The past few weeks have carried a few milestones in my life, worth noting. 7/5/16 marked the 1-year anniversary of my relocation to SF. Looking back at both of the times, they feel as if they were simply moments from the present. Life is so fleeting and short. Yet, it is sweet and savory. The best […]
I’ve found that as I grow older, the constant change I find is in the perspectives I gain from the passing years. New people, places, challenges, heartaches, and personal reflections grow like a tree branch. San Francisco is a challenging city to live in. It’s one of the most expensive cities in the world. Though, […]
Since it’s been just over one year since my move to SF, I thought it would be nice to jot down some thoughts and personal reflections I’ve had since moving to California for the second (and seemingly final) time. This year has been a wonderful year of transformation, love, personal reflection, and renewal. Prior to […]
“Its for us, Yegie!” I exclaimed, while looking at a beautiful sunset cradle the clouds of another beautiful Oakland sky. We had ventured through the streets of downtown Oakland, taking a walk between shopping at the neighborhood stores, on a day that seemed to pronounce its’ own beauty through the skies, sights, and flavors of […]
The story of Superman spins the tale of a young baby that falls to earth, is adopted by a loving family, and rises up to become the superhero of the world. He becomes a legend to those he saves, especially Lois Lane – the love of his life. As a child, I looked up to […]
During an audition for a play, two men were competing for the main role. It was decided the role would be given to the man who could best recite Psalm 23. One man was an accomplished actor, taking the role to add to his growing list of leading roles in other productions. The other was […]
“A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city: and their contentions are like the bars of a castle.” As the spring solstice passes by, I can’t think of a better time to jot down a few thoughts that have been on my mind. The changing of the skies/tides is a reminder […]
As a writer, the world presents itself to me in ways that I translate through the strokes of a keyboard. Similar to an artist with a brush, writing employs a much starker canvas than a palette of oil paint, while unique and different in its’ expression. I started writing at a very young age; prompted […]
In Robert Bly’s book, Iron John, he writes of the transformation a young boy makes as he descends from the heights of a great kingdom. The boy encounters a wild man in the forest that gives him various challenges to test his mettle. In one of the chapters, the boy works within the dirty ovens of the […]
On the steps by Lakeside Chalet, near Lake Merritt, there are words written on the ground: “SERVICE ABOVE SELF” When I walk by these words, it’s a reminder that service to others is one of the highest ‘good’ endeavors we can accomplish with our life. Since resigning from my job in the tech industry, I’ve […]
