The last time I rock bottom, a divine being burst into my life and flew me out of hell. Cool, right? No, dude. All that glitters is not gold. Being in a normal relationship is hard; being with a divine being is crazy. The same rules don’t apply as in normal relationships (in my per...

Slick latex gloves, lacy negligees in fire-engine red, ivory linens draped carelessly across naked, muscular bodies: touch-me textures and an occasional pop of color burn through the smoldering haze of Yasmina Safi’s bedroom photographs. Shot primarily on film and Polaroid, her work capture...

A whisper can only be produced using the vocal ligament, a band of elastic tissue in the vocal folds of the voice box. There is more strain on the voice to whisper than during regular speech. Whispering is often associated with secrecy, exclusiveness, intimacy. It’s sharing information that...

It’s quite a rare occurrence to dine at a multi-michelin-star restaurant. I can probably count the times I’ve done it on one hand. There’s many reasons for that, not just the cost (although that is often a bit much), the availability (I’ve tried to dine at French Laundry to n...

Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony — it’s a masterpiece that first graced the world in December 1813, all in aid of Austrian and Bavarian soldiers bearing the scars of battle. Though you might think of the Fifth or the Ninth as Beethoven’s ultimate creation, it’s the Seventh ...

I remember vividly the first time that I saw Amma, the hugging saint, over a decade ago. Born Mata Amritanandamayi, Amma (which means “mother”) travels the world (or did until covid) giving people hugs. The experience is called darshan, or vision of God. A friend had suggested I ...

I was never a huge fan of the Legend of Zelda games, mainly because I was terrible at them. I couldn’t get past the 8th castle in the first quest of the original NES game (never mind the second), try though I might as a child, in college, and another attempt in my early 30s. Then I tried Zelda...

For as long as I can remember, I was a proud atheist. So much so that when I attended my sister’s communion as a teenager, I stubbornly stayed seated, unwilling to walk up to the front to partake in the ritual. My grandfather gave me a furious look. My whole family didn’t understand why ...
