I want to begin this writing with a quote that my father shared with me in a discussion I recently had with him that goes as follows: "The difference between medicine and poison is the dose." This quote is well known and yet it is one that fascinates me tremendously because of its simplicity and …
Sitting in the lap of creation
Without air, our lungs could never breathe. Without skin, the warmth of the sun goes unfelt. Without a tongue, the freshness of water will be unknown. Without ears, the song of the birds will go unheard. Without feat, no soil can be felt underneath you. We are the earth, the earth is us. What we …
Life – a beautiful organized chaos
It's true. No one really knows what's going on. No scientist, no religious priest, no philosopher, no lunatic really no one actually has ultimate answers. We are born into a mystery, truly. What does it take each one of us to admit, that we are all just trying to make sense of things? Life is …
The two cups
Each day we wake, there are two cups in front of us. One is that of truth and life and the other is that of selfishness. Now within each day, you fill those cups. One more than the other one. The words you speak, the deeds you do, the thoughts in your mind, they fill …
This world we carry on our shoulders
We see it everywhere. We see it when we watch T.V, we see it when we check social media, we see it in newspapers ( at least some of them ). Fear, hatred, violence, lies, corruption, and destruction. It seems as if our world is falling apart, as if it can't be held together anymore …
Walking through the concrete graveyard
Walking through the streets I see people with rigid faces and stale eyes, life has been sucked out of them it seems, perished, blown out like the candles light and only the fleeting smoke is left. Me? I'm just wondering, trying to make sense of it all, Life a mystery - not to be understood …
this simple life
Suns shine, Stars do as well, Plants grow, Lungs breathe, Hearts beat, Eyes see and Ears hear, Take a seat, Breathe in deeply, No one is in control, Nobody needs to be in control.
Burning Garden of Eden
I silently weep as I see you burn, boots trampling on the ground beating down our fellow brothers and sisters in the name of security and safety. What security I ask, what safety do they seek for your radiant beauty Oh Great Mother is being guarded by the fire of the Sun and someday your …
Drowning in words
Words are but empty and yet they carry life within them, like pills that encapsulate the life-saving substance in their cold dead plastic skin. Words, language... in my opinion one of the most impressive inventions of mankind, the one that fascinates me tremendously. Words are in themselves only meaningful in the context of meaning we …
We belong here
I know it is hard to believe nowadays, but we belong here. You, I, everyone belongs here. We made this planet that is home our enemy because we made ourselves into an enemy, but we human beings belong here. We belong here, like the bird's wings cutting through the sky, We belong here, like the …
