A reflection
“Maybe the mystery is the mercy.”
We spend so much of life asking why. But perhaps not knowing is sometimes a shelter—a gentle space where trust can grow before understanding arrives.

Carnelian
Confidence, strength, motivation, and brave action
What happened to me will not own what happens next.
The past can inform the path without becoming the place where we live.

Awareness, simplicity, light, and appreciation
A life is made in the pauses.

Peace
Peace is a choice not something that happens to you or for you.

Roga Nivarana Suktam
Atharva Veda
मन उत् वा अवहितं देवम् उन् नय पुनः।
उतागश्चकृषं देव देवा जीवथा पुनः॥
तो वात सिन्धु परावतः दक्षं ते अन्यः।
वातु यत्रप आ वात वाहि भेषजम् वि वात यत्रप॥
Mana ut vā avahitaṁ devam un naya punaḥ | Utāgaścakṛṣaṁ deva devā jīvathā punaḥ ||
To vāta sindhu parāvataḥ dakṣaṁ te anyaḥ | Vātu yatrapa ā vāta vāhi bheṣajam vi vāta yatrapa ||
Bring back the mind that has lapsed into distress; grant renewed vitality. May the healing winds blow across from distant oceans carrying remedies and washing away all affliction.
