Noticed a big smile as I walk along the train platform. It is sparked by the fact that I have a hairbrush still rolled up in my hair, a highly unusual view amidst the impeccably dressed business people on this Monday morning. “Monday Morning”, I hear my thoughts chatter, “who smiles on a Monday morning …

Moments
There are millions of moments in life Most of them pass us by unnoticed Many of them we squander As we desperately cling to the few moments That make us feel alive. Birds fly by my window, Each wing flap a moment. Raindrops fall from the sky, Each landing a moment. My eyes roam the …
Thank You
I have been struggling with confidence issues over the last little while, being unemployed, trying to work towards living my dreams while looking for a job to pay the bills in the meantime. Being alone all day has created negative loop conversations in my head which are taking some energy getting out of. Today I …

Woke up this morning, somewhere in between excitement and anxiety. It is Monday and with that a new week of opportunities, a new risk of failing.

Excel Art
I was just about done updating a spreadsheet when I SAW it. I have been looking at Excel sheets for years, but it never occurred to me that I had the perfect mosaic program in front of me. Instead of number values, I can enter colours. A simple yet highly entertaining and relaxing first attempt …
Nature’s Real Estate
We’ve reduced trees to accessorizing our streets, Where once open fields grew our daily bread Concrete littered with metal on wheels has taken over, And nobody seems to mind. Just a week has passed since my last ride on this train, Enough time to rip up three football fields of green Leaving behind a gaping …
Dance of Words
How often Have you seduced me With your gentle flow Of possibilities. How often Have I stumbled Over insecurities Of not doing you justice? But like any Everlasting love affair We are forever And will forever be A dance of words that paint my heart.
