The many ways in which we affect one another daily is through interactions. It is easy to overlook the basic principles of these interactions having in mind things we have to deal with. This can lead to frustrations and rubbing shoulders that sabotages our everyday relationships. We can feel it in our work places, gyms, [...]

Illusions.
Ever been to an industrial place? Where there are so many wires and pipes running around huge machines? It can get real noisy and more over, dangerous. The only way to protect individuals from harm is to barricade the voluminous circuits. If there is some noise beyond the safety border, the smartest thing to do [...]
Make it or Break it.
I'm not the YouTube type but I have to admit that there are some really interesting and captivating videos out there. I like watching masters craft their masterpieces. The time taken is long but one can see the dedication reflecting off the product. Among the many, ring crafting is a favorite. You already know what [...]
Leave and Cleave.
No this is not about love and marriage. Ok, maybe it is but that's just one aspect of it. This is about leaving everything you know for an invisible path. It already sounds out of this world but that's what it is. I'm not just a student having trouble in school, nor an under-payed doctor [...]
What Time is it?
A concept we take for granted until it's gone. A system made for man in order to distinguish periods of different time. If it matters that much to know the past, present and the future, then why do we do it? Why do we comply in being boxed into calendars and reminders? The most important [...]

Fruit of the Spirit: Love
In Galatians 5, the fruit of the Spirit is contrasted with works of the flesh. There is a deeper mystery here, the works are in plural but the fruit is singular. There are many explanations to this but my understanding is that works are things we do while the fruit is something we become. And [...]
Clay’s Attitude.
I was having a chat with my small sister last night about life and teenage years. It's true that second-last and third-last borns enjoy quite a luxury and she felt obligated to certain trends. Just going with the flow on media. Our conversation lasted about 30 minutes because I didn't want to get her bored. [...]
