Cultivating inner knowing

A question currently animating me about the inner life/spirit is:

What is best for me?

October 13, 2025

A question currently animating me about the outer world/universe/multiverse is:

I cannot answer to this question right now

A moment I noticed my inner light kindled this month was:

I went to the mosque to pray, and two little girls aged 7 and 4 came to play with me. They taught me Malay words and they were so Amazing. They made me laugh.

A moment I noticed my inner light dwindled this month was:

Many many moments, I felt my inner light dwindling when I left, and witnessed my siblings' tears.

Courage

Aligning action

Assumptions I'm examining right now are:

Happiness

October 13, 2025

I originally assumed:

I used to think that happiness meant moving away from everything, focusing on myself would provide me with happiness. Though I am feeling rested, I feel like this convenience has taken away my happiness.

October 13, 2025

These assumptions are changing:

Now I sense that happiness--at least for me-- comes from the beautiful moments I spent with the people I love. The cost of community is convinience, and I realized that I am ready to pay the price.

October 13, 2025

A moment I stepped out of my comfort zone this month was:

Taking public transport alone. Sometimes I got lost, but I just enjoy the fact that I can live like a Malaysian. Also, I never took one before, so it was quite a journey.

Compassion

Engaged Empathy

Something that is helping me build trusting relationships here is:

How we both are openly vulnerable to each other. We are so true to each other when talking, and I find that beautiful honestly.

Peers I'm grateful for:

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.

Douglas Teixeira de Queiroz Santos

Douglas was my very first buddy, and it never stopped. I spoke to him a few days ago and it made me truly happy. He is such a gem and he listens deeply and is always kind. I hope we continue to keep in touch.
