Issue 03: The Times are changing - Page 04

by Ayesha Khan

Many of us entered the new decade with high hopes only to find that, somehow, the new year has brought in more problems than it has solutions. We're in a timing where the new normal looks to be the stuff of dystopian fiction, where questions and confusion cloud our better judgement. Ayesha writes about the search of a believer in turbulent times.

RATHER QUIET | ISSUE 03 IS NOW OUT!

Issue 03 is here! Grab your FREE copy now

We choose ambiguous themes for our issues that allow our contributors to interpret them in a variety of ways. The theme of 'Search' is a universal one, and allowed for a myriad of interpretations; the search for answers, for truth, meaning, identity, adventure, love, redemption, opportunity, revenge and so on. But what I noticed, as I read through all the submissions, was how they each emphasized the search within oneself. That was a curious observation on  my part; when you're looking for things that lie outside of your person, why must you start the search from within all the same? I think our contributors illustrated it very well.
