  • Bright Stars

    ,

    Bright stars, why do they disappear?What happened to me, everybody asks.Searching for myself, I’m wandering around.Why am I nowhere to be found? Seeking myself, on these paths.Not sure why, i feel I’m drifting away Why do all dreams shatter?Why do they part their ways? What happened, did you ever pause to think?Who am I, and…

  • Moments in Time

    It is true, it feels like time is running fast – and continuously accelerating. Until everything becomes a blur in the past, and we never again get to glance in that window. I keep trying to immortalize past moments by the click of a shutter, and my experiences – my state of mind – by…

  • Eid-Al-Fitr Mubarak 2022

    Another Ramadan has come and gone. A sure sign of the relentless passing of time. As always, it’s been a time of trials and tribulations. Of sincere prayers and deep reflections. A time of lucid late evenings and tired early mornings. And, as always, a time of failure and of success. Today, on the eve…

    Thanks for sharing all your stories, big and small. Thanks for always coming through, and for surprising me when I least expect it. Thanks for your patience even in moments of stress. Thanks for always trying, and for your friendship.

  • Imperfect

    ,

    The landscape lay before me like a painting.If there could ever exist a perfect painting, that is. But no human creation could possess such beauty.Such blend of form and function.None. Taking it all in, I saw the final photograph in my mind’s eye.A beautiful piece of art, able to stir in the viewers heart,the same…

  • Snow

    ,

    Pure, fresh, pristine.Having arrived just a few hours before,it was waiting for us as we stood at the trailhead.A clean white carpet draped on the forest floor,inviting us in. And we walked. Hard as rock. And unforgivingly slippery.Treacherous under a thin blanket of powder.One misstep and we’d be on our backs. We kept walking. Brittle…

  • The Photographer’s Moment

    ,

    Heavy rains were forecasted for the entire day, and that is exactly how it started on that August morning as we found ourselves gearing up for the hike. The Norwegian summer can be unpredictable, especially this late in the season, so even though we had been hoping until the last minute to see an improvement…

  • The Mountains That We Climb

    ,

    In life, we all have our mountains to climb.Our bidding is to keep going, even when times are grim.With prayers and effort, and a firm belief.We long for that breathtaking view from the summit. Once there, we may realize,little do we understand the grand scheme.Such unexpected is life,that it never ceases to amaze and surprise.

  • The Dreams We Never Had

    Sometimes in life, we have dreams. Some can be achieved if we work really hard,pray from our hearts,and are fortunate enough to have just that extra bit of fate on our side. Some are so big, we know they’ll always be outside our reach.Yet we hope, and we pray.And we carry them inside us, safeguarding…
