The Paradox of Time: Writing in the Absence of Urgency

I often found myself “stealing” time while she slept, snatching precious minutes to write. And yet, despite the exhaustion and the constant juggling of responsibilities, I managed…

Coffee, Contemplation, and the Sweetest Distraction

This part deals with my quarantine experience. I don’t intend to criticize this practice since it is one of the necessary measures to control the spread of the COVID-19 virus. The COVID-19 pandemic crippled the world economy. The…
