Penning Hope
for we always find inspiration despite the doubts and struggles
She stared at the blank page, her pen poised in her hand. She'd been sitting there for hours, but the words refused to come. She tried to remember why she wanted to be a writer in the first place, but all she could recall were the rejections, the failures, the empty notebooks. Maybe she was not meant to write stories after all. Maybe she should give up this dream.
But then, a tiny flicker of an idea lit up in her mind. She wrote down one word, and then another. Suddenly, the story was flowing like a river—unstoppable and true.

The plane soared high in the sky, its engines thrumming steadily as it cut through the clouds. The passengers were mostly asleep or lost in thought, lulled into a sense of security by the drone of the engines and the gentle rocking of the plane.

Hall of mirrors
Things used to matter, before all the noise. And at that time when things still had meaning, there had been dreaming too, when dreams still mattered. And the brightest dream from those times was full of mountains and seas and smiles and the types of passion that absorbs you the way a dog is absorbed by witnessing something for the first time: with absolute presence, and awe.
