The world changes, people learn and move up, move forward. She remains the same, unchanged, like stone. Winds bring hurricanes, life can crumble but also be rebuilt- shadows aren’t always omnipresent. She sits still, cold and indifferent, like stone. Each day brings new wonders, there is beauty in freethinking. She can choose to step out … Continue reading Like Stone
Albert
I still remember Albert. He was an aged tree. I was a young leaf, blowing over his land. We met once; I sat across from him, heartbroken, torn, seeking answers: Tell me where to go. Tell me who I should be. Tell me who I will meet. And so, Albert asked me: … Continue reading Albert
