Between What Ends and What Never Did
This year did not end for me.It simply paused at a moment where a voice disappeared, a presence dissolved, and time forgot how to move normally. They tell us a year “goes away.”But what really goes away is someone, suddenly —and the calendar keeps moving as if nothing sacred has occurred. I have watched joy…

An AntarSaga Editorial — Where Myth, Science, and Consciousness Collide A WhatsApp conversation about stars becomes a meditation on the oldest knowledge—and the newest science.

And every time I walk along Camel’s Back Road or the slopes near George Everest, I feel the same unease: where there were once open slopes, there are now walls; where rain drains once flowed, there are blockages of stone, plastic, and cement.
