thanking God for this amazing...



what a day?

woke up cold and sleepy, but i gotta do what i do because i want to.
but when it comes to the day's itinerary in mind, i didn't mind.
i ended up doing what i've been meaning to do for a long time, to take my time.
twice i sought to acquire, and when i did, i never really had it.
and when i wanted to go, i got stuck, then led me to forego.
on my knees i struggled to feel, but how can that be if i am not open to unfill?

yet despite all these, i choose to let be,
to continue, and that God's hands I may see.
in the end, i end up thanking thee!

inspired by the poet, ee cummings,
his poem, that hits me, i didn't see coming!
thus, borrowing...

i thank you God for most this amazing
by E. E. Cummings
i thank You God for most this amazing
day:for the leaping greenly spirits of trees
and a blue true dream of sky;and for everything
wich is natural which is infinite which is yes

(i who have died am alive again today,
and this is the sun's birthday;this is the birth
day of life and love and wings:and of the gay
great happening illimitably earth)

how should tasting touching hearing seeing
breathing any-lifted from the no
of all nothing-human merely being
doubt unimaginable You?

(now the ears of my ears awake and
now the eyes of my eyes are opened)

independence

this is not in view of the upcoming holiday...
i'd just like to "pen" down my thoughts regarding this.

a drop of water may lose its identity as it joins the ocean, but never a man in society. he is born not for the development of society alone but for the development of himself (ambedkar).

the more independent a person is, the better he can influence others and his surroundings. he won't be lost in the society, but rather, he can transform it. society as the usual scapegoat, therefore, must never be blamed. overemphasis on our social nature often keeps us astray from ourselves. even Jesus taught us, "love your neighbor AS yourself" (mk 12:31). this is not just about measuring the love of others by the love of oneself. it is by knowing, growing in, and transforming ourselves that gives an effective connectedness to others. people who are more independent are more connected.

i may be a drop of water in the ocean, but a drop so distinct, and hopes to make a difference!

reconnecting...

now that i have finished my two-years of active apostolic experience, i commit myself again for a regular (that is up to me ) engagement of introspection, observation, commentary, and loud-thinking in the blogosphere! boy, i missed this so much!
