Cultivating inner knowing
A question currently animating me about the inner life/spirit is:
How do I make myself happy, and free myself from the constant urge of achieving.

A moment I noticed my inner light kindled this month was:
When I played sports with some random boys, at the City's university. I had not had a deep social moment with someone a while prior, so talking and having fun with them felt refreshing.

I originally assumed:
I used to think that happiness was found in wealth, beauty, achievement. However, I find myself being happy with smaller things--laying down on my mom's thighs, having a conversation with the neighbor...

These assumptions are changing:
Now I sense...

A moment I stepped out of my comfort zone this month was:
When I heard music coming from the neighboor's house and decided to go talk to them. I felt so weird.

Douglas, I will always talk about you. I am so grateful for having you. From our calls where we sing endlessly to being so understanding when I could not go to Bali with you, you have become such a gift to my journey.

Kashimani Simasiku
I felt very lonely in my early days here. Kashimani reached out and we spent some time together. We always check on each other, and have so much fun when together. We often talk and support each other in difficult moments.

I had a walk around the city. I loved how lively it was. The people, the animals, the nature. Everything seemed to live in harmony. I felt a deep sense of peace.

I was in the tram, heading to the city center when a kind woman asked me to sit next to her. Being in a country where people are quite shy, I was surprised to listen to her telling me about her life, her daughter, her family. She held my hand with so much kindness and softness. It almost felt like she was my Mom. It was truly magical, she made my day, and I am infinitely grateful for her.

When I was at the airport in Istanbul, I had a 20-hour layover. I stayed in the mosque, resting between flights. When I first arrived, I smiled at a lady, but I didn’t think much of it.
As time passed, though, she began taking such gentle care of me. She gave me something to cover myself with, smiled at me throughout her shift, sent me flying kisses, and even offered me a few oranges. Before she left, she came over, hugged me, and then walked away.
That moment meant so much to me. I didn’t know her, and she didn’t know me — but that simple act of smiling at her when I arrived somehow created this quiet bond between us. It reminded me how powerful small acts of kindness can be.
