beauty-workplace

"Beauty is one of the most important emotions in life; beauty can save the world, one person at a time." – Renzo Piano

When we think of beauty, our minds most likely wander to art, architecture, or nature. But beauty isn’t confined to galleries or landscapes. It’s in the experiences we create, the spaces we inhabit, and the connections we foster. Can a business be beautiful? And should it?

The answer is a resounding yes. True beauty isn't about superficial aesthetics; it's about creating emotional…

An Inspired Poem: A Miracle in Motion

Miracle

Billions of cells, each with a task,
Weaving a symphony too vast to grasp.
A universe within, pulsing with light,
Carrying secrets both day and night.

Atoms once scattered through infinite space,
Now form the lines of your living embrace.
Heartbeats sync in perfect time,
A silent rhythm, a sacred rhyme.

Your lungs - oceans that rise and fall,
Breathing in whispers of something vast, enthralled.
Nerves like rivers, quick and bright,
Translating touch, emotion, and sight.

And yet, we rush, we ache, we strive,…

Cave3

"The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek." – Joseph Campbell

An Inspired Poem: Postponing Joy

Postponing-Joy

I have been called impatient,
always reaching, always moving
a restless pulse against the silence,
always reaching for more.

But what for?

I’ve let joy sit on the shelf,
saving it for later,
as if it were a fine wine
needing time to be worthy.

I have mistaken desire for indulgence,
seen longing as something to be tamed,
told myself the struggle was noble,
that ease was something I had to earn.

But joy is not a prize at the end of effort,
It’s not a luxury for another season.
It is here, in the quiet moment,
in …

An Inspired Poem: Breakthrough

Fireflies

I chased fireflies in the dusk of doubt,
Tiny sparks against a world worn out.
Each flicker danced, a fleeting guide,
A whisper of wonder I couldn’t deny.

The road ahead was tangled, unclear,
Echoes of certainty drowned by fear.
But curiosity hummed, soft and low,
“Follow the glow - see where it’ll go.”

The light wasn’t steady, nor was my stride,
Yet I moved forward, pulled by the tide.
Each step I stumbled, each twist I turned,
Revealed a truth I’d yet to learn.

Certainty crumbled like sand in my hand,
Repl…

"Nothing in life is more exciting and rewarding than the sudden flash of insight that leaves you a changed person." – Arthur Gordon Webster

Have you ever noticed how one thing - a single idea, choice, or breakthrough - can change everything?

Four thousand years ago, in ancient Mesopotamia, a group of people experimented by adding heat to sand, soda, and lime, creating glass for the first time. What began as a simple material would transform the course of human history. Today, glass is the foundati…
