A Dance on Sacred Stone There are moments in life that seem to stretch beyond time. History, joy, and reverence meet in a single breath. One such moment unfolded before me atop the Simpyram Pagoda in Mingun, Myanmar. The ancient structure, gleaming white beneath the sun, stood like a dream carved from Chantilly cream [...]
A Single Tree in a Vast Land Imagine an arid plain in Kenya. The wind sweeps across cracked earth, stirring dust beneath a brooding sky. A Maasai woman walks alone across the landscape, her red cloth trailing in the wind. To her left stands a solitary tree: her arboreal companion, rooted in silence and [...]
When the Rain Paused, Life Leapt Forward The first week of January here in California arrived with a downpour. The rains, though welcome, wrapped the days in a gray hush, and I found myself pacing the studio, craving sunlight and motion. As I sifted through archives, I came across a photograph made in Vietnam. [...]
As 2025 draws to a close, I find myself suspended between reflection and anticipation—a quiet threshold where trepidation and hope live side by side. In these tender moments of transition, I often seek refuge in nature’s enduring wisdom, its infinite beauty, and its reminder that resilience is not only possible—it is everywhere. The Harsh [...]

A young novice monk stood barefoot with his alms bowl, the immense figure of an elephant behind him like a living shadow. Their stillness spoke volumes. The contrast in size was striking, but even more so [...]

It is a bond suspended in a single, breathless moment. In one of my recent journeys, I stood with them at the edge of the world, where time [...]
Even in the quietest seasons, nature offers us beauty we do not earn, only receive. The Quiet Miracle of Flowers Last year, I gifted an orchid to a dear associate on her birthday. For months, it stood in her home as nothing more than a bare stick. Its delicate white blooms were long gone, leaving [...]
In the heart of Myanmar’s ancient city of Bagan, where over 3,500 temples and pagodas stretch across the golden plains, time seems to slow. The land hums with a quiet reverence, holding centuries of devotion in its sun-warmed bricks and fading murals. It is a place that invites pause, a stillness not just in [...]
In Kyoto’s ancient heart, where spirit and earth entwine, the passage through vermillion becomes a walk into something luminous.
