“Know thyself” – Socrates I believe that spirituality should be counted as a virtue of the highest order, a beautiful cacophony experienced only by the fortunate few; a melodious sound of madness that can only be reached by those who truly listen to and become one with their soul. After all, isn’t that what life …

Emotional ‘unboxing’
Photo by Ryanniel Masucol on Pexels.com I have been feeling a lot of things lately. Some would call it “emotions” while others prefer to term it as “lockdown blues”, but never mind let’s just do it the old way. It almost feels like people try to put you in a box when you reach a …
Until the next stop
“Does the person create the journey or does the journey create the person?” – Louis Vitton // Punishing times like these call upon our reflection of the past. It urges us to think whether our calling in life has been met, or rather, what is our calling? // At the risk of sounding too ethereal, …
Utopia much?
Sometimes, just sometimes, it feels like everything is part of this big holistic dream, a dream that seems to be going on and on, consuming with it every minute, every second of our fleeting lives. This chain of ephemeral moments provides a vision of the so-called “ideal life”, but also at the same time shows …
It’s my world!
I want a black moon that serenades my sky Melting into the Sun as dawn approaches Coloring the fields in hues of blue and yellow Each day brighter than the last, never losing its focus. // I want to see colorful birds swim And men in black suits fly The streets to be crowded with …

A reverberation of the past
Help me! she says as she trips back into the hole, Sin, not gravity, pulling her back to her roots, “I sensed you were near, dear” reverberates the familiar voice, “Nothing much has changed here since, just follow the rules.” // She is addicted to all the bad things they warned you about, Misogynists, liars, …
The irreplaceable you
Existence is not accidental. The universe works in a certain way for a reason, be it good, bad or horrifying. Humans are born, birds lay eggs, plants reproduce; even the dispersal of the smallest seed into the ground is consequential. Nothing would be the same, if even one minuscule thing that exists on this planet …
