Can you believe it’s the end of the year?

Well, whether you believe it is or not doesn’t matter, cause it is 😀

Here we are, tail end of 2025 and leading into the new horizon that is 2026.

Did you have a fun time?

I did. 🙂

I don’t think a single photo album will capture the totality of everything that took place, but here’s a small sample of them.

In these pictures, a few themes emerge – new experiences, daring, travels, friends from near and far, and friendships from long ago revisited, reconciliation, hope, and a new attitude towards people, life, and those who surround me; there are so many more things that came along the way that haven’t found expression in the pictures and so many other fond memories that I could yap the content of a full book, which incidentally I actually wrote, in bringing out this overflowing chalice of memories.

2025, you were good to me in many unexpected ways; they weren’t always ways that I had expected you to be good; you were a year of striving, challenge, tribulation, but also growth as a human being.

I came into you as a fool, and in a way, I leave a fool as well with slightly more experience of the world, and hopefully just a little bit wiser.

What will 2026 bring? Well, maybe that’s just for later.

Thank you for the memories, and for the greater things to come. 😀

Life’s Fleeting Nature

In this life I’ve spent on earth, it’s begun to occur to me that nature’s love language may be irony. Were it not so, it would seem strange that I should have written about life just the other day… Only to have it very nearly taken away from me. I […]

How Will You Feel About Life?

When you think of this life from somewhere beyond, in the years that come by, the days you won’t remember, how will you feel about it? Will you remember it all as a distant dream from far away whose images and memories seem foreign to you? A thrashing in the […]

My Meditation

This isn’t a New Year’s resolution post, but it’s a little observation about something that I really want for the year, and that is the ability to think fast and process faster. This is my meditation, differing from any other meditation I’ve seen. I know it seems like a bit […]

What we share and what we don’t.

I’ve been thinking about this for a while, but on the topic of what we choose to share on the internet or in published life, I think that personal standards and egoes are a pretty interesting topic. As it goes, I think if you’re going to type something and spend […]

Time’s Unending Bound

THE SAD THING IS that we are bound by time. Every single one of you – the reader, the writer, the person just casually scrolling by – all of you are bound in this common experience, only to be reminded of it every single time you lock at the clock […]

I Create, Therefore I Am

Once upon a time, Descartes articulated a simple and famous philosophy: I think, therefore I am. His idea was simple: Life is ambiguous, thoughts can be interpreted in wildly different ways; the entirety of the senses can be fooled, turned into illusions, and at the end of the day there […]
