Everything begins with longing. Many speak about it. Many write about it. Discourses are held on it. I’ve come to understand it as something far more important than we allow ourselves to believe. It is not something that can be willed or worked toward. This longing doesn’t ask to be […]
There are moments when a single unexpected word catches me off guard and lands with more force than I know how to hold. I felt it before I understood it — a tightening, a quiet sting, a tremor I didn’t expect. I believed I had grown past anger and hurt, […]
Guru Nanak Sahib walked quietly, yet the earth remembers every step.The rivers pause to listen; the winds soften in reverence.In that presence, even silence finds its voice.
