Sex, Love, and the Intelligence That Creates Worlds
There is an intelligence at work long before we call it desire, love, or faith. It decides timing. It governs attraction. It instructs the body how to heal and the soul when to open. Most people encounter it in fragments — during intimacy, moments of clarity, or sudden knowing — without realizing they are brushing against something vast and ordered.

The Eye in the Fold:
Once you notice the hidden center of the cube, it’s hard to unsee it. The drawing no longer feels like a static object with six faces; it becomes a system. Lines converge. Directions collapse inward. A square appears where nothing was explicitly drawn. That emergent center isn’t decoration—it’s functional. It exists because perspective demands it.

You’ve Been Drawing the Fourth Dimension Since Childhood
That simple cube sketch you learned in school isn’t just a way to fake depth on paper. Embedded in its lines is the logic of higher dimensions—an emergent center that appears only when perspective does the work.

Binational Couples
Being in a binational couple is often described as exciting, enriching, and deeply transformative. And it is. But behind the romantic idea of two cultures meeting, there is a daily reality that few people truly talk about: communicating, loving, and building a life together when you do not share the same language, the same cultural reflexes, or the same emotional codes. In binational couples, love is rarely the problem. Communication is. Not because people do not want to understand each other, but because language and culture shape the way we think, argue, joke, express emotions, and even show affection. What feels obvious to one partner can feel confusing, cold, or excessive to the other. The good news is that none of this is a dead end. With the right mindset, binational couples can become not only stable, but deeply fulfilled, because they learn a form of emotional intelligence that many couples never have to develop.

The Black Sheep in a Circle of Wolves. Content Warning.
It’s the holiday season. A time for families to come together and share joy and memories. And give thanks for all the blessings they receive in life. My cousin has been hosting the Thanksgiving festivities at her house for a while now, so going there has become tradition. I couldn't tell you what it's like. I've never been invited. So while my family enjoys turkey, ham, stuffing, alcohol and togetherness, I sit here. Alone. In my bedroom. For I am the Black Sheep of the family.

The Matriarch's Table
Viv, Layla and Hugo are the first to arrive. Frieda, the family matriarch, is already seated at the western side of the large rosewood dining table. Behind her the Lions Gate Bridge separates Burrard Inlet and English Bay. Container ships pass near the horizon beneath the blue-grey blanket of clouds. Ten places laid out with fine bone china, the rosewood table adorned with silver candelabras, silver serving platters, and large silver serving spoons of varying sizes. The grandeur of elaborate high society parties hangs in the air. The servants and guests are long gone. Each room, drenched in the secrets of a bygone era, now collecting cobwebs and dust. Tonight, this one room hums with a throng of life not seen for decades as this final gathering of the motley successors feeds life into the old bones of the structure.

What Happens When She Is Dishonored?
A World With No Honor A lack of honor—especially toward the feminine—doesn’t just feel wrong. It fractures everything it touches.

The Day Begins Here
The Day Begins Here The quiet never lasts long here. It never does. I hear it before I see him — the soft scuff of small feet on the passage floor, the pause outside the kitchen like someone deciding whether the day is allowed to begin yet. Leo appears in the doorway, hair flattened on one side, eyes only half open. He doesn’t say anything at first. He just looks at me, as if confirming I’m still here.

The Hidden Gospels:
What if the Bible we know is only half the story? What if Jesus spoke in secret code because humanity wasn’t ready to hear the truth — that the real enemy isn’t sin, but illusion itself? The banned Gospels tried to tell us this centuries ago, before power rewrote the script.

Profit Sharing Isn’t Sharing
When “Profit Sharing” Is Just a Story We’re Told There’s a difference between being legally free and actually being free—and that gap is where modern work quietly breaks people.

The Unclaimed Dead:
There is an uncomfortable reality rarely discussed in polite reform conversations: when a person dies unclaimed, their body does not remain neutral—it becomes property of the state. In the absence of family, directives, or advocates, governments and contracted institutions are legally empowered to decide what happens next. Remains may be used for medical training, research, or other sanctioned purposes, often without ceremony, public record, or ethical grounds.

The Man Who Kept the Lights On
At half past five each morning, before the city properly woke up, Martin swung his legs out of bed and sat still for a moment.
