For months, I had been reflecting on this scripture, even written it on a note card placed on my desk as a constant reminder.

I pour water mixed with different colors (red, yellow, blue) in small cups to create background– I see water and […]
Books, stacks and stacks of books. Growing up in India, my relationship with books was simple – test score. I read books, when needed, so I could pass my tests. My school had a small library and we weren’t allowed to check out books. We could read it and give it back before exiting the […]
