed, yet never shown,Betrayed and hurt, emotions sown.Through pages veiled, the truth was found,A silent witness, unbound.Their feelings raw, they didn’t know,A heavy burden, kept in tow.Always faithful, standing tall,In loyalty, she gave her all.Yet held within, the unvoiced pain,To shield them guilt, her heartContinue reading “Unspoken Truths”
Love’s True Light
In shadows lost, I once did roam,Bound by ties, I called my own.Love or need, a line unclear,In the mirror’s gaze, truth drew near.Dependency whispered in the dark,Tangled emotions left a mark.Their happiness, they sought in me,Yet never set their own heart free.Embracing self, wounds start to mend,A journey to self-love, I’ll transcend.No longer captiveContinue reading “Love’s True Light”
Last words of a dying man that completely changed my life.
What is your greatest accomplishment? Could you come up with anything? How many of you were able to think of that specific thing right away when the question was raised? Not me, to be honest. We don’t really consider some of the things we’ve done or the changes we’ve made, especially the little ones, toContinue reading “Last words of a dying man that completely changed my life.”
