THANK YOU

Gratitude flows deep from my heart
when I count my blessings
showered to me everyday.

Am a recipient of unexpected gifts
and people´s unfathomable goodness
shown to me everyday.

How can I not turn grateful
to the God, the font
of all our blessings?

IT´S JUST A GLIMPSE



The immensity of the world
as I stand before it
reminds me that I am a speck of a dust.

I just share a glimpse
of the reality in which all has
it is a fallacy to overpower others.

MAY MY SPIRIT BE GLAD

May my spirit be glad
as I breathe in, breathe out
the gushing forth of energy
into my hands and feet.
May my spirit be glad
as I move my body
take the right and left steps
to complete the day´s journey.

May my spirit be glad
as I collect and relish
the moments of the day
may my spirit be glad!

DESIRE

To desire is both positive and negative
Desire and endless desire 
to satisfy a need can be harmful
and desire as preference
draws you to become and be more.

As I make sense of my purpose
I acknowledge both desires
are present in me
awareness of one´s state
however, makes one value the right desire.

WHAT MATTERS MOST

So long as I am in congruence
with what I believe in
with what I stand for
with what holds true for me
then the universe revolves
continues to be a place
of peace, harmony and growth.


What matters most and is divine
are the things that maybe
... are invisible to the eyes
the ¨Little Prince¨ french novel
¨is a thought-provoking
allegory of human condition¨
this is the crux of the matter.

COMPASSION

Freedom can be achieved
when we fully comprehend
our self and our humanity.

There is no shortcut
everything turns toward self
to grow compassion.

Compassion is listening
being with and united
with human daily struggle.

Compassion curbs tendencies
empathy over rationalization
generosity over self-indulgence.

Compassion is a heart
that reaches out
a heart speaking to the heart.

ROAD TO RECOVERY



Many countries of the world
are on its way to recovery
after the depression and storm
come the tranquility and order.

This is a call to nothingness
interdependence on other people
willingness to be helped
and openness to new horizons.

To be in state of helplessness
is a humbling experience
like a kid learning anew
to walk well on this earth.

MEMORIES


As the world is turning around in my life
I am into recognizing memories of my childhood
back to the roots where I was born
and into the people who imprinted my memories.


My friends, my bestfriend, my family
my relatives, we are like a big family
Cruz na Daan, a place where residents
converge as one, a united community.


map of Cruz Na Daan
Our families brought Cruz na Daan
to become a progressive barrio
commerce with and from neighboring communities
all converge to trade their commodities.


Memories of the childhood, never forgotten
considered to be the best and happiest
plays, laughters, studies, music and dances
all we made and celebrated together.

DELIGHTFUL

You tubes and funny lines
stories, feeds and photos
makes me feel delightful
tickles the sensitive part of me.

I am delighted with technology
human minds have developed
leads me to a delightful mood
days that I open my facebook.

Social networking with old friends
new generation of families
makes us closer, makes us united
what a delightful gift to us.

I wonder until where can technology
kind of continue to delight us
whatever way it meant to be
grab the delighted parts of us.

Morever, what delights me
is the swimming pool
where I relax my body 
and enjoy the water delightfully.

JUST TO LIVE IS HOLY



Just to be is a blessing.
Just to live is holy.
     - Rabbi Abraham Heschel

For two days now the words of the Rabbi
continue to shake my wandering mind
challenging me to put my feet on the ground
and stand tall with a smile.

O what a treat to start the day
with words to live by
Just to be is a blessing
just to live is holy.

Simply living and living simply
makes one capture the moment
of pure ecstasy, of joy
a bliss found in here.

RHYTHM

It was a sight and a feeling
I fondled in tenderness
gray and white clouds blanketed
the blue sea and lushy mountains
while seagulls do their acrobats
and empty chairs await
early joggers and walkers
at the causeway of Amador.



I leaped and jumped
at every beat of my heart
at the melody of the waves
the breeze of the morning
at every step I made
it was an effortless one
it was a rhythm created
I danced and swirled.

My spirit`s spiralling up
the music of life
the synchronized movements
cyclists`pedals and kicks
beat up and transform time
from slow to fast
from tightening to loosening up
and I am absorbed in time.

HABANG MAY BUHAY, MAY PAG-ASA!

Malinaw pa sa aking isipan
habang minamasdan ko ang kalawakan
nauulinigan ko pa`ng tinig
ng mga taong nagpapaalala
at may paalalang dulot sa `tin
kung paano harapin ang bukas.


Sabi nga ng mga nakakatanda
at yung mga may pinagkatandaan
habang nabubuhay, may pag-asa
sa aking napagdaanan
habang tayo ay may buhay
buhayin palagi ang pag-asa.
