Glow
Light dances with dark,
patterns shimmering in unison
with trees outside,
swaying in the morning breeze –
a gift to those who foresake
the warmth of their beds
on this lazy Sunday morning. Continue reading
The Quiet Moments
As we approach what promises to be much needed downtime at the end of a long year, let’s remember to feed not only our bodies, but also our souls… Continue reading
Overload
It’s hard to stop. And it’s hard to see this for what it is: an addiction. A craving – a compulsion – that none of us asked for, yet it crept into us as we went along with the modern world’s frantic evolution of communication technology.

It’s not enough that we face general streams of content flooding our senses. We’ve personalised it, too. We receive customised feeds and notifications on our computers (when we’re working), and phones (which are always with us…always on). Continue reading
