“The problem with artificial minds is not that they think too much, but that they listen too well.”

Below, a scene from The Kaleidoscopic Ring, one of my upcoming sci-fi novels.

The blue-haired Wén Zizzler is bound, helpless, as Vayuna (an exiled intelligence) floats above a fresh crop circle, watched by village elders who may or may not be on his side.

This image captures one of the book’s most unsettling and unforgettable moments. More secrets, chaos, and mind-bending twists from this world are coming soon…

I shot this video about four weeks ago at the #HoChiMinhMausoleum — highly recommended. Vietnam really is a remarkable country, and Hanoi feels like a second home to me.

And no, I will not airbrush out my zit. I am just human, dude 😂

Anyway, the whole reel is on my Instagram. Direct link to the video.

Photos: From a Fake Taj Mahal to the Real Taj (India Reflections)

2025 Dec 22

1st photo: the “Taj Mahal” in Kolkata. 2nd photo: the REAL Taj Mahal in Agra.

When I first came to India in 2023, I was thousands of kilometers away from Agra. Going there just wasn’t in-the-flow in early 2023. Not enough “gas in the tank” for that at that time.

So did I rush it? Did I force it? Did I cave to external pressure to take a train 20+ hours to go there?

 No.

I trusted the flow of life and almost exactly 20 months later, the 2nd photo was taken.

It can be funny how life works when you give it time and let go with faith.

In 2026, I’ll hold intentions, but I’ll let the universe handle the timing.
