A poetry collection by Aida Takyrbasheva
EverythingisFleeting
Part prayer, part love letter, part companion for the journey home to yourself.
Aida Takyrbasheva is a Kyrgyz-American poet, author, speaker, startup advisor and entrepreneur writing on intuition, becoming and human intelligence. She is the author of Everything Is Fleeting. Her work explores self-trust, intuition, presence, impermanence, human intelligence and possibility.
Away from the page, she builds, advises and speaks across technology, startups and go-to-market strategy — asking what remains distinctly human as artificial intelligence grows more capable. Intuition, emotional intelligence, self-trust and discernment run through the poems and the stages alike: one question, asked in two languages. What becomes more valuable when intelligence is no longer scarce? That question is the ground of Possibility Intelligence (PQ), the framework she is developing for intelligence under uncertainty.

Whispers from the book
“The old self is a garment I can no longer wear.”
The Book
A Poetic Spell Book of Presence
Everything Is Fleeting is a collection of poems about love, ancestry, longing, loss, wonder, and the fleeting nature of being human.
Written across continents, seasons, relationships, and versions of the self, these poems trace the quiet transformations that shape a life. They move through inherited stories, first loves, heartbreaks, family rituals, departures, returns, and the moments that arrive unannounced yet alter us forever.
Part poetry collection, part companion, part invocation, Everything Is Fleeting is a poetic spell book of presence: an invitation to return to what is here, to honor what has been, and to soften your grip on what was never meant to stay.
At its heart, this is a book about impermanence. About learning to hold life with open hands. About discovering that what disappears often leaves behind its own kind of wisdom.
