seeing what is silent, hearing what is unseen
Starting over isn’t a sign that something went wrong or that we’ve failed. It’s actually a natural part of how life works—for people, for ideas, and for everything that grows and changes around us. Just like species evolve over time, shedding old traits and adopting new ones to survive and thrive, we do the same…
Read moreI used to think family and friendship were fixed things. That once someone held a place in your life, they’d always be there — steady, certain, unshakable. But I’ve learned that, like rivers, relationships flow. Some deepen. Some dry up. Some change their course entirely. There was a time I held on too tightly —…
Read moreLife isn’t a race, even when it feels like everything around us is moving fast. Nature teaches us something important: nothing worth growing happens overnight. Trees don’t burst into full bloom in a day. Rivers don’t carve valleys in an instant. Instead, everything unfolds slowly, with steady, persistent care. There’s something deeply calming about that….
Read moreThere’s a verse in Matthew 5:45 that says, “He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.” And then I came across this today morning: The rain it raineth on the just,And also on the unjust fella.But chiefly on the just, becauseThe unjust…
Read moreLast year around this time, I was deep in religion — the kind where everything had to be prayed over, explained, or avoided if it didn’t seem “holy enough.” I remember posting Happy Halloween on my WhatsApp story without thinking much about it.

Read moreEvery morning brings a quiet invitation: begin again. Not because you failed yesterday or need to become someone else, but because life itself is always shifting. Seasons change. Tides roll in and out. Trees bloom, shed, rest, and bloom again. Nature doesn’t rush or resist—it moves in rhythm, and so can we. We get caught…
Read moreI’ve come to see Christianity as a kind of mask — or maybe a cloth people wear over their real selves. It’s a covering that gives the illusion of purity and moral certainty. Society has been conditioned to trust it instantly. When someone says, “I’m a Christian,” it’s almost like a magic password — walls…
Read moreI had an interesting conversation recently about sin — that old, heavy word that religion can’t seem to let go of. I asked a simple question: what’s the solution to sin? His answer came quickly: Jesus. “God has provided the way, the truth, and the life through His Son,” he said. I asked him what…
Read moreCareers don’t always follow a straight, planned path—just like rivers don’t flow in perfect lines. Sometimes, the way forward changes because of obstacles, new opportunities, or simply because life shifts around us. And that’s okay. Like a river, I can learn to be flexible and adaptable. If one route gets blocked, I don’t have to…
