Food for Thought

By keeping our sadness and pain on the inside, we are not making it go away...In essence, we are prolonging the agonizing journey.

~ Sonia Ricotti (Author of Unsinkable)

A Poem for a Dear Friend

Many people aren't saints.

Many have left footprints that are ugly stains.

But your footprints are treasures that I have gained.

Many people are thorns, causing me great pain.

But you are a rare jewel, for you are such a saint.

P/s: Writing poems is not something that I am good at.:( If you enjoy reading poems, you may want to check out a friend's blog at http://myincrediblelord.blogspot.com/ or a fellow blogger's blog at http://marcheleo77.blogspot.com/.

Dare to Dream

Sometimes pain can only be felt and no words or language can adequately give it shape...and silence in its presence is the only fitting companion.

~~Gracia Wiarda (in a book entitled "Labyrinth of Therapeutic Encounters. Collected Essays on Counselling & Psychotherapy")

I agree absolutely. Sometimes all a counsellor ever needs to do is being silent in the presence of a client who is grieving or experiencing some kind of pain.

I am learning to love my enemy. It is not something easy for me but I am beginning to realise that as long as I am prepared to let go of any pain, etc inflicted by my enemy, I can still love him/her. Praise God! :)

Just in case some of you think that my life has been a bed of roses so far and that's why I seem to be so optimistic about the year 2010, I must tell you that it's not true. If you get to hear my songs, you'll have an idea of what my life had been like prior to 2009. And because of the intensity and the prolongation of the pain that I'd gone through in the past, that's why I want my music and my blog to inspire hope and courage. :)
