To have war in your body and yet be at peace with yourself: On Living Fully.
Recognizing that every day is unique and serves its purpose, even though it may not always be evident how it will fit.
Once you’ve lived through enough phases in life, you can see that, for better or for worse, times will change. Yet your soul, the inner core of who you are, will always remain.

City nights in rain
Lights reflecting on the street
Peace in the chaos
haiku | 01
Freedom is falling
Freedom is rising back up
Freedom, the unknown
haiku | 02
Purpose is pulsing
The heart intensely beating
Engulfed in passion
haiku | 03
First sun of summer
Glowing rays of light and hope;
Renew us again.
haiku | 04
Our world is not the same without you,
But heaven is better with you there.
A part of us left the Earth that day,
But part of you stayed with us here.

Brashness and recklessness are often mistaken for bravery.
