Winter Nocturne

Nakita ko sa tong flash na ito... Ganda... Muntik pa kong maiyak...

-----

Wishing on a dream that seems far off
Hoping it will come today
Into the starlit night
Foolish dreamers turn their gaze
Waiting on a shooting star
But
What if that star is not to come
Will their dreams fade to nothing
When the horizon darkens most
We all need to believe there is hope
Is an angel watching closely over me
Can there be a guiding light I've yet to see
I know my heart should guide me but
There's a hole within my soul
What will fill this emptiness inside of me
Am I to be satisfied without knowing
I wish then for a chance to see
Now all I need desperately
Is my star to come

Napag-isip Ako

"Ang totoo, inaabangan natin ang daraan at hindi ang darating. Kailanma'y hindi maaaring ipagkamali ang paghihintay sa pag-aabang. Hindi lamang dahil para sa aki'y mas may pananabik ang huli kaysa sa una ngunit dahil na rin sa mangyayari matapos ang dalawang gawain. Sapagkat natatapos ang paghihintay sa sandaling dumating na ang hinihintay, samantalang kapag dumaan na ang inaabangan, may pangako itong dala--na tangayin tayo sa isang bagong pook, iparinig sa atin ang isang bagong awitin at ipadama sa atin ang isang bagong pag-ibig. Samakatuwid, mas nararapat tayong magtiwala sa pangakong hatid ng bagong karanasan matapos ang pag-aabang at hindi lamang mapako sa kinatatayuan matapos dumating at manatili sa ating piling ang hinihintay."

On Waiting

Second only to suffering, waiting may be the greatest teacher and trainer in godliness, maturity and genuine spirituality most of us ever encounter. Waiting is not a passive exercise biding time while we engage in some sort of diversion. Waiting is not just what we have to do til we get what we hope for. It is part of the process of becoming what we hope for. It is a faith journey. Humility and hope are the essentials of waiting. But it is humility that makes hope possible. Until we are clear that it is God, not us, who is the master and we, not God, who are the servant, we will feel our rights have been violated whenever we are forced to wait. We will resent our waiting and find every rationalization to take matters into our own hands. In other words, we can’t hope in God until we have ceased to hope in ourselves.
