Coffee Musings Under the Maple Tree

(Part 30)

Reflections of Dharmazeus

 

My day wouldn’t commence without a GOOD MORNING to you and from you.

And it will not be complete without an I LOVE YOU to you and from you.

And will not be complete without a GOODNIGHT to you and from you.

 

While meeting people brings joy to our hearts, not all of them stays. Some have to leave for reasons we may not know.  What matters most is we met them, that our lives touched one another, and we shared awesome memories. That at some point in our lives, we have loved. We’ll keep them in our hearts and cherish their memories.

 

True love is never lost. It remains in one’s heart though not destined to become a reality. But, make no mistake, the feeling was real.

 

A new day has begun, a new beginning is at hand. Arise, my beloved, kiss the day, embrace every opportunity, hug all promises of a new hope, shower the world with your smile, captivate every heart with the love that only comes from someone who is loved and loving.

 

We start our day with a freshly brewed coffee with the hope that it’ll perk up our day for a better tomorrow. Just for now, at least, don’t think of the morrow and instead just enjoy the day and try to make the now a better one than yesterday. Live the now. Enjoy your coffee.

 

Rainy days or sunny days, nothing else do I want to do but cuddle with you. Snowy nights or windy, no one else do I want to be but only with you. All I think of in my waking hours, and all I dream of in my sleep, is the love that we give each other and the life that we share.

 

If a person can leave you so easily, that person never meant to love you but only to use you or something else. The one who stays despite the ups and downs in your relationship is the one who truly cares for you and even be the one who sincerely loves you.

 

For coffee-lovers, coffee is so significant that it does not only perk up the day, but it also serves as a nightcap. The day begins with a cup of hot coffee and ends with another one. As a coffee-lover, I am a YOU-lover. My day begins and concludes with YOU.

 


As lullaby finds its rhyme

The birds sing their tune

The waves kiss the shore

The stars twinkle at night

My lips whisper your name

My mind thinks of you

My heart beats a phrase:

“I love you. I love you.”

No one else but you.

 

The sun shines

The birds fly

The flowers bloom

And spread their perfume

My love for you remains stronger

My feelings grow so much deeper.

I love you.

 

We can only move on and heal from the pain of the past if we leave our yesterday behind. Learn to forgive yourself and those who may have hurt you. Remain to be a loving person.

 

Forgive your past

Worry not about tomorrow.

Live the now.

Pray.

Smile

You are loved.

Only friends. The love of yesterday has evolved into a blooming friendship that is today. As for tomorrow, no one knows. Worry not of the future. Learn from the past. Enjoy what is today.

 

Are you afraid of ghosts? Why? Because when I’m gone, my memory will haunt you forever. Because no one else has loved you the way I did.

 

No amount of wine can make me forget the past nor numb the painful experience of that particular moment when you said that you didn’t love me, that you couldn’t love me. My heart bled. My heart died. My heart stopped loving.

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

Silence is Golden

  Silence is Golden (November 22, 2023) In a world of advance technology and science, amidst the popularity of the use of various social media, and in every nook and cranny of the metropolis, silence is indeed golden. Noise pollution has become an accepted norm of daily living, and continuous movements of people and things around has become the core of progress. More and more cities have become like a “city that never sleeps.” To rest and be quiet even for just a few minutes has become a luxury in man’s daily living.   The world’s three major religions – Christianity, Judaism, and Islam – have emphasized the value of silence in their Holy Books – the Bible, the Torah, the Quran, as well as noted scholars and teachers of different faiths have written and/or spoken about it. “God’s will for me is to live an honorable life that should silence ignorant people. I am free to live however I choose. I choose to be a Servant of the Living God which means that most often silence is golden.

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
