Fidem

‘“Do you not care about me?” It is a phrase that wounds and unleashes storms in our hearts.‘
~Pope Francis, 27 March 2020, Urbi et Orbi, Rome

But the Lord cares, we all care for each other. It is a time to be silent and reflect.
The world will never be the same once we pass through this bleak path.
Human behaviour will be forever changed—we will look back on this traumatic moment in the history of man and recall where we were, what we did, who we were with, and how we coped.

Tubig (Water)


Ang tubig ay simbolo ng damdamin. Water represents emotions. 
Nahihirapan ako matulog. I have trouble sleeping.

Intense circumstances. 
Looking at the image, one would think—“ah, surfing.”
I just want to dump the contents of a giant instant coffee jar on the ocean.
Stir it with a giant spoon.
Sip, float, introspect, sip, float, introspect.

vita brevis ergo factum

Cannot invest and waste finite energy and thinking time on unrewarding exertions hypothetically analogous to unilateral nuclear disarmament. Finito. Ayoko na. Save humankind, save the world, isolate, *snip snip* burdensome and exhausting aspects, manifest only real things, #StayAtHomeSaveLives #PhysicalDistancingForLiberation #ProtectYourThoraxGetOffTheGrid #BringBackYourPower
This CamelCase hashtag trend is the new haiku.

Wake up, wake up, wash your face!



Unprecedented circumstances (#covid19) compel us to laser focus on the most important aspects of our lives. Instantly, the frivolous things, events, or interactions become blurred and the more ordinary yet essential things, events, or interactions become ever more hi-resolution. Thank you Lord and all the powers that be, for that much needed splash of clarity---to wash away the disillusionment. Will towel dry my consciousness, discern, and march to the beat of my own snare.
