Active Contemplative: July 2006

LESSONS IN LIVING FROM THE HEART. Saturday, July 08, 2006. Nobody escapes being wounded. We all are wounded people, whether physically, emotionally, mentally, or spiritually. The main question is not "How can we hide our wounds? So we don't have to be embarrassed, but "How can we put our woundedness in the service of others? When our wounds cease to be a source of shame, and become a source of healing, we have become wounded healers. Henri Nouwen, Wounded Healer. Posted by Yoke-Yeow Yap at 11:23 PM.

LESSONS IN LIVING FROM THE HEART. Friday, November 04, 2005. Like oil to fire. Both water and oil come from the earth. And though they are similar in many ways, they are opposites in their nature and their purpose. Posted by Yoke-Yeow Yap at 10:30 AM. View my complete profile. For It Is Written. No doubt, no faith. Like oil to fire. Too Big to Put Behind. The Paradox of Humanness. The Word only A Means. Once They Deny Themselves. Real action or reaction? When We Share Woundedness.

LESSONS IN LIVING FROM THE HEART. Friday, August 12, 2005. The words 'You are not your own, you were bought at a price' - is both convicting and liberating. It condemns the runaway arrogance of absolute self-rule. My life is not for me to run as I wish and to do with any way I so please. I am not my own. I belong also to someone else. Posted by Yoke-Yeow Yap at 4:45 PM. Monday, August 01, 2005. The Problem with Wealth. Incriminating, but true. We know it. With every up-step in status, income and ...The P...

He who is outside his door has the hardest part of his journey behind him.". How often do you find yourself in the wilderness outside the home that is your heart?

The Tent: December 2008
http://takingrefuge.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
The end of the year is always a mixed bag and way too fast a way to close the year for me. But like all boring people who aren't out there screaming a countdown and drinking their livers to poop, I'm blogging. Ok, I've got a glass of wine in one hand. but that doesn't count. The Yaps basically hunched and slouched around a feast of Dim Sum, gorging dumplings, slurping tea, reminiscing everything from Castlewolfenstein (a PC game which me and my brother spent disproportionate amounts of our childhood on) ...

It's always fun to learn new skills. And especially when a Mac is there to serve you. This is my experiment with designing a brochure for our annual society biggie. Not bad for a surgeon no? I had to climb all the way up Mt Kinabalu for that sunrise shot (from our climb in 2006), for your information! I don't think any printing company would do that for you. Wednesday, November 04, 2009.

The Tent: Facing difficult circumstances
http://takingrefuge.blogspot.com/2009/05/reflection-facing-difficult.html
With the recent and current increase in difficult circumstances (aka shit) I have been facing, I realise I must evolve in my problem management for long-term survival and to preserve my home and sanity. The weak thought patterns are especially that:. I allow problems to accumulate without resolution. I overestimate the difficulty of individual problems. I take an all-or-nothing view of each problem. New strategies should include:. Solving the problem immediately where possible. In my mind,:. By looking a...

The Tent: April 2009
http://takingrefuge.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Ah Pak San 2. Somewhere between the two entrances, Saga and Awana lies the peaks - Saga and Cuepacs. My second trip up Ah Pak San. This time I defied my old bones and made it all the way. I got up at 7am in spite of a late night fiddling with the 1TB WD My Book. I think my body was psyched to do it all of yesterday so I was on biological alarm clock mode. Since I was up and wide-eyed, I decided, WTH, let's go torture myself. Station 6 is the Cuepacs peak or Ah Pak San. Sunday, April 19, 2009. Or could it...

The Tent: Men are autocannibalistic but not women?
http://takingrefuge.blogspot.com/2009/08/men-are-autocannibalistic-but-not-women.html
Men are autocannibalistic but not women? This is the strangest thing I've read in scientific literature ever. Apparently men's neurons are programmed to self-destruct in starvation (eg. an ischemic stroke) while women's will burn surrounding fat. Now why would we be wired that way? A man would be better off dead than brain dead but it's ok for women to be brain-damaged because no one would tell the difference? Let's see who will flame me for this. 1, 2, 3,.). Self-cannibalism makes sense for body tissues...
