Life Unfolds in Moments of Choice
l don’t often call myself a worrier, but a low hum of restlessness has taken hold. It started one early dawn, just before a long-awaited sunrise. I stood by my window, breathing in the quiet when a loud crash echoed from the kitchen. It was the water heater. Pipes burst, and the floors were awash in seconds. I scrambled, piling up towels, moving anything that might soak, muttering to myself, “this, too, is a part of the process.” After what felt like hours, I managed to stop the flood. By late morning, I left for work, feeling a strange clarity beneath the chaos.

In Fine Form
Beauty truly lies in the eyes of the beholder. When we remember that we are all creations of God—divinely crafted, like a painting inseparable from its artist—we realize that each of us holds a spark of divinity. Within us is a light, a vessel of greatness, waiting to be shared. We can choose to be transparent, letting our inner colours shine and inspire those around us, or to hold our light close, preserving it until it fills us so completely that it naturally spills over to someone in need. Either path is valid; the essential thing is that we hold this awareness with reverence and respect.
