Words are architects of the unseen,
Weaving meaning where silence has been.
With breath and sound, they rise and take flight,
Turning shadows into stories, day into night.

A whisper can spark, a sentence can heal,
Unravel the chaos and make sense of the real.
They soften the edges, bring solace to pain,
Or summon a storm with the weight of disdain.

Words build bridges where borders divide,
They carry our longing, our truth, and our pride.
They teach us to listen, to seek, and to see,
Unveiling the beauty i…

"One of the pleasures of looking at the world through mathematical eyes is that you can see certain patterns that would otherwise be hidden." – Steven Strogatz

"It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it." – Aristotle

How do you know if you are truly open-minded? It is easy to assume that we are open-minded, but often, we have hard edges around what we are willing to accept as true. Being genuinely open-minded isn't about being easily swayed by others' opinions but rather about being willing to objectively consider different perspectives and beliefs.

Open-mindedness requires a balance between curiosity and d…

"Nothing in life is more exciting and rewarding than the sudden flash of insight that leaves you a changed person." – Arthur Gordon Webster

Life is a canvas, wide and vast,
Each day a stroke, a moment cast.
Not just a picture set in stone,
But art in motion, yours alone.

Choose your colors, rich and bright,
Layer shadows, welcome light.
Blend your laughter, mix your pain,

Let passion guide the hand you play,
Turn mistakes into art, not gray.
Edges rough, yet beauty grows,
In imperfection, something glows.

Embrace the pauses, the space between,
For even silence shapes the scene.
Let kindness etch each line with g…
