The Steering Wheel of Your Soul
For a long time, I believed that life was a workshop, not a road. You know that feeling when you are constantly “under the hood,” your hands covered up to the elbows in the black oil of old traumas, technical debts of the past, and the incessant need to fix something? For years, I was the chief mechanic of my own destiny. A geologist by profession, a mineralogy engineer by education, but in my soul, an eternal repairer of breakdowns that never seemed to end.

From Minerals to Memoirs: How I Found My Malachite Peace in Paris

Maybe you’ve seen it, maybe you haven’t—but here’s the gist: a young woman disappears for seven years, returns with her sight restored, and tells a story about near-death experiences, secret experiments, and movements that open doors to other dimensions. As I watch, a thought springs to mind: what if Jesus—the Jesus we know from scripture—was also an interdimensional traveler?

The Geology of a Proud Step: How to Stay True to Yourself Abroad
They say that living in a foreign country is a process where you slowly lose yourself, until you become a shadow of what you once were. I say it is a geological process. We do not disappear; we merely settle into new layers, becoming harder, more resilient, and crystallizing under the pressure of unfamiliar streets.
