The Same Weng I Used to Love

Standing still on the seashore, sand was on the ground,
Gazing heavenward, purple sky is watching my eyes;
Waves are singing, songs of lonely lullabies,
I knew it then, sun is setting down…

Light and darkness are catching their breath,
Yet, is on its way back home;
Cool breeze touches my skin, gentle as it goes on and on,
For the golden sunrays found a place to rest…

Do stars and moon would bring joy to me,
Whose happiness wanders under the glistening Sun?
Can they paint the face of the woman I love?
That would bring beauty to a dark color hovers the sky…

But when and when this long waiting would end?
The long night of so much pain I suffer;
Years have to be counted for that new morning ahead,
Offers tomorrow that is not of the past…

But still nature has taken its own course,
Of sun and moon traveling here and there;
The dawn has not resembling though,
I will stay awake ‘till I reach so…

No worries would I become,
For I know it brings beauty on my palm;
Though yesterday wasn’t that of the future,
But happy I might be for having the woman of the past…

Rise new sun from the east,
Arise man for your appease;
A new day will be born from the mountain peak,
Bringing fresh dew falls from the trees…

Would a man be happy with this new day?
This infant not of his known;
Yet as he grows old and old,
He carries the man out from his loads…

Woman stay where you are,
If not a lover …a friend you may become;
For this I am more than willing to endure,
Much pain for the love I care…

Countless nights and days may pass,
Or even years might bring us apart;
But you will remain forever in my heart,
The same Weng I used to love…

Blessed Pope John Paul II

“Santo Subito!” (Saint Now!)This was the loud cry of the people at the funeral of the late Pope John Paul II last April 8, 2005 6 days after his death on April 2. Six years later, Pope John Paul II is beatified - the third of the four steps to sainthood. The First step is the initial investigation of the person's life after he/she is considered for sainthood. It will be in the Diocesan level. After being confirmed, the Vatican will acknowledge a "Nihil Obstat." A Latin for "nothing hinders." In this stage, the person is called "the Servant of God." The second step is the establishing of the heroic act of the person. This will be led by a Postulator who coordinates the causes for beatification or canonization through the judicial processes which includes conducting thorough investigations into the life of the candidate, his works (writings) and deeds. It will be presented to the Congregation for the Causes of Saints in Rome. In this stage, the person is

WHY US LORD?: A Reflection On The Typhoon Yolanda Calamity.

With the recent Yolanda typhoon calamity, one question stands out - "Why?" Why do we have to suffer like this? Why the death of my beloved ones? Why us Lord? Why…? Why…? Why…? I will not attempt to know how these victims of calamity formulated their questions because I was not there when the typhoon strike nor try to answer their question because I’m not God. I would rather see the process of communication between a God and His people. Pope Francis encouraged us to ask why to God. He simply explains how this question would draw God’s attention to his children. He likened the situation to a child asking his parents about almost anything with a “why”. The pope said "the child does not wait for an answer from his father or mother." rather the child will add-up more and will never stops asking and asking. This is one way of seeking attention from his/her parents – and with our brothers and sisters who were affected by the recent typhoon, an attention from God.

A New Open Space

Image
i want to explore things in writing but then my old blog name "Seminary life," doesn't allow me to do such. Since i am a seminarian, it would be unthinkable if i write something that do favors about Atheism, or some critics about the dogma of the church or perhaps my appreciation about some concepts in communism and the like. I can actually write about it but amvibalence might dwell on the minds of te reader. I decided to change it. I was thinking then of a new name for my blog, and still would have a taste of the Carmelite tradition and Spirituality. I came up with the words "Open Space." And where did i get this name? I copied and pasted an article here and this explains what Open Space is for the Carmelites. (I guess it is ok to Arie Trum if i copied this in my blog...anyway, the copyright belongs to the Carmelite Institute) SOME REFLECTIONS BY THE ARTIST ARIE TRUM In the early spring of 1992 one of my best friends Kees Waaijman, a Dutch Car
