Namramurti

 

Hi, friends! Welcome back to Amid Night Suns. So, a while back I said I'd start posting more fiction to this blog's sister site, The Night Sun. It's a platform I set up for that very purpose, because the formatting here in blogger is difficult when you're trying to post narrative content. Short stories just read better over there. For an optimal experience I'd suggest reading those pieces on the desktop site rather than the mobile version, as there's less glitches.

Either way, there's already two other pieces up, and I've been working hard on the third for the last week or so. Like I've said before, I'm not a professional writer by any means, but storytelling is something I genuinely adore. I hope to continue improving as a storyteller purely for the love of the craft – and because I truly believe it's one of the most powerful ways to connect with ourselves, with each other, and with the complex realities of the wider world.

I've always believed that stories help us grow. They help us process difficult emotions, cultivating empathy and spiritual insight. For me, I always feel closest to the mysteries of God when I can immerse myself in the joys of art. I hope I can do the same for you with my modest contributions. So, my latest piece is a short story called Namramurti. I hope it entertains, quickens or moves you in some way. Also, Happy Valentine's Day, my friends! I wrote this for you. Wishing you all the best, with much love and respect, Raj.
