The pandemic ravaging humans today is unprecedented in its spread. Almost everyone everywhere has had their life disrupted in some manner. More than half the population is under lockdown – forcibly prevented from leaving our homes for longer periods. Thus incarcerated, we are now wondering what we did to deserve these shackles! Thoughts, Emotions &…

I joined the social network for A Chronic Voice because I needed to find people who understand what life is like with chronic pain. Today I have written a post using the March link-up prompts, to show my experience of living with a chronic pain disorder. Click here to find other blog posts from fellow…

4:40, early morning. I don’t know when it started. From that point on, I had the same dream all through the night, till now. The White House exploded and burned down. All the people who worked there came to work in my living room. There was place for all of them but it was crowded….

I have written more than once in the recent years about my life experiences that are changing me as a woman but recently, thanks to what is happening in my inner world, I have been feeling more stretched than ever. I have been making notes of what I am going through to be able to…

I am sitting in the big guestroom and the wall of the other side of our street looks at me as I look at it. Here: This ‘other side’, as everything else, is created by thoughts, and thoughts are independent entities, capable of self-reflection, which makes it possible for them to rethink who and what…

Life has a real funny way to teach us lessons, they come in the most various and unpredictable ways and most of the time it takes me a while to realise what they are. When I do though, I always feel humbled and stupid for not having recognised them earlier! I always promise to myself…

I have learned so much. I have painted so many paintings and read them. But I’m going to skip all of that and be current. I don’t like going back. The last two paintings are about being fascinated by things that block the mind, the imagination and the openness. I am showing one of them…
