Coffee Musings Under the Maple Tree

(Part 22)

Reflections of Dharmazeus

 

That time you walked away after a long silence that I never understood why, I started to fly on my own with no particular destination in sight. Wondering where you’d been, thinking if I’d see you again. Tired and lonesome, I paused on my flight then I realized the pointlessness of the chase. If you did not want to be found nor be reached out to, no matter how I tried, I will never catch up to you nor find you. In my heart I heard a loud whisper: GOODBYE!

 

It is very painful to realize that I was not really as important to you as I thought I was because you used to say so more than once. Was I lied to? Or were you just being kind during those times? When honesty is blanketed by a lie, then a game is certainly played. And you played the game so well.

 

In sleep and in my waking hours, you alone keep my heartbeat with so much love and compassion. Sleep well and know that I love you very dearly. The distance may separate us for tonight but look out from your window and gaze up at the vast sky that unites us.

 

3 o’clock in the morning –

                   You

                   Prayer

                   Remembering

                   Forgive

                   Sabr

                   Hope

                   Love

 

A new day is upon us to care and to love more than yesterday. Each new day is a gift for us to be more loving and caring towards one another. The only reason for every morn is the opportunity to live a life responsive to God’s will – “LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS I LOVED YOU.”

 


We are not perfect. But when called upon, our family acts as one, cooperative, caring unit that each one can rely on. Our parents’ wish: that we remain one despite our diversity; we remain loving and caring towards one another despite our idiosyncrasies; we remain supportive of each other in the midst of our own concerns. We are FAMILY – Forever Affirming My I Love You.

 

I love you. How many times have I said those words to you? I lost count. Why? Because when I say, “I love you,” it means that you are my everything … the joy of my heart … the comfort of my soul … the wisdom of my mind. YOU ARE MY ALL.

 

I lay myself in bed. Only you, no one else, in my head. And in my heart, it’s you alone as I lull myself to sleep. Goodnight, my love. In my dreams I will be with you, no nightmare because of you. I love you.

 

I love you more today than yesterday. Tomorrow I will love you even more than today. My love for you grows always until I hear you say that you love me too. By then, our love for each other is all that matters.

 

One day you will miss the one person who truly loved and cared for you simply because you ignored him (worst was when you expressly rejected him) when all he wanted was to show his deep affection towards you.

 

Good morning, Mahal. Every morning as I wake up, I thank the Lord for the gift of a new day; a special gratitude for the gift of a special friend who loves me dearly. As I whisper a prayer of thanks, I send my hugs and kisses to you. May God always embrace you with His enormous grace. I love you, Mahal.

DELAYED “FLIGHT”: It’s All God’s Plan

  DELAYED “FLIGHT”: It’s All God’s Plan (January 3, 2024) Almost every Christmas season, DELAYED signs, and worst is Cancelled notice, have become a regular scenario in most, if not all, airports all over the world for both local and international flights. Just recently before Christmas, a good number of domestic flights were recorded in the Philippines that cause quite a lot of different reactions from passengers, mostly of anger and frustration. The stress that the passengers felt was simply indescribable. Imagine all the planning they make like – applying for leave from work; searching and booking for flights, bus rides, and/or sea travel; packing belongings to bring; buying “pasalubong” and gifts; and more things needed in their journey or vacation. In some cases, though, a feeling of resignation and frustrating acceptance were all some passengers expressed bearing the discomforts caused by the delays. Whether out of anger and frustration or resignation and acceptance, no

CALLED TO BE HEALERS TO ONE ANOTHER

  CALLED TO BE HEALERS TO ONE ANOTHER (January 26, 2024)   Reflection on the Gospel (Mark 1:29-39)   Question: Why did Peter deny knowing Jesus three times? Answer: Because Peter was so mad at Jesus for healing his other in-law.   Of course, that was only a joke. It was a joke revolving around the relationship between in-laws. Jesus healed the mother in-law of Peter from fever. The succeeding parts of the Gospel, Jesus continued with his ministry of healing – casting away demons, curing people from various illnesses and diseases, and many more. At the end of the day, Jesus came to a secluded place to pray and commune with His Father in heaven. Then immediately after dawn, Jesus begun his healing miracles and preaching.   We see, however, that at the end of the day, and even before the sun rises at dawn, Jesus come to a place to pray. Note that habit of Jesus – before and after a day’s activities, Jesus always find time to pray.   We may not be “healers” ourselve

  Coffee Musings Under the Maple Tree (Part 19) Reflections by Dharmazeus   Twin flames and deep connection are for real only if the parties concerned are true to themselves. Such that separation becomes only temporary and is meant to understand their individuality better so that when the right time comes to reunite, they’ll be more accepting of each other. Their love for one another becomes deeper and more sublime.   Live the now. Tomorrow never comes, but it offers hope an new beginnings. Yesterday is over, let the memories remain all but reminders of lessons learned.   If one truly loves, silence couldn’t last too long. For a heart who cares and loves dearly will always reach out to the beloved even if the heart still bleeds from the wounds of yesterday.   The heart reaches out and continues to love.   If you feel tired of loving someone, take a pause. Sometimes you might need to walk away. Or distance yourself. Like the waves off the shore, come back and rea
