  • Books as Mirrors

    On a rainy afternoon, where the world outside my windows blurs into a watercolor haze, I’ll turn to cradling a well-worn book. I often choose the books I read on a whim, as if it were calling to me from a crowded shelf. A book worthy of my attention should feel like stepping into an…

  • Are Songwriters the Sages of Our Time?

    Today, influencers and self-help gurus seem to have become the new prophets. So, it’s almost quaint to consider that our deepest truths might be found in the lyrics of a rock song.
