Make Meaning
By: Gabriela Yareliz How do we measure life? I was reflecting on this when Ranier Wylde’s words came to me. Wylde discusses Sisyphus. His piece is great, and it reminded me of how much Stoicism has impacted how I think of things in the world. When faced with a dilemma, I do often stop andContinue reading “Make Meaning”
Saoko
By: Gabriela Yareliz NYC has felt the influx of people for the World Cup. I have seen large clusters of Brazilians, Algerians, French, and Colombian visitors.

The tarp was off, last night. Yesterday’s win was not luck or circumstance. It was pure grit and systematic grind. Game six endedContinue reading “Game Six (Category 5)”
Knicks in Five
Congrats to the Knicks and the City of New York. Yesterday, you could feel the buzz of energy as you walked past certain bars and establishments.
