The Bookshelf That Doesn’t Hold Books to Read
2025-11-30 11:00 UTC by Corey

There is a bookshelf in my house that doesn’t have books to read. Most friends walk past without a second glance.

To be fair, it lives in a unlit corner — From a distance, it looks like a long, tired shelf holding up dusty, forgotten books.

Because those books?
They aren’t the kind I read.
They are the kind I bought because the...

Some of you I’ve met, many of you I haven’t, but almost all of you feel familiar when I see your names in the messages you send me. I recognize you, like you’re right here beside me.

The Mediterranean
2025-11-25 11:00 UTC by Corey

A stone’s throw from Cassis lies Bandol.

The color of blue—
Mediterranean,
rising beneath me
as I stand above the waves.
One place,
yet always changing,
an endless invitation
to beauty.

Being here, even for a moment,
the sea touches my far-off shores.
I pause—
my spirit soars.

Olive Harvest in a Faraway Land
2025-11-24 11:00 UTC by Corey

An old miniature painting surfaced today—a woman kneeling beside an olive tree—and the image immediately evoked Gaza, especially now, in the season when olives should be gathered with eagerness and reassurance of livelihood. The scene carried grief of knowing how many olive trees are being uprooted or burned by the IOF. Their ancient roots...
