Hearing and sharing stories are a big part of living and growing. I hope my stories will help you discover and hear more of your own stories. Feel free to share and be part of the quest to discover and hear the Whispers in the moments we have.
I walked home, remembering how a friend recently received a jaywalking ticket and a fine. Instead of my usual look both ways and cross if it seems safe, I touched the safety measures available to everyone. I know I am a habitual offender in the way I often disobey traffic rules when I am walking. I was confident that I did not deserve consideration...
Read moreDetailsThe potential apartment had a haunting and distracting smell in every room. At some point, I looked up. Instantly, I knew the source and the cause of my rapidly building headache. I have no idea how long things had been in the state that I found them in. In the moment, my full attention was on the alternatives at hand and what choice I would...
The box has been sitting high on the shelf for so long that I could not remember with confidence what was inside. I knew it was extra parts for my motorcycle. Beyond the idea of the content, everything was a mysterious haze growing with time. Unpacking the box took me from the unknown to the known, from wondering to holding insights that I will...
A video connection always reveals more than the one in the frame realises. As I looked at the reflection in the stone column I was standing in front of, I realised that being seen on my mobile with this as a backdrop would reveal, for those who knew the area well, where I was and what time of day it was likely...
The water bottles on the wall and curved into the ceiling of the restaurant formed a dark, silent, and wordless reminder and reflective light. As I explored the lighting and its impact on the ambience, I could not escape the reminder of how much water I would like to drink each day. My target is six to eight glasses. My reality is often less,...
If I had not looked up, I would have missed it. Ironically, the sign was after the danger point, so the warning came as I was in the middle of the danger. The warning was an immediate call to look left, right, behind, and ahead. My casual walk in deep reflection, broken by the call to action. I found myself smiling as I considered the...
My worst decisions often occur when I am tired, especially when it is a deep physical and mental tiredness. It is as if sleep invites logic, knowledge, and values to skip out when I have pushed her to the side. My intensity can drag the physical me through tiredness and exhaustion, even as I feel the heart and mind slipping into a state...
The scene in front of the restaurant was chaotic. Cars, small buses, people going in and out of a hotel, residences, and the restaurant, everyone fighting for attention and priority. Add to the mix delivery personnel with small motorcycles, and the stage was set for confusion. In the midst of it all, the signs for takeaways were clear and well laid out. There was no...
Knowing where one is stepping can be challenging. Fading light, eyesight, and one’s sense of direction play into the challenge of staying safe while finding one’s destination. There is an expression that comes into play; let’s meet on the level. I smiled at the sign, displayed in both English and Arabic, that we meet and stand as equals in the larger story of our...
