in the journey from past to present,

love is lost like shadows after the sunset.

and memories fade like old photographs left out in the rain.

in the journey from past to present,

friends falter and fail and fall like leaves kissed by autumn.

and promises pale like starlight at the coming of the dawn.

~ song of azrael 90:303 — “in the journey from past to present (an aria in progress)”

another rainy day (“.) it may be perfect bed-weather for those who are warm and dry in the comforts of their beds and homes. but there are people who have lost their homes and who have been sleeping with only a thin sheet between their shivering bodies and the cold, hard concrete. let us remember them in our prayers. let us remember them through our actions. warm food and a used blanket will go a long way. let us also remember those who have lost their hearts and are currently living in luxury off the honest, hard-earned money of the people. awareness and vigilance go a long way. #quote #photo #overgram #qotd #zamboanga #zambocrisis #prayforzamboanga #prayforpeace #ayudazamboanga #ayudahanzamboanga #rebuildzambo (at the aerie)

may God grant me the grace of a positive outlook that i may see the glass as half-full instead of half-empty, perceive the silver lining each stormcloud, and behold the sunset as the precursor of another dawn. amen. (“,) #quote #ignatian #reflection #examen #ilaw #ItsAllGift (at the aerie)

i’ve always loved the #rain. but not now. i think of the people at the grandstand, evacuee and responder, and my heart breaks. (at Ateneo Peace and Culture Institute)

is this my dark night of the soul? (“.) may God grant me the grace of resiliency that i may dare to dive into waters deep and dark… trying to search for (recover?) something i know is important but have forgotten (or have never known?) what. i might lose myself. i might emerge stronger. i might emerge changed. or i might not emerge again. #quote #ignatian #reflection #examen #ilaw #resiliency #DarkNightOfTheSoul (at the aerie)

the time has come to talk of many things: rehabilitation, healing, and restoring relationships. but it seems that we (government, civil society, religious) still aren’t on the same page. sad. (“.) (at Marcian Business Hotel)
