Soulsearching Stories

There's always a fork in the road. One of those you know well, that you pass every day. And there's always a direction you never take, leaving it shrouded in mystery. An ordinary afternoon, a thought that refuses to stay silent any longer, and a step-or rather, a turn-that breaks the routine. But the destination, sometimes, isn't what we imagined. And what we discover along the way can be as simple as it is overwhelming: the weight of what we don't know, and the emptiness that remains when we finally do. A short and intense story about curiosity and memory, mystery and loss. And one that, in the end, leaves us with a question: is it really always necessary to know every answer?

In the quiet moments of life, questions often arise: Where do I come from? What is the purpose of life? Who created all of this?

Presented in multiple languages from around the world, this book is more than poetry-it is a mirror for those who seek meaning, and a path for hearts that long to understand where we came from... and where we are going. Sometimes, a single verse can awaken a heart that has long been asleep.

"He looked at the stars longingly, as if looking for an answer. In return, they just blinked back with all their eternal exuberance. I saw a smile creeping upon his face and then I knew that they had, indeed, answered. It was a secretive smile. A smile that implied an inside joke they were sharing.
