At night.

At night, the mind goes wandering. At night, then all goes quiet. At night, darkness covers the plains and textures. At night, all untouched and ignored sneaks up to surface. At night, consolation is the silence, the lullaby for sleep. At night, silence and darkness sweeps into the depth of the soul twisting each branch,…

Once a year, go someplace you’ve never been before

Such wise words imparted by the honorable Dalai Lama, alongside the opportunity to travel to a place not yet frequented, had guided and blessed my 2022 already so far. There’s much that we learn from travels, about ourselves, about our abilities, our limits, our characters, our degree of independence and our fears, when removed from…

SEASONS OF LOVE – 525,600 Minutes

A year in life. A year I spent defoliating – after being buried under a mountain of leaves covering my top to toe, i was removing leaf after leaf until I finally feel the rays of the sunlight touching my face again. Until I finally feel like breathing clean air again. Oh, you can barely…

I Love You.

I love you with no excuse, unfailingly and I do it with my whole heart. I don’t regret doing so and I am proud about the good I see in you. I believe in you as I always have. You mean the world because you are special. I see your kind and golden heart that…

Thank You!

I would like to thank everyone who reached out to me within the last days. It has been very helpful to know that I am not out alone, that I am being comforted at a time where I am not being at my highest and that so many understand this downhill trail / lower moment-of-life…

Pressure on a Diamond makes it shine (Notes on my own journey)

Shiny Diamonds don’t fall from the sky. Once you found one rough, it takes a lot of work to make it shine. You’ll use a lot of methods, a lot of tools to bring it to perfection. If you can endure the process to polish the diamond into shape and shine, you will have yourself…

No force. Just flow.

2021. And i arrive at the believe that things will come your way when it is the right time. Could this be part of the aftermath of the year 2020 that was pretty much a year of reduced activity, or inactivity, or just rather a result of introspection? Just these last days, .. well actually…

On Finding Home: a phenomenological perspective

Prelude What do you do when you are on your own? You start contemplating. You start to think about the most random things, but also the most philosophical things in life. I always wondered what actually gets me writing. And I feel like partly is when I found a moment of solitude again that urges…

Lovelife: Debunked

Are you expecting that you’re gonna see juicy heartbreak details slammed with names in this post? Ey, how low do you rate me heeree, come onn… 😅 I might have something to say, but I won’t compete to ‘To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before’. For my part, I pretty much make sure all get…

Why I don’t throw the towel.

A colleague of mine at work had generously described me once to be calm and collected when others would throw the towel already. I encounter those situations often. I principally would not throw the towel so fast. And that basically is the truth in all areas of life. Why throw the towel? Why give up?…
