High Healing Powers
Every night at midnight, the purple clouds came out to dance with the blushing sky. The only place where anyone could see the majestic dance is a mountain guarded by five other, taller mountains surrounding it in the form of a pentagram. This was a magical place where time, space, and light collided in unusual patterns, creating the shades of purple you would not see anywhere else.

COVID-19 Pandemic
I came across a number of questions circulated among NYC women leaders that made me reflect on my pandemic experiences as well. Even though I don't live in New York I thought that it would be an interesting exercise to complete and share. If you find this useful, you can also answer and kick this to your networks. Hopefully, this will help us process the collective trauma of the pandemic better. So, here are the questions and my answers:

Of God and Humans, 2
God woke up, sat on the edge of his bed for a second, pushed his feet into soft fluffy sleepers and dragged them into the adjacent room, wrapping himself into a plush bathrobe on the way. He so wished he could just sleep a little more, but this was a part of his daily routine, and he knew what skipping it could mean for his charges: A disaster. As it happened many times before.

Meaning of Life
As someone who spent most of her life in higher education (both as a student and a teacher) and experienced both totalitarian and democratic systems of state rule, I had been thinking about the meaning of life a lot, asking myself big questions like, "Why am I here? Why are all other people here? Is there any sense in all of this, in our time on the planet Earth?" all my life, starting as a child born during the Cold War.

Improbable Love
He: A brilliant computer and network hardware engineer in his early 50s, a widower who recently lost his wife to cancer. Neither tall nor short, but athletically built and active in sports. Not classically handsome, but charming with his dark brown eyes, chiseled jaw, sensual lips, and thick wavy salt-and-pepper hair.

Rediscovered Bach for the New Year and New Humanity
If you know anything about classical music, you must have heard of and listened to the Well-Tempered Clavier - two sets (Volume 1 and 2) of preludes and fugues in all 24 major and minor keys for keyboard by Johann Sebastian Bach. The collection is generally regarded as one of the most fundamental and important works in the history of European classical music.

Violent Night
I cannot even tell you how much I loved the movie! I loved it so much that I watched it twice: First by myself, and with my son for the second time. We both are big movie buffs and it took me a lot of effort not to spoil the movie for my son by answering his rhetorical questions during the movie.
