Sitting along the highway, cool breeze , cars and trucks passing by
we arrived past 11 pm. It was a cool cloudless night the familiar cool breeze was so welcoming... just like the welcome of an old familiar face.
I can smell the rice or is it the pasta boiling away. it's somebodys birthday today... kublai's old friend. I am just here for the ride. we talked alot about alot of things last night in between the jokes and stuff like that ... some nuggets of wisdom could be found. Tried by fate and perfected by time some things hold true. I think everyone's longing for acceptance and understanding ...
last night kublai shared his reason for mwearing his shirt inside out. Wearing his shirt inside out was show of silent protest.He viewed the world indie out , the wrong way .. he's not happy with what he is seeing around this his his way .
So the world is inside out and upside down. It difficult to change .. but its easier to change the way you wear your tees.
Why wear your shirt inside out? How how about wearing your pants the same way ?
Answer .
Have you ever tried wearing your pants inside out ? Resounding laugh.. and giggles. It's just darn difficult to get access to your pockets that way. and how about going to a piss when using levis button flies .. that would be quiet a challenge..and a feat of dexterity.
We do what little we can , when we can and just offer to the world for free.
mujaheed ray millan the artist of muslims, christians and the lumads.
works on one of biggest churches in mindanao were commissioned to him. Icons venerating the proud muslim tradition were commission to hime ....and tributes to the lumads of mindanao were commission to him.
it's interesting how these things are . Alittle more than 5 years ago i was here with kublai in cross road... and guess this too is a cross road for me.
Are the signes telling me that it's time make some changes ?
several things i realize when i am away from my family even for a short time. I love my wife and I love my children. I guess some times it's important to step back and look into your life and look with a attitude of gratitude. For all the travails of domestic life and the mundane challenges of raising a family ... life special and good. No matter how tough and crazy things might get, separation is not an option.
Letter to my Dear wife.
Dearest Mariella,
For the several years now we've been together, living, working , loving and playing. For sharing those momment i am grateful I was blessed that way. I want you to know how special you are to me. Sometimes .. often .. i ma in a crazy mood, i need to make you understand that this mood is triggered when the life i have in my mind is different from the life i am living.
It's not you ... it's me. If i have learnt anything from my parents .... its that .. the foundation of a happy marriage is love.
Love that overcomes, love that sees the faults and yet prevails. Love the supports and creates. Love that nurtures and is easy to give. Love that's forgiving adn understanding , love that's warm and comforting, love makes you want t o be a better husband. A love that makes you want to be a more patient Dad. A love that provides. A love that's as constant as the Love of God , unrelenting and always in our midst.
I know based on the good examples of our Dads, I am way way way off. It's also not a pissing contest of who can be the best husband and Dad. But for today .... maybe just for today ... I will be a better husband and dad.
------ in bed while playing with the kids ... Isha once said.. Dad is this our life? When she asked that question you tried to explain further what you though she was saying. You explained ... that Isha was really asking if this is our life .. is this how simple our family life is . and explained further that .. she aspiredfor more.. trips abroad etc. That was an interesting though and a stimulating question.
I had wanted to teach a simple lessen in having that attitude of gratitude and finding out what the Lord really has planned forus. I am convinced that we are destined to do great things for a lot of our people. I know that because he has been continually equiping us with teachers and experiences that tend to point that way. I know that because although our life and foundation may not have been easy... it was certainly eventful and has moulded us to what we are now.
Mariella, I thank you for choosing me to spend share your wonderful life with. I thank you for choosing me to be your friend , partner, helpmate and lover.
