a sidewalk painted life: Where Is Peace?
http://sidewalkpaintedlife.blogspot.com/2009/03/where-is-peace.html
Sunday, March 15, 2009. Where is his peace to be found? The answer is surprising but it is clear. In weakness. Few people are telling us this truth, but there is peace to be found in our own weakness, in those places of our hearts where we feel most broke, most insecure, most in agony, most afraid. Why there? Henri Nouwen, Finding My Way Home. Do others persecute me because of theirs? I am staying on truth. Waiting for all the falsity to fall away. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Where Did I Go.

a sidewalk painted life: July 2008
http://sidewalkpaintedlife.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 17, 2008. Round the rockwell road. I want to keep opening my eyes. those that belong to my heart. my soul. my spirit. so that i will never miss out in seeing the truth that wants me staring right at it's face. the breakthrough awaiting to be claimed. the love longing to be lived. Tuesday, July 15, 2008. Rain cleans ink blot stains. Unfortunately i am not that whole yet but i'm getting there. Hand in your hand. . Heart in your heart. . A little bit like the embrace . You are in a city...

a sidewalk painted life: There's No Substitute for the Real Thing | Soar High FrancisM
http://sidewalkpaintedlife.blogspot.com/2009/03/theres-no-substitute-for-real-thing.html
Saturday, March 7, 2009. There's No Substitute for the Real Thing Soar High FrancisM. I am still at a loss for words. The death of Philippine's Master Rapper Francis "Kiko" Magalona has shaken the Entertainment and Music Industry since news of his death yesterday. I am at a loss for words because it is hard to imagine someone whose life was pulsating with passion and zeal, color and vibrance can stop just like that. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

a sidewalk painted life: Vulnerability
http://sidewalkpaintedlife.blogspot.com/2009/03/vulnerability.html
Saturday, March 14, 2009. They say that being authentic is part of life. The pain and the joy of tearing the veil. You hide yourself in is the journey. I am told that being who you are is. Being your very own Michaelangelo. Sculpting your core out of a mold. Society keeps you in. Child man lover nemesis. All these facets exist in every. Crack and crevice of bottlenecked veins. Hanging on to a lifeline. I am told that breaking out of your shell. Is an accomplishment in overcoming. What to do with it.

Sunday, February 22, 2009. Things You Will Never See. Things You Will Never See. Originally uploaded by puresolitude. There are things you will never see. Past your own eyes. Or hear with your own ears. And they are the cries that. Remain muffled and the. Groans that remain in hiding. For ache can be too grotesque to witness. And pain can be too much to bear. Save but one drop that escapes my. Eyes and stains my cheek. And finds its way to still. Call out your name. Whats in a Name? What's in a Name?

Monday, March 16, 2009. When all thoughts become muffled and unclear, I go back to the one thing that helps me hear a little bit more clearly. Labels: notes to myself. Sunday, March 15, 2009. Where is his peace to be found? The answer is surprising but it is clear. In weakness. Few people are telling us this truth, but there is peace to be found in our own weakness, in those places of our hearts where we feel most broke, most insecure, most in agony, most afraid. Why there?

a sidewalk painted life: What's in a Name?
http://sidewalkpaintedlife.blogspot.com/2009/02/what-in-name.html
Sunday, February 22, 2009. Whats in a Name? What's in a Name? Originally uploaded by puresolitude. Her name finds me again reflecting on 3 years ago where I was called to share my conversion story at a retreat. I carried the marks of a sinner quite similar to the saint who found me on the same ground of dirt condemned for the same things. Mary Magdalen. I took comfort under her wing and wove my story into hers and found that in my scars seared her strength. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Do you know...

a sidewalk painted life: January 2009

Sunday, January 25, 2009. Gazing At the Window Sill. Gazing At the Window Sill. Originally uploaded by puresolitude. To the right of this window sill is the small table I put my laptop on. The light that shines through the glass is soft and hazy. It caught me this morning because it gave a kind of softness that was soothing and tender. I stared at this space for quite a while thinking about my flight back to Manila at 5:20pm and how my Dad's recovery will be in the next few days. On Coffee and Rain.

a sidewalk painted life: December 2008
http://sidewalkpaintedlife.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 25, 2008. Her voice full of life. Full of certainty. Full of purpose. I wonder what makes her passing so different from my Yoyo's. Me and my relatives have contemplated about it a lot but I'm not sure if we really understood it fully. As I move along Christmas day today I stare at the quiet house and remember her presence. I remember how much of it was shared and poured into to every moment we came to visit. Wednesday, December 10, 2008. As the day draws to a close, I reflect on many t...
