Good morning, yawns the willow
Stretching out tiny buds
Awoken by the pleasant
Tickling of the Sun
Jackdaw girl proudly carries
Her favourite precious stick
Watching out for the best

Ever thought of taking a break from Facebook or Twitter? Here is why you should try
It’s incredible what a few days off social media can do. I’ve only gone without Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram for 2.5 weeks, and it already made me happier than I could have imagined. I’m more productive and getting more accomplished each day than I ever did in my life. At the same, I’m much more […]
Kaleidoscope
If you’re wondering why a grown-up person might ever need a kaleidoscope, here is why. This is an actual photo I took in my living room. Sure it won’t be the last one of this kind. Oh, I also made it swirl.
So much more
Are you ready to leave your pain behind?
A few weeks ago I wrote a blog post right from my delayed airplane, unsure whether I’ll make it to my connection flight to Apotheosis retreat. The chances were slim. I had slightly over 30 minutes to run across the largest airport in Europe, including border control and possibly other checkpoints on the way. I […]

When being a regional comptroller, you need to know the […]
Heavy sack
With such burden on your shoulders
How will you spread your wings?
Where we are going they’ll give you
Much more than you can ask for
Put down your heavy sack
Full of what ifs
Just in cases
Emergency plans
And raise
Free to fly
Where the Unexpected awaits
To get hold of the treasure
You’ll have to come empty handed
Blue-crowned motmot
Who would have thought I’d spend three entire afternoons drawing a bird? Well here I am. I met this one on a morning walk in Costa Rica. He wasn’t scared of me at all, and I couldn’t help but fall in love with his bright colors and magnificent tail. Here’s a tribute to that wonderful […]
Busy is a choice
When I lived in Korea, it shocked me how everyone perceived ‘busy‘ as a badge of honor. It meant you’re a productive member of your group and people can rely on your sacrifice. It meant you’re working hard and should be praised for it. I remember how I told my colleague once that everyone was […]
