Four Year

It has been a struggle. Often the beginning has always been difficult. The true rewards of longitude is the essence it maintains.


Are you still there? Are we still us?


Every relationship requires certain sacrifices from each other. The will to understand and the capacity to accept are matters that only the heart can afford. Sometimes it is better not to rationalize what we feel but allow the dictate of our emotions. Let alone be drown by the ecstasy of what it is all about. Yet still reality reckons us. It is like lightning cutting across the dark wide sky flashing the truth it wanted to address. Time and again, we always heard the adage that mind is above the heart. We should never forget. We should always think what we feel.


Days have gone us by so quickly. Without realizing the passage of time, we came to a threshold of ourselves. We embraced each moment as if catapulting the pinnacle of the shared feelings to eternity. We are for each other. We are each other.


There may be questions lingering in our minds. There may be doubts and conflicts. Yet we still remain. Love is beyond those questions, those doubts and those conflicts. It is even beyond ourselves.


What we have is each other. And that suffices to hold on to what we have.


I love you. And the years will prove how much I truly have.

Panic

Today I felt so nervous. Only a week left and the regular course is on. Since assuming the post of course supervisor, I know I have been doing my best. But how good is my best? After preparing the course outline and successfully presented it to consultants and colleagues, I embarked on gathering the details of how the course will proceed. I kept constantly busy surfing the net for new ideas. Actually I fished a lot. There were so many things going on around the world. I would be very glad to share them with the participants. My notes, I think I have prepared my best notes. In fact, as I told Mr. Deva, the head of the training programme, that I intend to publish my materials in the future. So, how can I safeguard my lectures? Well, simply claim that it is copyrighted. That so! It took so much time writing a piece of the lecture. That's why, when I was looking at them after printing, I would tell myself that it is like writing an article for publication. I really did so much for a le...

Far You Maybe

Distance; I am always afraid of distance. Not that it gives me a scare or a fright but whenever I encounter it, it gives me a different indescribable feeling. In mathematics, when we talk about it, it involves time and rate. That means, when we talk of distance, we actually mean how much time has already lapsed and how fast has it gone by. Being at the other side from where you are now, being separated by time, being harassed by the lonely days that go by...matters not. Something will always remain the same. Something will always be just like the way they are. Like the flowers that beautifully bloom during the day. That however warm the sun shines in her petals, however harsh the beats of each rain drop, however lonely she can be in the midst of an empty green...and however she says goodbye to that beauty each time the night falls... she remains confident for a new day, trusting that each moment is another beginning. It is her opportunity to show what she has. The time that elapses mak...

Ash Wednesday

Today Lenten season begins. Together with the Filipino participants, I am going to attend Mass for the traditional ash-marking in the forehead. Since I am in a far away land, it is an opportunity for me to look back and reflect on how my life has been. I know I have a blessed life. I have been given so much. And I am thankful for all that come my way. There were good memories. There were sad memories even painful ones. But even the littlest detail of my life has been a lesson learned. When I picture the people who are always there for me in my mind, I just can't help but ask, have I been there for them ?In the process, there were those who came and left their marks behind yet there were those who came and left scars in my heart. Nevertheless, somewhere in my life, I have been me. I was touched. I was hurt. And nothing compares the pain of loneliness, of emptiness, of being ignored. As the season unfolds, let it be my resolve to look back and let go of the heavy burdens in my load. ...
