Woven Together, "Ecce Ancilla Domii"

From north and south

to east and west

in directions never traversed

Ecce Ancilla Domini.

Varied cultures
and yet differences

draw us together

Ecce Ancilla Domini.

Faith integrating
wholeness and fullness

of God’s mystery

Ecce Ancilla Domini.

Coming together

woven together

into one fabric

Ecce Ancilla Domini.

Four White Birds

I waited and waited
     till you finally appeared
     in the form of four white birds
     flying into the direction of the north.

You all appeared
     as I wished to tell me
     I'm alright and you're alright
     where you are and are all together.

Thank you, you clarified my doubts
     my guilt of being in here
     that you never knew
     now I know you knew.

You blessed me and I am happy
     there is no distance between us
     I only need to call you
     and you'll be there for me.

Staying on

Staying on the path
of never giving up
is a state of
keeping our hope alive.

Staying on the power
that consumes the darkness
to give way
to each morning's light.

Staying on the goodness
of each person
I meet and know
is an act of love.

A chance to change

When I am wrong in my belief

and get settled with it

somethings does not sit right well.

When I pretend to be right

without necessary dialogue nor investigation

my judgment becomes lopsided.

It takes humility to see and know

we commit mistakes and can be bad

but this gives us chance to change.

Dis-ease

A time to heal
and get back to wholeness
once dis-ease disturbs the system
of our human bodies.


It's time to dialogue and listen
and care for our bodies
that need a gentle touch
and a close attention.

Holy Week

Is a time of reflection
withdrawal from mundane things
that help us focus
to things important to us.

Is a time to reclaim
our roots in our faith
that would draw us
to the source of being.


Is  a time of respite
from the usual activities
to create new energies
to sustain us through.

Is a time to renew
our ways of loving
professing our faith
to the God of life.

Changes, newness and learning

Who says I need to change?
changing attitude, changing one's outlook
create changes in my perception
about myself, others and the world.

Newness, so what is new?
everyday breaks the old ways
changes the old cells in me
to become a new me.

Learning, what are we learning?
new things about us and others
never a dull moment in us
to watch us growing graciously.

When the colors are gone....

When the colors are gone
and nothing can be retrieved
I blow bubbles and watch
as they reach the sky.

May my heart reaches yours

As distance affects the intimacy
in any human relationship
may my heart reaches yours.

May my heart reaches yours
even with the uninsurance
you still miss me.

When my heart reaches yours
then God must be there
connecting hearts drifting apart.

Life is Simple

As I always believe
life is simple but
living in a complex web
dealing may not be simple.

Life can be designed
but living the design
inch by inch, I plan
gets the rough and trimming.

Life is simply lived
a minute a day
without much complex thinking
I simply, let live.

When our heart's dream come alive

When my heart's dream come alive
I shower it with positive thinking
good will and patient endurance.

When my heart's dream come alive
I move on but never look back
thank the past for what's worth.



When my heart's dream come alive
what and who surround me now
its beauty reveals and its fragrance smells.

Failures is for Learning

When I failed myself in many ways
others failed in their expectations of me
failures after failures do not lessen my dignity
this becomes a source of learning.

Failures can create newness in the self
a new way to communicate and to think
failures make one improve one's manners
and be more acceptable of one's limits.

Slowing Down

From a fast pace to slowing down

gives me a conscious response

to be resolute in my desire

not to let down but be focused.

To watch my own movements

be conscious of my mind

when I direct my body's response

not to let down but be focused.

Buenas noches

Son buenas las noches
cuando siento la paz
aunque algunos sentimientos
me dejan en pensándolos.


Me quitan todas razones
cuando cerro los ojos
y aparecen las estrellas
illuminando el cielo obscuro.

Las noches son buenas
me quitan los sueños
me dan mucho descanso
para enfrentar un nuevo dia.

Buenos Días

Son los buenos días que yo celebro

muchas gracias a todas las personas

que me apoyaron a vivir mas

con mejor animo, cariño y agradecimiento.

Lo agradezco mucho el Dios 

que me acompaña tanto

en el camino que yo escojo

con tanta fe me da su fuerza.

Todos los días son buenos

el sol sale para todos nosotros

hago mi esfuerzo de vivir el día

como será, como sea y como es.

What would it be like to live in the 21st Century?

I felt rattled as I face the question

I collected my great ideas and learnings

to see the challenges of the century  

a reality that would depend on us.

How do we respond to our future?

Animals have evolved to the present condition

old trees die to give birth to a new one

humans are capable of following the suit.

Learning and re-learnings from our past

and moving it forward to the future

to generate new and adaptable learnings

might create a new specie of human beings.

A different level of consciousness and action

we ought to develop and create in us

for our present situation and realities

we create the future in the 21st century.

As the new year begins

As the new year begins
I set my foot
on the holy ground of being
refrained not to perceive
things I would like to happen.

I in my conscious state
would allow to evolve
events, people and all beings
come around the year
and let it be.

Let it come, let go
let the universe come to fore
may the naturality in beings
and being in the becoming
fill my heart and my soul.
