Inspiration

"It is during our darkest moments

that we must focus to see the light"

~Aristotle Onassis

Here's a bit of inspiration for all the people out there who need to find the light to guide them. 

Hang on and let's celebrate life.

Take time

"Beware the barrenness of a busy life"

~Socrates

I thought when you pour out your effort, heart and all at something you will be fulfilled. But they don't. Being busy doesn't always equates progress, self satisfaction and fulfillment. Now, not only my head but also my heart knows that we cannot make it for the lost time. We don't have the future yet, we only have the present so might as well live one day at a time and enjoy life. There are far more awesome things out there. I know it.

The way home

"Our way to practice is one step at a time,

one breath at a time"

~Shunryu Suzuki

Caleruega

In life, sometimes we have to take detours. But time will always come, when you'll feel that you had reached the end of the road and there's no other way than to turn around and go back where you truly belong.

Appreciation

"Appreciation is a wonderful thing:

It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well"

-Voltaire

Christmas is almost here. I am now on the highest peak of my happy mood hunting gifts for loved ones.

So busy  I may fail to get that one thing I desire the most to practice my new found desire to capture life. I sulked for like 7 hours. But it led me to the conclusion that nothing will happen even if I do that. So I braced myself and accepted the fact that it wasn't here yet cause it's not the time to be.

God has a plan. And for that I will wait for the right time.

Wallflowers

"I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod;

my shadow does that much better"

-Plutarch

Wallflowers? Nope, just when we wanted to. Right guys?

Wear your emotion

"Nature always wears the colors of the spirit"

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Nature wears the colors of the spirit.

When I was a teen, I was fascinated with pink. 

I stayed faithful to it until I fell in love with red. A color I despised before. 

But can you believe that now, I am in awe with yellow? A color which made me puke when I was young 

(no exaggeration).

Although this sudden changes in my favorites brought confusion in me, I at least came to the most acceptable reason I can think of. And that is, "we wear our emotions". And by that I mean my color depends on my mood (hope that makes sense)

Caleruega

"Be faithful in small things because it is in them
that your strength lies"
-Mother Teresa

Caleruega's Transfiguration Chapel, 

Caleruega made me gasp at first sight and the only word I managed to say was wow.  

It is indeed a perfect place to ponder and pray 

and to free your mind of heavy loads.
