From my Journal 20130321Thu

My Miyang was born 1929-06-12 in Frankfurt-am-Main at the heart of Germany (the same day - not year - the Philippine Republic was on earth conceived, our Independence Day).

She ended up, as the sickness of a few sickened the spirit of many, being excluded from that nation.

And as the sickness grew and overcame with the spirit of War the weakened will of a now captive Germany, she eventually died without ever feeling she and all those who were excluded with her was ever born there - right at the very heart, at the very place where the love of a nation she longed for in this life should have been felt the strongest.

That love she so longed for that she gave the name, "Kitty".

This will not happen again - not in my nation - and if I can help it - not in any nation upon the earth who claims from heaven and God a universal heritage of a common humanity and freedom.

I will not forget - never.

Reflections on Recovery

False addictions 
are those vicious attachments
that prevent one's love from knowing itself true
and thus,
taking wing to God.

Star-Shine

Our hearts when they are lit with an unseen illumination causes our souls to see what can not be seen by our physical senses... so when we project our fears, they are so projected.

When we focus on these fears enough, we ourselves tend to create what haunts us in the physical world.

For we tend to affect the "waters" of the environment we are in and we feel this in each other.

So let us be careful and solicitous about this tender and kindly light from within our hearts, for truly we can fill the world with love.
