Letting go

September 17, 2010

As I go along from what was through what is and to what will be,
From all the dark days and nights through the shadows of light,
From forgetting the face of yesterday through recognizing today,
From learning to renounce through being certain of believing,
From faltering and beginning to fade through being and becoming strong,
From forgetting that I cannot through remembering that I can,
From saying goodbye through saying hello again,
From the bitterness and fatal past through the warrant of glorious present,
From an unknown tomorrow through a define promise of today…

Now, I finally found out
Letting go is opening the gates so I can embrace, I can receive, I can believe, I can smile, I can love.

Letting go is being prepared even while being scared with open arms empty just in case being becoming whatever being becomes. It is blooming to what is instead of what was; learning to renounce in order to believe; letting yesterday to go in order to receive tomorrow as seen from its yesterday.

So when tomorrow comes, I will be prepared of finding the equipoise of faith and doubt, of fast and slow, of bitter and sweet, of everything and nothing. God holds my hands. He knows my fate. He sees everything and knows everything. Everything in life really does happen for a reason: “God’s Reason”.

-inspired by a line from MOMAY (teleserye): “Ang pamamaalam ay isang pangako, pangakong magkakasama habang buhay”.

Fixing the eyes

So their midnight conversation ended with an exchange of "good night." And there my heart, broken into shattered pieces. In an instant. At the most untimely time.  I didn't know where on this world had I drawn the courage to endure reading as each message kept on popping up as they recalled their past when I could have just closed my laptop right away so as not to let the piercing pain get through.  But I silently endured it up to their very last words while my heart was ruthlessly ripped away leaving it to smithereens.  I could have just flare-up in anger because silence was not my nature. To keep my mouth shut was never my kind. But, right at that moment, that voice, though a whisper compared to my slam-bang clatter, was a crystal clear I ought not to resist.  I knew it was God who tamed my waiting-to-explode emotions. He compelled me to be silent. To pour such dark cloud of despair to Him, even up to the rising of sun.  So what happen...

Mountain lessons

2 lessons Mt. Talinis imparted to me: 1. It pays to LOOK BACK When the whole group reached the outpost after 4 hours of hiking up and down, over rocks, across streams and swamps, they decided to settle there. However, Me and my classmate (bro Kyle Windsor) thought of attempting to continue the trail and hike all the way up to have a glimpse of the lake and eventually summit Mt. Talinis. Compared to what we've gone through from the bottom to outpost, the trail from that point to up was far difficult and challenging because the path gets too tricky. Your moves have to be cautioned according to the ascending climb and indeed it was no easy feat. My body especially my legs begun to ache. That was the time when the seemingly competition was between me and the one inside my head. "I'm not going to make it. I'm not strong enough." On the way up, it was so easy to give in to these anxiety demons and just stop the whole track. How I have overcome the mental chorus...

Ripple effect

Sometimes, all it takes is a heart that does not measure But only knows how to willingly give. That way, perhaps, The world can hear a perfect symphony of peace. Sometimes, all it takes is a mind that does not settle at boundaries But courageously dives into the deep waters, plunging into it, And discovering real treasures only found in the littlest of things. That way, perhaps, The world can know simplicity. Sometimes, all it takes is an eye that does not judge But rather looks behind the physical that reveals a humble beauty ready to sprinkle the light that will shine above the rest. That way, perhaps, The world can realize how beautifully created it was. Sometimes, all it takes is an ear that does not just hear But earnestly listens to what the lips plead. That way, perhaps, The world can withstand pain. Sometimes, all it takes is a mouth that does not carelessly reject And unwittingly use the most scathing words But rather speaks for...
