On Acceptance ~ A youngling

written on January 8, 2019 Artist: James Christopher It was kind of sickening. The kind of person social media and fleeting perceptions shrunk me to, while so much was concocting in my version of the cosmos. There was… a lot. So much that I had to disappear from certain planes of existence in order to...

We will never have seen it all

written on October 16, 2018 Very few times, even the whole world and all it depicts feels like a cage. When you feel like rolling your eyes at every element that has been discussed under the skies and over cups of either coffee or tea. You feel like rolling your eyes at science and quantum...

Dear ages ago, it’s me…

Dear ages ago, it's me. I have an update from the not too far away future. Love has healed my mind, love has healed my body. My blood reports reflect an internal revolution. My days are filled with duties and deadlines, my breaks are filled with him. My career is the trickle of ice water...

Perceptions: Deva, Manushya & Rakshasa gana nakshatras

This world is made of intricate dualities and would be incomplete without contrasting, staunchly opposite energies that are in fact complementary; contributing to the completion of creation.

Replenishing

Artist - Kristel Bechara My salty lashes flutter in my sleep as raindrops chatter.  There is silence whirring in places my bones used to ache.  Distant echoes in my mind in the place of present voices.  My aches now have no name, no cause, not much to say.  My skin is unrecognisably familiar, my woman-hood...
