A communications professional turned philosophy explorer; I try to answer the big questions for myself. ‘It was not the fish that discovered water,’ someone once said. I wanted to be that fish that sees the water, which led me to write my first book ‘Hiding in Plain Sight.’ My discovery? That language is our water.

Why does the same word carry different meanings in different languages? What is the hidden meaning behind a word? Why do we speak at all, and what is it that we are really saying? These questions never left me.

Language is an open secret. Decoding this secret, one word at a time, leads to paths that are both astounding and mysterious, although well-trodden by everyday use.
