Loss for Words

Writing to me is my therapy. This is where I get to released my feelings and emotions; a way for me to express my thoughts. “I don’t care if you don’t want to tell me things. But I do care that what we do tell each other is the truth.” Stephanie Butland Many times, these…

One Time, One Meeting

Ichi-go Ichi-e I have a very strong fascination with Japanese phrases with deeper meaning. Somehow they have a word or a phrase for everything and I love it. In this age and time, it seems to get harder and harder to be in the present, in the now. There is always something else that we…
