What Have I Been Working On? Navigating Nirvana and Wrestling Words!

What Have I Been Working On? Navigating Nirvana and Wrestling Words! 


Let me tell you, there’s nothing like staring at a blank page and having absolutely no idea what you’re doing. Some days, it feels like the words just don’t want to cooperate, like they’re daring me to quit. But I don’t. You see, writing isn’t just a hobby; it’s a battle of willpower, creativity, and sheer stubbornness. Every draft is a fight to the finish, and every revision feels like you’re carving out something real from a block of chaos.

I’ve been working on projects that span philosophy, reflection, and sometimes just plain ridiculousness. The fun part? The freedom to go anywhere with my ideas. The hard part? Finding the right way to say it. It’s not just about pretty words; it’s about finding the truth buried beneath them, like gold beneath layers of rock. And let me tell you, I’ve been chiselling away for what feels like an eternity.

Writing, for me, is the perfect companion to my spiritual journey. One moment I’m searching for inner peace, and the next I’m tearing through ideas, sentences, and metaphors like a word warrior. It’s this strange dance of serenity and madness, but it’s my kind of dance.

The Intersection of Chaos and Calm

Here’s the kicker: spiritual growth and writing are two sides of the same coin. Both require discipline, both demand you confront your fears and failures, and both give you the occasional high that makes the struggle worth it. When I’ve had a particularly rough day of writing, meditation helps me hit the reset button. When my mind is stuck on a spiritual puzzle, writing is where I untangle the knots.

And you know what? Sometimes, it’s a complete mess. I’ll meditate and find no peace. I’ll write and produce nothing but junk. But the beauty of it all is that I keep going. Whether it’s finding the elusive calm or the perfect phrase, the pursuit is what gives life its flavour. And I’ll take messy, chaotic, and hard-won over easy any day.

So, What Have I Been Working On?

In a nutshell, I’ve been working on life. On trying to balance the wisdom of the ages with the demands of modern-day chaos. On learning how to breathe deeply, stay patient, and find clarity amid the noise. And on putting it all down on paper—sometimes elegantly, sometimes clumsily, but always with heart.

So next time someone asks me, “What are you working on?” I’ll tell them: I’m working on finding calm in the storm. I’m working on turning words into something meaningful. And most of all, I’m working on not giving up, even when the journey gets tough. Because in the end, isn’t that what life’s all about?
