the clouds, in between
sometimes, the only safe place
mind doesn't know limits
the danger is everywhere
suffocating boundaries

Journals
I got two new journals for this year, Moleskine. I love this brand; the pages are soft and inviting to write on.
The 2026 weekly planner is my gratitude journal. I’m really enjoying having the dates nicely organized, and the space is perfect for a few words per day. The side page has enough space in case I want to elaborate a little more.
The pocket one is my creativity journal. I draft poems, collages, and scribble whatever comes to mind. The size is perfect to have it with me all the time.
I’m still using last year’s journal for my morning pages. I started it almost at the end of the year, so still lots of blank pages to be filled.
And you? Have you got a new journal for this year?
WDYS :: lost
Four years to get a degree, 2 semesters per year, 8 books per semester. At the end 64 books and no jobs available. Last resort, sell the books and go away, a journey without destination to find my trueself. To discover what the books weren't able to teach me.
Sadly this is the path of many students nowadays.

hello
Hello, my blog friends. I haven’t posted here for one month. The business at the end of the year and vacation time kept me away from this space. Happy New Year to you! Hope you had a great holiday and are enjoying the start of the new year.
I went south for my vacation, Caribbean. I really needed a break from the cold weather; it wasn’t much, only a week, but enough to recharge my energy.
I’m never tired of looking at the clouds and the world from up there
all the green and exquisite animals made me happy
oh, the food and cocktails, just amazing, no words to describe how luxurious and satisfying they were
The best of everything was spending time on the beach, doing nothing, only being in the present moment.
Looking forward to a creative new year ahead!

W3 :: in between
in between
past and future
through the oceans
an endless voyage
the destine embraced me
clipped my wings and rooted me in this place
tomorrow knocks on my door
too late now
the sorrows are heavy in my hands
my body is weak
the colourful me has faded away
in between

Welcome December!
Welcome December!
I can’t believe the last month of the year is here! 2025 could be described as ‘hurry’. Too much to do and so little time, the months started and ended with such haste.
We had our first snowfall of the season over the weekend. It’s pretty out there, all white, and the stillness that comes with it urges me to slow down and ponder what it is worth to me right now. To keep up with the hurry and let this month go by as quickly as the others, or to slow down and enjoy each moment?
Twinkle lights, a hot drink, books, blogging, writing … all the goodness winter has to offer. Yes, it’s time to go inwards and take care of myself.
Happy winter to you!

Tanka Tuesday :: Veil
to unveil the truth
waiting for the right moment
who knows how to wait
in the autumn's darkest night
a bridge to the believers
A tanka for tanka tuesday – veil
W3 :: Comfort
Chocolate
Overjoyed by the taste
Mouth watering
Fortunate comfort
Over the weekend
Restoring my energy
To go ahead with the chores
An acrostic poem for this week’s W3. It was Halloween last week, and I have lots of chocolate bars leftover since not many kids showed up. So, I guess, I’ll have “comfort” for many weeks ahead 🙂
W3 :: Swoosh
the swoosh
tells you a story
carried through the centuries
under the willow tree
lives were sacrificed
men rule against
nature's will
nowadays
the story needs to be listened
under the willow tree
pay attention
