Twixt and Midst
Twixt & Midst is a collection of ten non-linear narratives exploring the thin, silent boundaries where a life quietly changes direction.
The book is not a memoir, not fiction, not philosophy, and not travel writing-yet it carries the breath of all four. Each chapter stands alone, but together they reveal a deeper structure: the way a human life is shaped not by grand events, but by small, almost invisible thresholds.
These stories move through childhood in a rural village, the weight of expectations, a near-fatal escape across the sea, a love remembered only through rain and light, a quiet separation of two beliefs, the stillness of Bhutan, the vastness of Xinjiang, the collective memory of the tsunami, and the frontier where AI ends and reflective consciousness begins.
What ties them together is a single line that guides the entire book:
"When mind leads,
words find shape,
and the writer stands witness."
Twixt & Midst is a work of boundary literature-writing that lives in the "in-between"
between choice and chance,
between past and present,
between losing and becoming,
between the inner world and the outer landscapes we walk through.
It invites the reader to enter at any chapter, in any order, and to find their own thin place-
one of those quiet, overlooked moments
where time paused for half a second
and life quietly changed direction.
A book of breath, distance, and the small turning points that define us.
