travel

The ultimate test of a compatible relationship is whether you can stand to travel together.

The Candle, the Soup, the Walk
Winter does not arrive with a calendar date. It enters slowly, like a shadow lengthening across the room. First, the evenings slip away earlier than I notice. Then the sound of the world changes: footsteps on the pavement sharpen, voices outside seem to fall back into echoes. And then there is the stillness — an almost imperceptible pause that settles over the air. That is when I know it has come. Winter begins not in snow or frost, but in the silence that draws me inward.

The Forgotten Purse That Taught Me Faith
A Forgotten Purse and a Lesson in Faith BY:Khan Life often teaches us lessons in the most unexpected ways. Some experiences leave such a deep impression that they remain etched in memory forever, not only as personal anecdotes but also as reminders of faith, trust, and divine protection. One such incident happened to me many years ago, during a wedding in our family. Though it took only a few hours to unfold, the memory of that day has lived with me ever since.

Samud Flotilla — One Ship, a Thousand Voices
They load the crates slowly, as if careful hands might somehow steady the trembling hope inside them. Blankets, water filters, generators, baby formula, bandages — basic things that should never be extraordinary. On deck, volunteers fold tarps and whisper prayers. Journalists check batteries. A doctor smooths an envelope of emergency medicine and looks out toward the horizon where Gaza waits.

Not Aimless. Honorable Mention in Maps of the Self Challenge.
A crippling sense of something unknown takes my mind on a journey that I wish would be silence instead of aching. Why does the mind like to overtake the brain? Who am I to stop it? I think I could, I think... is that the problem, thinking, too much or thinking too little. Not enough impulsive action, not enough decisive reaction.

The Wolf, the Child, and a Policeman’s Courage
The Wolf, the Child, and a Policeman’s Courage BY:Ubaid I served in the police force at a time when life for ordinary constables was not filled with privileges as it is today. Back then, there were no official vehicles to ride, no protective gear, and certainly no well-furnished residences. We relied mostly on our own means—our personal horses carried us from one place to another, and when we were granted leave to visit our families, we had to deposit our government-issued rifles at the station. The only weapons left for our protection were simple knives or daggers.
