Imagine the Desert
The desert is endless before your eyes. The dunes rise and fall and snake their way to the hazy horizon. The sun blasts rays of cool sunshine. When you close your eyes it’s not black you see, but a glowing red, and you can feel particles of light impacting your eyelids.You take a step. Then [...]

The Stars
You’re lying on your back. A soft breeze ruffles the trees surrounding the small clearing, and swirls earthy and minty fragrances in your face. You inhale, close your eyes, and smile. You open your eyes and the few scattered clouds dissolve out of the sky. It’s black and infinite and you feel small, humbled by [...]

On new year’s resolutions
So, ten days into the new year and I couldn’t resist a blog post about resolutions. You know those things we never miss to swear we’ll accomplish by the new year’s end and that most of the time we never get the time to do? I think I’m against those. In my very humble opinion, [...]
