I've got my feet wet

A very unexpected trip. Full of surprises, sense and, of course, non-sense.

I've got my feet and enjoyed every moment that God gave me.

It started with a trip to the mountain to clean up other peoples messes. I should have taken pictures of the huge amounts of trash that tourists leave at the great mountain of Banahaw.

The call to be earth's guardian became more clear to me. The call to be someone with purpose.

It was a good to mark the start of the end of the semester with something that has meaning. Well, for me anyways. Some were uneasy. Feeling the vivid differences of the reality from the expected. I couldn't blame them. Most of the time, we only hear the things that we wanted to hear.

Like for example.

When she said: First we will go to the mountain to participate in a clean-up, and then we will go to the beach and to a very beautiful resort.

He'll only here: Beach, Resort.

One of the many complexities of human nature.

When she said: I don't want anything serious right now.

She really meant: I just haven't found the person that I want to be serious with.

When I said: I am OK. I don't need her.

What I really meant is:

But the trip eventually came to the real fun part. The part full of nonsense with a little bit of sense. The orange bands represent freedom. Freedom to not care about the real world for a while. Freedom to dream, even if just for a little while.

ORANGE BANDS OF FREEDOM!

Beer became the main social lubricant. A lot of good stories and points-of-views were shared. Some forcefully.

The point was not to get wasted. It was never the point. And, never will be the point. The skillful exchange of words is enough. The enjoyment of one's company is enough. Enjoying the life's moments was enough.

These are the VACATIONEERS (without me)

The plan was simple.

Enjoy what is given to you.

This is what our lives should be.

Enjoy what is given to you by life.

This is what our lives should portray.

Enjoy what is given to you by God.

Me: Enjoying life's miracles.



Our life is a gift. It is a privilege. It is limited.

Use yours wisely.

when was the last time you had...

..a real conversation with your God?

There are inevitable technicalities that many seem to focus
on..

Technicalities that separate faiths..
Technicalities that forbade..
Technicalities that are always there..
Technicalities, technicalities.. well I don't really care..

But they are there..

I am sorry.

I just want to get that off my mind and heart. I have been in a stream of busy weeks and several requirements. Still my God stayed true to his word. It is always me forgetting to do my end.

It is funny. When we are doing good. Meaning, we are happy with are lives and everything is a-OK. Because that is what He promised for us. We tend to neglect him. Or maybe it is just me.

It is like when he is doing his job is when we don't do ours.


Well. The semester is almost up. I want it to be over. It will be over tomorrow.

After a semester of academic stress. I hope to again get real close to Him soon.


Just a quick thought before I go back to studying.

"The bottom line of faith is Love.
You can never go wrong with Love."
