Langgam na Hinahanap ang Naamoy na Candy

Para sa mga tinatamad nang magtrabaho this early, routinary na lang ba? Nasaan naman ang fulfillment?

Now, God is a road. And we, pilgrims.

Pilgrim's Theme (Greater Scheme Of Things)
Music by: Manoling Francisco, SJ Lyrics by: Johnny Go, SJ
Arrangement: Paulo K Tirol Soloist: Julius Guevara

Tired of weaving dreams too loose for me to wear

Tired of watching clouds repeat their dance on air

Tired of getting tied to doing what's required

Is life a mere routine in the greater scheme of things?

Through with going through, one more day what's new?

Does my life still mean a thing in the greater scheme of things?

I think I'll follow the voice that calls within

Dance to the silent song it sings

I hope to find my place

So my life will fall in place

I know in time I'll find my place

In the greater scheme of things

Each must go his way but how can I decide,

Which path I should take, who will be my guide?

I need some kind of star to lead me somewhere far

To find a higher dream in the greater scheme of things

The road before me bends, I don't know what I'll find

Will I meet a friend or ghosts I've left behind?

Should I even be surprised that You're with me in disguise

For it's Your hand that I have seen in the greater scheme of things

I think I'll follow the voice that calls within

Dance to the silent song it sings

I hope to find my place

So my life will fall in place

I know in time I'll find my place

For Yours is the voice in my deepest dreams

You are the heart, the very heart of the greater scheme of things

Why don't we follow the voice that calls within?

Dance to the silent song it sings

I hope to find my place

So my life will fall in place

I know in time I'll find my place

There comes a time in everyone’s life when one has to choose between roads. Often it’s a choice between a road we already know too well, and one that’s much narrower, less familiar, bending beyond what your eyes can see. The thing is, you know you must choose—lest you remain a wanderer all your life and you simply run out of roads. Each one’s road is different. But all of us are born pilgrims: We are all meant to seek that one road that will lead us home. It’s not an easy task, but don’t be afraid. If you seek it, your road will find you. (Johnny Go, SJ)

Hindsight, Foresight, Insight.

Wala lang. Naalala ko lang yung napulot ko sa COA noon pa. (Haha parang ang tagal na.)

Hindi ko na nga alam kung tama pa yung pagka-gets ko pero for some purposes naghohold pa naman.

Hindsight: What you learn/ realize as you look back. Ala learn from experience.

Foresight: Realizations mo na makatutulong sa iyo moving forward, mga nakikita mong mangyayari in the future kaya naiisip mo na kung ano ang dapat gawin.

Insight: Wala lang. Insight mo sa ngayon? Maaari rin namang light bulb moment mo ngayon na maglead sa isang hindsight or foresight.

Naaalala ko rin yung comment ng Th151 teacher ko noon: In hindsight, you'll see how God was working through your dark moments. Something to that effect.

May nakita kasi akong langgam na hinahanap yung naaamoy niyang matamis na candy. Ang layo na kasi ng nilakad niya at kung anu-ano nang obstacle ang kanyang sinuong pero hindi pa rin niya nararating yung "goal" niya. Parang gusto ko itong i-cheer on para magpatuloy.

Most of the time ganon ako/ tayo. Siguro mahina tayo/ako sa insight. Kasi madalas umaaangal kung may mga dark moments (thank God walang super dark). Mahina ang response sa tawag ng proseso/ pagtubo na dahan-dahan. Or siguro, gaya nung langgam, maliit tayo compared s a greater scheme of things kaya parang ang tagal nung process, hindi na makayanan. Pero looking back, nalampasan din naman pala, thru hindsight, not bad after all.

Wala lang. I invite you to also consider having hindsights/ foresights more often. It helps, lalo na't uber liit nga naman natin kumpara sa greater scheme of things.

Pahinging Panalangin

O Diyos, salamat sa biyaya Mong pag-asa, pag-ibig at pananalig. Pag-asa upang patuloy kaming makipag-kapwa at maniwalang laging meron pa. Pag-ibig upang punuin ang aming sarili sa pamamagitan ng paghahandog nito sa iba. Pananalig upang mapagtantong lahat ng ito ay Pagkakatawang-tao at Pag-ibig ni Kristo para sa lahat sa pamamagitan namin. Amen.


Ang astig talaga ng pagtatalaban ng Pag-asa, Pag-ibig at Pananalig. Parang Banal na Santatlo.
