I recently read a wonderful little book – On the Shortness of Life by Seneca.
3/19/21 I recently read a wonderful little book – On the Shortness of Life by Seneca. This is one book that has stayed by my bedside since then. In this, Seneca, the Stoic philosopher and playwright, offers us an urgent reminder on the non-renewability of our most important resource: our time. It is a required […]

Just relax, smile & have a lovely day.
3/14/21 Just relax, smile & have a lovely day. Life really isn’t that serious. We make it hard. The sun rises, the sun sets, the flowers bloom, the wind blows, clouds form, it rains, nature follows it’s course. The world goes on come what may. We just tend to complicate the process, by our thinking, […]

He climbed onto the carton so that he could reach the buttons on the phone and proceeded to punch in seven digits. The store-owner observed and listened to the conversation: Boy: “Lady, Can you […]
Most young tree saplings spend their early decades under the shade of their mother’s canopy.
3/12/21 Most young tree saplings spend their early decades under the shade of their mother’s canopy. Limited sunlight means they grow slowly. Slow growth leads to dense, hard wood. But something interesting happens if you plant a tree in an open field: free from the shade of bigger trees, the sapling gorges on sunlight and […]
