    Will She Let Us Decide What She Does With Her Body?

    Clothing Rules as Boundary Tests in Patriarchal Families “Will she let us decide what she does with her body?” Many clothing rules imposed upon women who marry into patriarchal families. This is rarely spoken out aloud, and the argument is often framed as modesty, respect, safety or family values. The…

    The Lasting Impact of Childhood Judgments

    Some incidents become unforgettable, not because they are extraordinary, but because they strike us at a vulnerable age. They take root in our minds, shaping our thoughts, our choices, and sometimes the course of our entire destiny. I have carried this memory for half a century, replaying it countless times.…

    When Home Becomes A Journey: Living With Dementia

    For the past nine years, my mother-in-law has been living with dementia. It started as forgetfulness. Now, it has advanced to a stage where she no longer recognizes space, time, or relationships most of the time. We have always lived together since I got married. Today, she lives with us…

  • The Yo-Yo Mind: Finding Balance in a World of Comparison

    The Yo-Yo Mind: Finding Balance in a World of Comparison

    The mind swings like a yo-yo—restless, reactive, always reaching. One moment you’re enough, the next you’re behind. But comparison is a trickster, not a truth-teller. What feels ordinary to you might be someone else’s dream. So pause. Breathe. Name what’s real.

  • A Forbidden Red Door

    A Forbidden Red Door

    The forbidden red door, opposite her house, always intrigued her. It appeared illuminated some nights, while mostly it stood dark. Who might be there, she’d wonder but wasn’t allowed anywhere nearby, so she’d drift off to sleep. She grew up watching it, until one day, at 16, curiosity getting ahead…

  • Got Me?

    Got Me?

    I float like the deep, purple hyacinths, In serene complacence, by the stream, Drenched, ducking, bobbing through torrents, Never plummeting to the floor beneath Seeking raptures in a pint-sized life, And endless euphoria in growing against force, My joie de vivre is to watch out for, Only a few discern…

  • LOVE

    LOVE

    In rosy hues, was their pink love flushed, Hearts brimmed with praise, as feelings rushed, Hands held tight, supposedly a wild blue yonder, A dazzling love, so eyeful, seemingly an unparalleled wonder All until, a loud catastrophe broke, Mistrust crawled in and undid the yoke, Today they live, another love…

  • Endless Journeys…

    Endless Journeys…

    A road I chose, led me onto a tightrope, Miles whereon, did I travel, with certain hopes, Knotty it was, at several points, Threatening to break, at enfeebled joints . Aye, lauding myself, for my nonchalant spunk, I kept persevering, revelling in blind triumphs, My sprit indomitable, my legs unstopping,…
