I stand between the ending and the unknown,
A threshold neither claimed nor owned.
No longer what was, not yet what will be,
Suspended in time, untethered, free.

Here, the past unravels, thread by thread,
While the future whispers but stays unsaid.
Certainty fades, and questions arise,
Yet in this in-between, transformation lies.

It is a space of shedding, of breaking apart,
Of listening closer to the voice in my heart.
Old stories loosen their rigid hold,
Making room for new truths to be told.

The weight o…

When the world tilts and the ground feels unsteady,
When fear surges, and the air grows heavy,
When the storm howls loudly and the night runs deep,
Be the stillness that others seek.

Not by denying the weight of the fight,
Nor pretending that darkness is bathed in light,
But by standing firm, a beacon, a guide,
A steady hand through the shifting tide.

Breathe in the silence between each sound,
Let your heart beat slowly, and your feet touch the ground.
In the eye of the storm, where clarity lives,
Find the…

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…

"We don’t stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing." – George Bernard Shaw

In the hustle for success and productivity, we often leave behind the joy of play, relegating it to childhood memories. But what if play is the missing ingredient in unlocking creativity, fostering innovation, and building stronger, more engaged teams?

Play isn’t just about fun; it’s a powerful state of mind where imagination thrives, boundaries dissolve, and new possibilities emerge. For leader…

"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results." – Albert Einstein

Do you find yourself stuck in the same routine day in and day out? Do you feel like you are living on autopilot, going through the motions without any sense of purpose or fulfillment? If so, you may need a pattern interrupt - a deliberate shift in routine or mindset that disrupts the monotony and opens the door to growth, innovation, and a deeper connection to your higher p…

Words are architects of the unseen,
Weaving meaning where silence has been.
With breath and sound, they rise and take flight,
Turning shadows into stories, day into night.

A whisper can spark, a sentence can heal,
Unravel the chaos and make sense of the real.
They soften the edges, bring solace to pain,
Or summon a storm with the weight of disdain.

Words build bridges where borders divide,
They carry our longing, our truth, and our pride.
They teach us to listen, to seek, and to see,
Unveiling the beauty i…

“Art is the bridge between what we see and what we feel.”

This image evokes a sense of tranquility, reminding us of the beauty in the stillness of nature and the ever-changing sky.

Each brushstroke of color represents an opportunity to reflect and be present. Today, observe the small, often unnoticed, wonders that make life profound.
