The ocean remembers every footprint it washes away. The shore never truly forgets.

Knowing the shore
Learning to let the writing speak for itself without overexplaining.
This poem is a complete spill as I was throwing away my dried rose arrangement. It became a pure stream of consciousness reflection on how we bloom,wilt, and carry our lives proudly anyway.
Thank you for pausing here.

Why my words fall heavy
Some words arrive before we understand them.
They carry dreams, memories, questions, and a presence we cannot quite give form to. Solace is sometimes found in what we believe, learn, and practise. Reflecting on the evening of Janmashtami, these words are my offering to Krishna, whose flute, presence, and stories continue to find their way into our inner landscape.

Silence of Nature
Reflections on our changing relationship with the natural world, and on the climate stories unfolding around us.
I keep wondering about a question that feels increasingly difficult to ignore: is nature speaking, or is it exhausted from trying to be heard?
Ancient landscapes can seem almost timeless, as though they have the strength to outlast us. Yet even these enduring forms of nature can change, retreat, and transform. And their change affects us too.
Our connection with the natural world may be held in elements that are less visible, yet deeply present. Thich Nhat Hanh’s idea of interbeing reminds us that we do not exist apart from nature; we exist in relationship with it. Robin Wall Kimmerer’s work similarly speaks of kinship and reciprocity between humans and the living world.
As my thoughts move towards our relationship with nature, I pause to consider whether the separation we create between ourselves and the natural world is only something we imagine. We breathe, consume, adapt, and exist within the same living systems that surround us. The depth of this relationship is that what happens in nature inevitably affects us.
Today is all that we have.
The connection may not always be visible. But it matters.
