Leaves in the Wind

A series of thoughtful essays written during the upheaval of war, this collection offers a quiet refuge in everyday moments. The author reflects on the simple act of traveling alone on a night train, turning the cramped carriage into a stage for imagination, freedom, and self‑conversation. A seemingly trivial encounter with a persistent mosquito becomes a playful meditation on control, irritation, and the unexpected companionship that can arise in solitude.

Interwoven with gentle humor and keen observation, the pieces capture the tension between external turmoil and inner calm. The writer’s voice moves from witty banter to sincere wonder, inviting listeners to pause and notice the “leaves” that drift into their own lives—those fleeting thoughts, small encounters, and quiet revelations. Ideal for anyone seeking a reflective, lightly humorous companion on a long journey or a quiet evening.
