“Unworthy” 25 December 2007

To feel unworthy towards someone is perhaps to consider him/her worth everything else put together—or even beyond that. Perhaps to come near or to be in general vicinity is unthinkable, let alone to belong. To belong is to be overwhelmed by love one feels undeserving, that perhaps there is nothing good to offer in return. [...]

Love—even when 25 December 2007

Even when someone can no longer make sentences through speech and writing—to express love, even when someone is too frail to move—for a loving touch, even when someone’s memory of moments together and common interests begins to fade, even when someone becomes more and more confused with one’s awareness of oneself—and of loved one. Even [...]

Irrelevance of needs to love’s act 25 December 2007

“Everyone needs to love and be loved”—this expression I have misguidedly understood. Act of love and be loved must not be an expression of one’s need—rather, of service to other’s needs.

After a long journey 24 December 2007

I am glad Grace arrived in Malang safely today. I hope she’ll have enough rest tonight, after a long (and tiring) journey. 
P.S. If you continually fall asleep (while watching football), please have some rest, dear… =)

We have hearts to keep 22 December 2007

Dear, do you remember this?

A year 21 December 2007

You are still the same man I knew a year ago, and even more. Because of you, I see God’s acceptance of myself.

That night 19 December 2007

That night, passing by that familiar place brought back sweet memories.

How will we know we are loved 19 December 2007

How can we know, how can we be affirmed that we are seen, we are celebrated, we are fond of, we are loved for as much as we are known of, and that we shall be loved better as we are later on known more wholly by each other?
