For thirteen days, I was away. And for thirteen days, I have not written anything new until now. It is the longest I have been away from my digital oasis, this little nook of mine filled with descriptive words and images of many colours. Coincidentally, this has also been the longest hiatus I’ve had thisContinue reading “13 Days”

Early Night
Tonight, I have chosen to retire rather early. I now sit in my little box—this hole-in-the-wall I shall call my home for two nights—and reflect on this long day. A long journey of much waiting, but also of many gifts and unplanned stops. I didn’t realise the bus would make stops along the way forContinue reading “Early Night”

I found myselfContinue reading “Today I sat on the couch”
