Come to think of it, when have you ever seen the following?
A square leaf
A square fruit
A square tree
A square raindrop

Failed expectations
What ails your heart, O, woman
and what ails your heart, O, man
expectations
that could not be met
needs that could not be satisfied
Did you think that by finding each other,
you could claim back your joy
in the garden of eden?
Did you think that by having found
each other,
you could reunite with your lost half
and finally be complete?
Nay, I say unto you,
for it is not each other that you have lost in the garden
and it is not each half that could
complete your empty soul
It is God’s presence that you have lost
and it is only in God
where you can find your bliss
once more.

Where Do We Find Confidence?
How beautiful must you be
so you can see yourself as beautiful?
How smart must you be
so you find the confidence to say
that you have it in you
to succeed
How much studies must you undertake
how many certificates and titles must you acquire
how many languages
how many skills
how excellent
how fast
and how creative
so you can find the security to say
that in this fast
and changing world
you are doing well
and that you are at par
with the rest
who are trying so hard
as you do
trying to please
trying to excel
trying to be the very best
where the very best
could not be found
among those who try
to be the best.
It is never enough
It never will be enough
for true confidence
could not be found
in the exaltation of the self
or in the perfection we desire
but which eludes us the more
the more we try to grasp it
Only in Jesus
do we find rest
only in Him
do we find
the strength
the purpose
and the power
to accomplish
all things
for the perfect good
of all.
We’ve heard how life seemed so abundant in all things, in sunshine, in water, in the air we breathe. Everything is there for the taking, and the only thing left for us is to claim them. Yet how is it the many of us still lack in many things, particularly in material wealth? If the earth never lacks in water, why is it that we never seem to have even a small drop of it at times?

Hurried world
As I make my way to office each day, I notice how people seem to be so hurried trying to fetch a cab or make it aboard the train. It’s funny at times coz you rarely see people look back or look up. People only move straight on, not noticing anything else but the one thing on their mind, which more often than not, is just to be able to get that ride to work. I feel weird when I sometimes stop and look up at the wonderful morning sky or when Ilook back and see the nice view of the city.
I wish people can set aside allowances to their activities rather than always being in such a hurry, never having any minute to lose even if just to be able to breathe, to smile, or to be more patient in waiting in line for the next bus to arrive.
