Tugon sa "Pagmamalabis ng Pag-ibig" / Divine Availability

http://theclearingroom.blogspot.com/2008/02/tugon-sa-pagmamalabis-ng-pag-ibig-ni.html

He who is free is able to see. Tugon sa "Pagmamalabis ng Pag-ibig". Patrick Nogoy, S.J. Nandiyan Ka Na Naman. Nandiyan ka na naman. Tinutukso-tukso ang aking puso. Ilang ulit na bang iniiwasan ka. Sulyap ng iyong mata. Aking nadarama kahit malayo. Nahihirapan na lalapit-lapit pa. Isang ngiti mo lang at ako'y napapaamo. Yakapin mong minsan at muling magbabalik sa 'yo. Ang puso ko'y tanging iyo lamang. O heto na naman. Laging nananabik ang aking puso. Muling bumabalik sa iyong mga halik. Ngunit hindi niya ...

Past Loves as a History of Errors / Divine Availability

http://theclearingroom.blogspot.com/2015/07/past-loves-as-history-of-errors.html

He who is free is able to see. Past Loves as a History of Errors. When you have found stability in a relationship with a woman- which really means having committed to her- your present condition changes the color of your past relationships with other women. Right before your eyes: from a wild bet into the future or a leap into the unknown, she becomes a certainty. The one you have committed to becomes perfect for you because you realize she was the only one you fought for and stayed the course with so as...

The Fields of Amorsolo / Divine Availability

http://theclearingroom.blogspot.com/2015/04/the-fields-of-amorsolo.html

He who is free is able to see. The Fields of Amorsolo. Most especially the iconic figure of the Filipina maiden working in the fields—the beloved dalagang bukid. These, I believe, even after generations of Filipino painters since Amorsolo, have remained in our hearts and memory. Amorsolo did what great masters do for their country: bestow upon it its own icons, represent its native beauty, that is, to give its people and lands an identity and a face. Working in Space and With Time. Come harvest season, w...

Invisible Love (The Bridge) / Divine Availability

http://theclearingroom.blogspot.com/2006/09/invisible-love-bridge.html

He who is free is able to see. Invisible Love (The Bridge). And so after a year, we end with Marion giving us a sketch of what love is: that love is “a visible jubilation of invisibles, without any visible object, yet in balance, through the crossing of aims…”. And when the one you love dies—when she is no longer a being and is already a non-being—what care would you have for all that still is. For all that still exists, for all that is still in Being. As Jean-Luc Marion puts it in God without Being.

Late Reflections on Charles Peguy's Portal of the Mystery of Hope / Divine Availability

http://theclearingroom.blogspot.com/2012/03/late-reflections-on-charles-peguys.html

He who is free is able to see. Late Reflections on Charles Peguy's Portal of the Mystery of Hope. Among the three theological virtues, Péguy says, it is hope which surprises God the most. He almost cannot believe it, this ability of man to hope. 8220;I am so resplendent in my creation,” says God, so visible, so present in the marvel of all that he has made and all that he will make. How then can one ever. See God, not. Have faith in him? Charity, too, unfortunately, is not surprising. If it has no basis?

Constants / Divine Availability

http://theclearingroom.blogspot.com/2015/04/constants.html

He who is free is able to see. It is the things that remain with us that define us. A division of the soul, scattered through time in the sense that I can seem to be different from my past, my present, and my future. Think of the classic case of someone undergoing total amnesia. Is he the same person he was before? Would not everything be new? But something must remain. Otherwise, how am I to say that it is still the same I that undergoes these changes? So must the heart be prompt at each new calling, / ...

Without Why (The Rose) II / Divine Availability

http://theclearingroom.blogspot.com/2006/09/without-why-rose-ii.html

He who is free is able to see. Without Why (The Rose) II. Lifetime is a child at play; moving pieces in a game. Kingship belongs to the child. Heraclitus, Fragment 52. The child at play never asks itself why it plays. The child just plays; and if it could, it will play as long as possible, it will play throughout its life. See its delight and witness its smile. One day, purpose-driven. The rose is without why, it blooms because it blooms,. It pays no attention to itself, asks not whether it is seen.

Pagiging Matanda: Isang Tanong / Divine Availability

http://theclearingroom.blogspot.com/2009/08/pagiging-matanda-isang-tanong.html

He who is free is able to see. Pagiging Matanda: Isang Tanong. May bagong tanong ang aking estudyante at interesante dahil simple:. Kailan ba nagiging "matanda" ang isang tao? O ano ang basehan ng pagiging "matanda na"? O sa mismong mga salita ng mag-aaral:. Kailan ba talaga tayo nagiging "matanda na"? Ano ba yung "border" kung saan kapag nalagpasan na natin iyon ay matatawag na tayong matanda? Ano ba ang matanda? Ang magiging sagot ay laging arbitraryo. Baka pinagsasabihan tayo na "matanda ka na kaya da...
