He Who Began A Good Work In You

The past month has been one roller coaster ride. For some reason, it slowly came to a halt. And now I am struggling. My comfort comes with the thought that if I am struggling, it means that I am in the right direction. Going against your will is always hard. But I believe I am somehow getting there. Probing through the cloud of thrills, I am slowly getting a clear view of what is and what is not. Now I rest on God to complete His work in me.

Twisted

Separated by time,
We reached out to each other
Hoping to close the distance
And not feel so empty.

Without any word,
Our hands were slowly entwined
Blurring the spaces in between
If only for a moment we can be free.

Twisted mind, twisted hope,
Crazy and unpredictable as you are
Make haste in letting us see
How foolish we can be.

Our Deepest Fear

(I so love this poem by Marianne Williamson)

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frighten us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking, so that others won't feel insecure around you.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us;
It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone.
As we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fears, our presence automatically liberates others.

The Beach (Haiku)

Waves lapping the sand
And the gentle breeze blowing
My heart lay content

The sun warmed my cheeks
I gazed at the deep blue sea
Emerged in pure joy

The tide is rising
Beneath the cloudless blue sky
I run to the sea.

Haiku is a type of poem which originated from the Japanese. It has a special format of only 17 syllables and originally a 5-7-5 pattern. Along with the modern times, this pattern evolved into several combinations.

Writing a haiku never crossed my mind until it was given as an assignment to one of our students in the tutorial center. It looks intersting so I tried my hand in writing one. Well, its actually three but on the same topic. It is in the original format of 5-7-5 pattern. The topic I chose is the beach for the obvious reason that I love it!

New Beginnings

This is one of those many times in my life where changes have to be made. After a while of going through, doing, being, having... change has to be made. Especially when it is not working for me anymore and is sucking the blood out of me.

I have decided to move on from friendster blog to here. This move is timely since I am also undergoing a major overhaul. Well, I've learned that certain things cannot be done or changed at will. Timing is always essential. At any rate, I'm just happy that I still have time. And, I still have the luxury of starting anew and of making things right again. Right now, new beginnings just excite me because there is so much hope. Hope for the best to come! Cheers!
