Finally the body’s yearning over
Breaths deep and slow
Muscles lose knots of tension
Heart’s a revved up engine
In this solitary quest for calm
Amid tempestuous times
Peace-loving souls must rest
Against all odds
If they are to last
Until the last stretch.
Finally was able to try surfing–the real stuff–at no less than the famed Cloud 9 of Siargao. Feeling was liberating riding waves except that I had great diffficulty maneuvering the board with my feet. Hoping another opportunity to surf presents itself again in the near future. Balancing with the board is not that easy to achieve.
Just like my life now. Different priorities and opportunities. Just hoping everything will turn out well for me in the end.
Still waters blue and green in the horizon
Waves sleep as the mind unfolds
Goes on and on
Too stressed out to sleep deep and have a dream for a very long time already.
Lately, I’ve had two dreams.
Last week: Trying to get off an airplane about to crash and burn. I wonder how I managed to escape…
Last night: Taking a train to HongKong, wondering why I left my Hon, and clicking the shutter button of my camera without an image being developed. This was a dream that was sooo real. Upon waking up, I instantly figured that the strange train bound to HK doesn’t exist, that I have plans of going there with my Hon but it’s impossible that I wouldn’t tag her along with me, and my camera had charged battery but why wouldn’t it work..
One in black and white, the other in vivid colors. Don’t know what’s with color and dreams; but I think both images of transport–plane and train–signify my journey in life. Just hoping and praying that I am traveling in the right direction.
Countdown to the biggest day of our lives starts today. 365 days from now, a new life begins. Feeling is both tense and exhilarating. 12+ long years of being together, one special day, and an infinite forever…
Come hell or high water
We will be there
No sound of thunder
Will deafen our ear
No fury of wind
Will bend our will.
From the fires of the earth
We will not falter
To the motions down under
We will not quiver.
Be it from High Above
Or brought by men of might
Devoid of heart for humanity
We will deliver.
To serve the affected,
The frail and vulnerable,
In hinterlands and far seas,
To where our hands can reach.
Amidst the clouds of dark
We will see the light.
We will conquer.
We will win
Seizing opportunity in
Every adversity
All for His glory.
Sometimes spontaneity brings out
the best in us
Jitters, pounding heart, racing thoughts
make us look smart, composed
when we talk, reason, make excuses
despite the turmoil growing inside
of us hiding the ugly essentials
those which are truly invisible to prying eyes.
Some things you wait for
but don’t come.
Just when the weather bureau announces
that the lady storm will be this year’s
queen of winds and waves to embattle
the sun and seas,
she doesn’t come.
The moment comes when least
expected, but she won’t
even if you wait til eternity…
Instincts really rule us.
