Whether written centuries ago or just last year, literary couples show that love is timeless.

The World Through Different Eyes
We often believe that reality is fixed, that the world exists exactly as we perceive it. But the truth is, reality is much more flexible than we realize. It’s shaped by our thoughts, our experiences, and the lens through which we choose to view life.

A Pachelbel Canon Night. Top Story - December 2025.
When I was writing my first book, the world around me was asleep, and I was awake in the wonder of the light. Every guidance was in the nuance of the living form. I had a house then and not much else, but I had a room for which to grow and live, and everything else was a beam of light to see by. I lived in prayer, in meditation, and there was no radical transformation. It was more of a sifting and taking it all in.

The Foundation for Order in a Collapsing Culture
This is a systems-level framework, not a polemic or a list of opinions. It lays out a sequence of foundational truths about how societies maintain order, how that order erodes, and why collapse follows when truth, accountability, and consequence are selectively suspended. Each point builds on the last, tracing a logical path from epistemology and moral agency to politics, institutions, and cultural outcomes.

The Night That Invented Christmas
Often celebrated as the first Christmas poem ever written, “A Visit from St. Nicholas,” later known as “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas,” holds a singular place in cultural history. Written in 1822 and published anonymously on December 23, 1823, in the Troy Sentinel newspaper of New York, the poem introduced a complete and enchanting Christmas narrative unlike any that had come before. Earlier hymns and seasonal verses certainly existed, yet none offered a fully realized story centered on a magical Christmas Eve visit. This poem changed how the holiday would be imagined, celebrated, and shared for generations.

The Ritual of Winter. AI-Generated.
Winter does not arrive all at once. It settles in gradually, almost politely, as if asking permission before it takes up space. The days shorten by minutes we barely notice. The air grows sharper, the light thinner. Eventually, one morning, the world feels different. The season has arrived, not with ceremony, but with certainty.

The Wisdom of the Radish Patch
The Lunar New Year chill still lingers in the air, but the sunshine filtering through the leaves brought a welcome hint of warmth. We set off on a winding trail of mixed stone and concrete steps, a path that seemed to stretch out into the distance with no clear end.

How Reckless Leadership Fuels Global Crisis
A Complaint on Trump: How Reckless Leadership Fuels Global Crisis Leadership is not merely about authority or popularity; it is about responsibility, restraint, and an understanding that decisions made at the top ripple across borders. As a global citizen, I submit this complaint not as an act of hatred, but as an act of concern. The actions and rhetoric associated with the Trump administration have contributed to instability, fear, and division—both within the United States and far beyond its borders.

Love and Being Loved: The True Nature of Life and Humanity
Love and being loved are the true nature of life and humanity. Across cultures, languages, and generations, this idea quietly repeats itself in different forms, yet its meaning remains the same. No matter how much society changes, how advanced technology becomes, or how complex human systems grow, love continues to sit at the center of what it means to be human.

The Living Machine Within
Ali had always wondered how the human body worked so perfectly without ever stopping. How did the heart know when to beat faster? How did the lungs never forget to breathe? One night, while studying human physiology late into the evening, Ali fell asleep on his book—and his curiosity carried him into an unforgettable dream.

The Change You Don’t Notice Until You Do
How many times have you returned to a place — just a month later, or maybe a year — and realized that something has shifted? Maybe the building looks the same, the people still sit in the same spots, the streets haven’t moved an inch… and yet, somehow, everything feels different.
