Artificial Walls

February 20, 2026 The icon has been painted over. The idol that I worshipped in the light, Has faded with the closing of the day, A different dawn now breaks upon my sight, And turns my ancient faith to mist and grey. ~ Aasi Tahir Siddique

February 19, 2026 A Patient, Silent Artisan It comes again— a quiet, relentless tide, washing over the debris of my despair. It does not ask for the whole, only the pieces— the sharp edges of loss, the splintered wood of broken dreams. Hope sits in the ashes, a patient, silent artisan, gathering the glass. With scarred hands and trembling grace, it binds them— not to erase the break, but to make the mosaic stronger for the cracks. It returns, not as it was before, but as a deeper, more resilient light— finding itself again, in the very place it fell. ~ Aasi Tahir Siddique

February 15, 2026 Shadows of Complexities in Life Daily routines are not without challenges. Even a hesitation may disturb a pattern of thought. I understand that hesitation is a normal part of the mind process just like basic instinct. But what may cause an unnecessary longer hesitation and deter one from taking an action? Is it because intuition or other preferences are ingrained in the mindset as part of the learning process beginning in childhood? Or perhaps it is part of growing up in a certain environment - cultural, ideological, or otherwise - without fully developing reasoning skills. ~ Aasi Tahir Siddique

February 14, 2026 The Silence of Broken Oaths A constitution stands only while leaders follow the rule of law. When command is severed from conscience and edict replaces law, its purpose is hollowed, and the people inherit the silence of broken oaths. ~ Aasi Tahir Siddique

February 9, 2026 An Overeach of Etiquette Outdated Rules, Perhaps! I tend to avoid any place or houses of worship that requires me to remove footwear before entering. What is even more annoying, is when anyone treats a primary residence as a sacred place. What if someone can't tolerate toenail fungus, smelly and sweaty feet that fill the air with odor and leave the floor germy? ~ Aasi Tahir Siddique

February 3, 2026 Dominus Regit Me The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies, you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever. “The beloved poem by David” The poem that touches my soul, Aasi Tahir Siddique
