Going Back To Nature

2 months have gone since my last entry. My schedule had been really hectic especially towards end of the year when many things have to be finalized at school. There were times I didn't even open my laptop for days except for keying in some information. So, now I would just like to unwind a little and bring myself back to nature. Here I am again at my family house, taking some moments at my mom's little garden. It's end of the year school break and I would like to make sure that I'm using my time well and if possible without regretting later.

Imperfections

I know it's just unfair to leave my 'vacation home' here empty when friends are asking why is the silence. Well, when I have too much to say, often I'm left with having not enough time to tell things out. Besides, this kind of perfection inside me is often telling me to delay and delay ... which is not good at all. 

Whatever it is, we should accept our imperfections even in words and sayings ... as long as you understand what they mean. So, here I am again ... with all my imperfections and what I am.

Freedom

It’s not that I have abandoned this blog but finally I just have to say that life is demanding so much of my time and energy – that for now this will be like a vacation home for me to sit and relax whenever I have the time – hoping to come back here more often.

Life does have so much to say – as we deal with works, daily chores, relationships and other life demands. 

Honestly, as I look at the clock ticking, my life is sped up and I’m breathless - as if I’m trying to catch and grab something, not to let it go.  Oh well! It’s either we grow old or die young – the only option is to move on gracefully. It doesn’t matter where we stop. 

The beauty of life is still there and it will be such a waste to let time pass just like that without looking at the wonderful things happening around us. 

I would like to have that joy and peace of mingling myself with what Mother Nature has given us – without thinking so much of rules and regulations – but only freedom which includes opportunities to learn from mistakes and failures.  

Yes, FREEDOM is the ultimate gift that each of us would like to have - which means time and space that we can use to the fullest and to the best of our being.  On the other hand, freedom has to be governed by the Rule of Love so that there will be peace and harmony within and around us.

Life Here


It's so unbelievable that more than a month has gone. Well, life hasn't been really that smooth here in this place - with me being away from my life partner. Sometimes or perhaps all the times, we do have to bear with circumstances and consequences of life. But again, we'll survive if we strive to listen to the right voice in our hearts. To summarize, here are what happened throughout those weeks ...

We had been shocked by the news that our land had been invaded. Too bad to be true. Thank God things were under control. The world knows and I don't like to go in details but it was enough to hamper our aspirations for the future - which includes all our good intentions and wills.  Is this world a better place for us to live? We always say to make this world a better place for us and our future generations, but how??
 
I've been pondering a lot these while. As we strive to have a system here and there - within our own self, home, workplace and anywhere we are - a system which tells us to be always on the safe track, we begin to live as if someone is pressing a button in our life so that we move where it wants us to go .... So, this is it ... no wonder we have sorts of headache, stomachache, heartache, ... etc and heartbreak too.

How to live right then? 

No one lives without the Heart. Even if someone was born without limbs but has a 'golden' heart, he still can live a good and right life. The Heart hears, speaks, sees, tastes, feels, ... 

What actually happened to the Hearts of so many - including mine?

I believe this is the question we need to ask ourselves allll time!

Every moment is a challenge to seek and know the truth about ourselves. It lies right there inside our own very heart ... you don't need the court to prove it. The end will prove it for a new beginning.

On May 5th, I did my responsibility for the country. Whatever it is within our incapability, we leave our nation and country in the hands of our God.
