End of the Tunnel
I am the light at the end of the tunnel. I am my own savior. My spirit ran ahead to beam the light of hope as my weary body and mind struggled to catch up. It was this light that kept me alive as the piercing darkness around me spilled into my soul. The tunnel … Continue reading End of the Tunnel
My Big Secret – Part 1
This is big! Most of my feelings, thoughts and life experiences end up in my blog. However, this big secret I have kept from you for over a year now. It all started quite innocuously while I was still in Washington. I had landed this long-term subbing position at an elementary school while we were … Continue reading My Big Secret – Part 1
Not Poetry, Not Prose…
It's not about black lives, It's not about white lives, It's about justice and fairness. It's not about men, It's not about women, It's about equality for everyone under the sun. It's not about Islam, It's not about Christianity, It's about oneness and tolerance. I don't care if you are gay, transgender, … Continue reading Not Poetry, Not Prose…
Walking into the Unknown
It's a scary place to be. The vast openness in front of you. Myriad intertwining paths stretching across the horizon as far as the eye can see. Fear immobilizes you. One wrong step and you think all will be lost. How sad it is sweet child that you have forgotten where you have come from. … Continue reading Walking into the Unknown

I remember spending some … Continue reading Oh Orlando!

It was 8 in the morning and I was still in bed contemplating another miserable day spent languishing on the … Continue reading Along Came Lucky
What Do I Want?
Today I find myself at the park again but this time I brought a pen and some paper so I don't need to struggle with the tiny keyboard on my phone. So many emotions. So many thoughts. So many things that I want to put down on paper. They keep swimming around in my consciousness … Continue reading What Do I Want?
Not Depressed…Just Melancholic
That much celebrated emotion of bygone poets, bards and writers. That very same state of mind that evokes the deepest of sentiments that spill over and create art that transcends time, culture, and every other tangible wall. I fancy melancholic. It is definitely more palatable than depressed, don't you think? Like a fancy mental state … Continue reading Not Depressed…Just Melancholic
The Rise of the Sensitives
I have known that I'm different for a long time. When the whole world is going east I would be looking west. I gave up meat when I was in 12th grade and also became a Reiki Level II practitioner. I dabbled in yoga and spent Saturday mornings at a home for the mentally challenged. … Continue reading The Rise of the Sensitives
