Coffee Musings Under the Maple Tree

(Part 23)

Reflections of Dharmazeus

 

If only I could stop the waves from rushing to the shore just so that yesterday becomes today and that tomorrow as we dreamed becomes now, then my memories shall only be the ones with smiles and not with tears…and my heart will only beat about love at the thought of you, my Dear.

 

While it looks good and fascinating to watch the waves rush to and from the shore, love and affection shouldn’t work that way. True love is like a stream of water – murky and muddy sometimes but it flows continuously upstream or downstream until it clears like a sparkling crystal and joins into the vastness of the seas.

 

We had the chance. We did not nourish it well enough to last. If only you did not walk away and phased with me a bit more. But the past is all gone. Even memories erased, lessons learned, tears shed have dried up. Another chance? Maybe. Afterall, true love never dies but only fades away when lovers refuse to forgive each other. Forgive to love again.

 

Kailan kaya muling makakapiling kahit sumandali. Marahil sa isang iglap, isang salita muling mamumutawi. Hihintaying muling marinig hudyat ng pagbabalik ng damdaming sa iyo, Mahal, tinatanging iniibig.

 

Love is not a game. If you treat it as such, you might get burnt and be wounded. The healing lasts for quite a while and leaves a scar that will remain forever … a painful reminder of a lost chance that may never come back again. Value the one who loves you very dearly. There’s no one else who will love you the way he does.

 


Ours was a love story that never was. It was in my heart but apparently not in yours. In my mind it was real but in you it was just a wisp of a fantasy. My spirit was possessed by you, but your soul was owned by someone else. I was a fool but not anymore. Still, I do not regret that once I loved you.

 

With another chance comes forgiveness. And forgiveness comes out of deep love. Loving never ends. It pauses a bit, yes. But if it is indeed true and sincere, love remains.

 

It’s 3 in the morning. I am awake remembering you, Lasa. May God who is All-Knowing and All-Loving covers you with his mantle of wisdom and the gift to forgive.

 

I lost my first love when cancer overpowered him. I loved again but he walked away for reasons I didn’t know why. I am in love again and my heart smiles once more. It manifests itself in various ways at different times. Love always wins.

 

Good morning, Mahal. As always when dawn comes and I wake up, I whisper a prayer for God’s protection and guidance to us on this day and all the days of our life. Know that I love you more today than yesterday. I love you.

 

As the sun sets on the horizon, so are all my worries of the day thrown out onto the sea to be swept by the waves away from the shore. And I go to bed to sleep in deep slumber under God’s protection and love. The new dawn brings about an invigorated spirit to face the challenges of a new day. Goodnight.

 

It all started with a simple “Hello” and a smile. A no-label relationship began to bloom. It was a very promising partnership that was significantly hopeful. Then a distant silence prevailed. An inexplicable and deafening silence resulted to a disturbing “goodbye.” Life has never been the same since then.

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
