Moravia, Colombia
We gathered in a two-story brick and cement building in the middle of Moravia. Climbing stairs slowly as little feet ran past me, laughing. The stench didn’t matter. The language barrier didn’t quite matter, either. We were meeting to rehearse for the big concert. They had been rehearsing for months, and this was their time [...]

Something that I’m going to take home with me from this place is so simple and yet, so valuable. To feel the depth of ones beauty, be able to embrace it, feel seen even though you are alone, smile inwardly and geuninely, smell the flowers… blow out the candles. Smell the flowers, blow out the [...]
Oh, moments like these.
It’s moments like these that heal your soul, that remind you of how beautiful you are. You become a part of the beauty – you feel it go through your body. It’s as if you were but a skeleton… and the moment flowed through your bones. It’s moments like these that we question ourselves – [...]
