Here and Now

May we find our paths intertwine again. As the dusk settles into dark ocean plunging the world into the unknown each of us can only brace ourselves as we tread into the uncharted territory with a hint of a promise of the light signaling the end of the tunnel. Perhaps we should’ve stayed together longer but alas, time does not await for us. May you be safe in heart, mind, and…

On a dry, hot summer day, a meal was shared rekindling memories, celebrating what is present, and imagining a story for the future originating from the lore of the past. Alliances were confirmed, and respects were paid to each one’s past sufferings. Laying down lazily in the chair, we shared what we cared about, all the while knowing the end is just there. Merrily, we said…

Let the wind come. Lift your heart up into the air, leaping into the unknown. Embrace the nature smoothly reaching to maturity while belonging to a community. Remember who you are connected to and the warmth that has been shared. “Be kind to yourself” is what she told you. Hope that stays with you through this rain storm. 6.30.2026

Take the harder route if that’s the right way. Many will resent you you will feel awful but at least you’ll know You chose the right way. What does it worth? Not a safety, gain, or glory but your knowledge of the alignment of your heart. 6.29.2026

In the quiet grass field, a sliver of fluorescent green arched on my knee level. And then another, then another. Everescent, yet so real. They remind me of the light, the warmth, and the faith. 6.27.2026

After the fear, pain, and shame passed by I found myself shivering for warmth. I held on to the words “Expecto patronum” as if clinging on to a life vest in the middle of dark ocean hoping somehow, contrary to all of the evidence presented in my bare memory that I could find a solace in warmth again. As I mumbled yet another “Expecto patronum” I took a step forward. Then another, and kept…

I have taken the leap of faith to the wrong side opposite of where those who have been waiting to catch me into those who had already left me. Not only does it hurt to have my trust betrayed but knowing that I have betrayed the trust of those who believed me has left a piece of burning ice in my soft spot. It hurts. It’s searing. It cut through. Still, Thank you for this valuable…

I learned to wait under the heat Of my own desire fuming with fire Towards what will quench my yearning For an everlasting happily-ever-after. As the heat grew — I remembered the last reward at the end of such wait. And it was worthwhile the suffering, even as if it required the suffering itself To make itself ever more salubrious. So I wait Under the heat. 5.26.2026

A shorting star passed by What a thrill it must be having Running against the air as fast as it can It is literally burning brightly As it sprints towards its course. And what a spectacular firework it would have been Had those two shooting stars collided Against the odds, in spite of their speed, A fiery show would have blossomed In the dark background Of abysmal vacuum of the…

I wanted to ask you What you would do if you knew Your life will end one day. There’s no more “need” or “should” There just is. I want to meet and dance with someone Who is has a passionate heart, A daring soul, a partner-in-crime. If I could dance this life with her, I’d be content. I want to stand on my two feet And know I have done what is right. I want to pay attention to the…

I am running as fast as I can At certain point I have become free from my body — My mind is leaping beyond what I knew possible And rushing for more, faster, and deeper. Maybe the original sense of time was false — Maybe this is the speed everything is. So we keep on going Marching forward. 5.19.2026

I just bursted out loud laughing in the gym. Maybe it’s because my grip just slippedtrying a heavier weight on lat pull downon my last set of twelve reps,maybe it’s because I just surviveda set of barbell squat with all my mighton a weight less than half of that in my peak time. or maybe it’s the voice of Beyoncé ringing like the crystal halo in my AirPods. Whatever it is, all at once, it all…

May each of my awaking momentAlign with what truly matters. Upon the dark sky,may the virtues I strive for glow ever brightly. May the love fill the heart rather than fear. May I commit to each fleeting second. May I face what must be done. 5.6.2026
