Small little things bring such joy.

New York City - This picture is the best way I can talk about New York City. Ideally, I prefer an aerial voice but on a rainy day, wings on air aren't always possible.

Pathway to destiny!

We all think of destiny all the time. At this very moment you may stop by at this image and think ‘how beautiful it is to see a 360 degree panoramic view from the top of Mt Mitchell in North Carolina’ or perhaps you may Marvell on the fact that you can see 7 states from that vantage point. But that’s not the point. For me it’s transcendency beyond the plane of human existence. Infinite number of destinies. However, do I embody in any one of them is one question. Is there a pathway to any of them is another question. Yet, I stand here on earth bridging the path that I best know is possible. A wise man once told me ‘Dream on’ all destinies have a pathway if not then create one.

Rising above the terrain on ancient wings, knowing the open sky was always there. Waiting not for the world to clear a path, but for the mind to remember how to fly.

We're all just travelers here!

The night sky reveals far more about us than a silent meditation. No man is so brave that he can stand in the darkest corners of the earth, gaze up at the cosmic arch, and not ask: 'Who am I?' That very gaze casts a spell. It shifts our perspective, reducing us first to mere dust in a vast, infinite space. Yet, from that exact premise of nothingness, a deeper truth emerges. We are not just passive onlookers; we are travelers manifesting in legions of awareness. Being this, being that, but most importantly, being human.

Thrilled to share my latest guest post on DarkSky!

It’s about discovering the magic of the night without needing to travel too far and why protecting our local dark skies matters.
