Welcome beneath the storytelling tree.
This is not just a library. It’s a circle of tales — each one whispered with care, wrapped in metaphor, and sent into the world like a seed on the wind.
Here, I share short stories that spark joy, stir thought, and sometimes nudge your perspective sideways. They don’t take long to read, but they tend to linger — like drumbeats in the chest or echoes in the dusk.
Wander through the stories below. Some will make you smile. Others might make you pause. All are offered with the hope that they add a little more sunlight to your day.
Take your time, reflect, and pass it on if it speaks to you. Stories are alive as long as they’re shared.
Turning privilege into purpose: a reflection on inequality and hope for the new year
As we mark the final day of the year, it’s a moment for reflection—not just on personal achievements and goals, but on the stark inequalities that shape our world. While many of us enjoy the comforts of shelter, education, and financial security, millions like Aamira, a 25-year-old mother of three from Sudan, face daily struggles for survival. Her story, set against a backdrop of displacement and loss, challenges us to rethink privilege and turn it into purpose. This New Year, let’s move from kindness to justice, from compassion to action, and fight for a fairer, more equitable world.
