There's a great autobiographical essay by perhaps my favorite writer, Joseph Mitchell, that I copied and pasted onto a word doc that I've been carrying around with me since I first read it almost eleven-and-a-half-years ago. I read it over now and again--probably twice a year. To my old but 20-20...

Yesterday was the start of Music Week at Lutheridge. This year, unlike last year, I can be around for more of it. I plan to go to the choral group (adult choir) rehearsals, so that if my Dad needs anything, I'll be there to help. Plus, I don't mind being there when rehearsing is happening; in...

I've been a huge football fan since 2010, and it all started with falling in love with Joachim Löw's Germany in the World Cup. I remember how watching Manuel Neuer made me so interested in the sport that, as a person who was so afraid of football, basketball, and any other sport that includes...

What is sin in the most basic of senses? Is it akin to the law whereas if one breaks a rule one has sinned, or is there something deeper and more logical about sin that defines it more of a moral problem than an ethical one. In this essay we look at the fundamental of sin so we understand the metaphysics of sin.

I grew up watching cartoons on Fox Kids, like The Kids from Room 402, What’s with Andy?, and Life with Louie. One thing I often saw in these cartoons was children going to school by bike. Sadly, this was not common in Turkey, where I grew up, because the roads were not safe for cycling.I got my...

You are always here. You can never not be here. "Of course I'm here, the mind says. What's the big deal? Where else would I be?" The big deal is this: every desire, every complaint, every sorrow, every fear, every knot of stress, all of it, is essentially a statement that says "I don't want to be...

At five years old, I had my first out-of-body experience. I wasn't afraid. I remember feeling loved, calm, curious, and completely aware. What began as a childhood experience became a lifelong journey of observation, meditation, and discovery. This is the story of how one extraordinary moment shaped the way I understand fear, awareness, and consciousness.

At the beginning of this third instalment of the adventures of Sherlock Holmes’ smart sister, Enola is late, a nod perhaps to the tardy arrival of the film.
