December Journal: On Discernment, Seasons & the Quiet Knowing We’ve Forgotten
Lately, I’ve been reflecting on discernment — a word that used to sound heavier than it actually is. We use it as if it belongs only to ancient sages or scholars, but really, discernment is simply the ability to see clearly in a noisy world.
When Compassion Calls Quietly
There are moments in life that arrive without announcement. Small, quiet openings where someone else’s world brushes against yours, and for a second, everything slows. Today, I found myself standing inside one of those moments — unexpected, tender, and deeply human.

Reconnecting with Nature: The Path to Emotional Balance
From a young age, we are taught to override our bodily cues—eating when we’re not hungry, raising our hands to use the bathroom, and sleeping on a schedule set by others. This disconnection can lead to emotional turmoil and a sense of disorientation that persists into adulthood.
