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.
The tables outside were set, ready to be used, and empty. As the sun gently said goodbye to everyone without regard for their standing, I was amazed at the quiet conversation between the restaurant staff. Every table and seat was known. Care and attention flowed naturally. Handoffs, assists, and covering the gaps all came without apparent oversight or undue coordination. Everyone was on the same page....
My walk took me past a building lit up at night. It was standing tall, with a few windows revealing occupants that gave it value and presence. The potential metaphors illustrated how Life often has so much to say to a person with a limited attention span. Each window came with a potential insight. With awareness mixed with emptiness, the building could have been almost...
Read moreThe clouds did not seem to be moving. It felt as though they were hanging out to share a bit of shade for all who were willing to appreciate the shelter. Along the way, one building echoed the sky on its glass façade. The effortless blend of images opened a moment for Life to offer a teaching moment. It was direct, gentle, and challenging, of...
There are times in my life when the silence overwhelms me. Candidly, it is not as if it is totally quiet. The statement reflects an awareness within me that the noise and voices are not landing. For all their volume and emotions, they might as well be silent. They are not getting through the barriers I have constructed. Whatever they might be saying, my heart and...
The wall art was simple, unique, and, to me, powerful. Multiple succulents share a common purpose of storing water within themselves for when it is needed most, each with a unique structure and message. These plants are not, to my knowledge, native. They are representative of the different ways life and nature store what we need the most. I wake to a day...
The wall art was familiar, though not in the way I first imagined. I started with a view that I had seen it before. With time, I found myself going through different art forms and pictures, searching for an artist or genre. As time passed, I realised my reaction was being triggered by whispers sharing reminder lessons that I could take with me. Today’s...
Read moreThe wall above my hotel bed said it all, “This is where I am”. I do not recall experiencing these words with the same level of directness, clear black and white, one cannot ignore the message, before now. I had two reactions. First was a defensive reaction, “Yes, I am here but it is only temporary”. The second was more reflective, “Finally, someone is accepting...
Read moreThe glass dome on the table was, I thought, predictable. I ignored it under the assumption that it was providing a safe display of flowers and fauna that were from another land and reality. To my surprise, when I looked more closely, I found symbols of an oasis of safety. It reflected the heart of how I know I am safe in the Emirates. ...
Read moreI look towards the source of the wind. The horizon told the story. A storm was on the way. Staying in a place of safety is always a good idea, especially with a storm menacing and growling in front of you. In hindsight, the storm arrived more quickly than I anticipated. Even with the clear view, public alerts, and warnings, the winds and rain came in...
