i am about to finish the book that made me wonder who gabriel garcia marquez is.

i am not sure if i am too easily absorbed and bored at the same time.... but i am glad i finally got down to doing just that: reading garcia's one hundred years of solitude.... such vision!


(but i would like the whole library of tolkien)

ay books

the alchemist by paolo coelho

mmmm a cross between "the little Prince" and "the greatest salesman in the world"
a feel-good read. it was an encounter for which i am so grateful. from naia to dipolog airport, down to the roads going south...

meet brandy

i met brandy, tonka and sito yesterday.

brandy is a sealion
tonka a false whaleshark
sito, a dolphin

i wanted to play with the dolphin
actually, ride on one.
i got that wish yesteday!

:) my arms are still niggling...but
hey, how many times do we get
to frolick on open sea with cetaceans?

running
after

catching

it is
the same

door

heal me Lord that I may be whole
save me that i may be saved
for it is you
whom i praise.

heart2heart

born one year,
seven months
one week
after
my own
coming.
talking about
common pains
walking that distance
of years
not seeing
yet feeling
..not much has changed...

come ignacio

it IS important
to experience
the hopelessness
and utter
nakedness
of the
cross

in order to
understand
how it is
to follow
CHRIST.

My God,
open myself
to Be
YOU.
Amen.

wondering is endless
to me
whose
questions
come by
the dozens
before the
words
get formed
on my lips.

ay.
words
fail me.

i wish

love is patient
love is kind,
it is not jealous
love is not pompous.
it is not inflated.
it is not RUDE.
it is not QUICK TEMPERED.
it rejoices in the TRUTH.

Wisdom 15:3
"For to know you well is complete justice,
and to know your might is the root of immortality."

this helps me.

" all the ways of a man may be right in his own eyes,
but it is the Lord who proves hearts." proverbs 21:2

"Many are the plans in a man's heart,
but it the decision of the Lord that endures..." Proverbs 19:21
