Lockdown Notes

At times it feels like I’ve been pushed against a wall.  At times a safe cocoon  Away from it all. Days blend. And a sense of timelessness sets in. Busy times cohabit with empty moments.  Nothing to do and nowhere to go. Just being and resting within. But my mind, it conjures   Read More...

Gasping for breath, I quickened my pace. In the dead of the night, I could hear my footsteps as my wet rubber slippers brushed against the concrete floor. The cacophony of the bustling station had waned away with the dying light. I sit on an empty-wooden bench. Ripped edges and slivers of wood, pee  Read More...
