As the clouds gather and the temperature changes, the field anticipates the rain. The thunder grows, the sky changes colour, and the farmer's relief at the prospect of rain is suddenly overwhelmed by the fear of floods. The weather grows turbulent. The rain starts falling and his humble prayer remains the same. “Please, just enough.” Part 1/1

He can't help admiring the forced labour of his calloused hands that erected this monstrosity. Then a feeling of great disparity comes over him...

The coffee was placed on the table. Hot, with steam escaping from the cup. Winter weather chilled the room which made the coffee inviting, just like the banter. Hours passed quickly...

...the itchy ropes tied to my hands and feet as I struggle to keep balance on the plank...

As thousands have gathered, the crowd moves like the waves of the ocean. A little girl in the depths of the current turns to her dad and asks...

“Where to?” the man at the counter asks. A haunting question.

I watch as the bright blue sky turns darker. I anticipate the weight of crashing arrows as I hide behind a tree.

A bright, warm light awakes Ms Lewis. A modest, beautiful fairy appears. “Miss, are you ready for an adventure?”

All the bending roads we travelled lead us to a bridge. This bridge is grown, not built.

A late night, a weary traveller, and a mystery...

Katabasis is a word that’s been echoing in my mind. My lips look for any excuse to slip it into conversation. Katabasis is the Greek word for ‘going down’ or ‘descent’. In mythology and literature, it is often descriptive of a journey into the underworld, a descent into darkness where a person is confronted with hell.

A party somewhere between a high school gathering, where everyone gets drunk and talks about life they have no experience in, and an adult party, where everyone gets drunk and talks about life they have no experience in, but with snacks.

I think this is something missing in today’s life. The adventure of it alone, then inviting someone to go on it with you as you observe the person’s reaction to things you experienced before them. I imagine having kids is like introducing someone to a CD you like, then watching them enjoy everything you experienced and hoping their reaction is like yours…

It feels like the only thing that has stood the test of time is professional sports. I can’t see AI replacing Eben Etzebeth. Just saying. The outcome in sport is unpredictable. Just like in life.There is always a way for the underdog to win.

Just think about it through the eyes of a romantic storyteller: God, all-powerful, is fighting not to prove His strength, but to restrain it so that you have the free will to love Him or not...

We spend days just wishing our lives away. I don't want that anymore. Do you? The big question is: how do we change that? We can’t quit our jobs, because we don’t have another way of earning an income. Most people don't have savings to fall back on. So, how do we wake up in the morning and not wish the day away?

The day we stopped passing notes in class was the day communication died, and trust in our fellow citizens got questioned; accountability became the stuff of legends. One of the core things we needed to learn was how to speak. The reason was so that we could communicate our needs and desires. Fast forward a couple of years and we learn to read and write. The reason was so that we could communicate without sound and to leave behind information for the next generation. But for

It felt like I was a dog chasing its own tail. It looks fun. Even promising. But we’ll only find out when I bite it! We all know how that turns out. The strange thing is, during the chase, we can’t see the difficulty we’ll put ourselves through.

There is no bigger heartbreak than a seven-year-old boy finding out his thirteen-year-old crush has a boyfriend. It is the first step in learning that the only thing that can change the outcome of the situation is if you were born earlier. No biggie...

When you put any group of people who don’t speak the same language together in a room, you won’t be able to avoid irritation, frustration, and especially miscommunication. With all languages, things may get lost in translation. Therefore, we need to learn how to interpret properly.
