Most- Loved Priests

 

These two holy men who I know pray for me, who accept the ME without prejudice rather with care and genuineness. I used to run to them for matters, trivial or not, that bother my peace and happiness. I can make them laugh, have conversations with great ease coz I do not need to wear a mask.  There was never a need to impress them, they let me express myself in hyper- manic and sassiest way, and they listen attentively to my thoughts that I blurt out.

Now they both have grey hair, it's been almost eight years that I am not physically near them yet they remain to inspire and motivate me to be a "good girl." I miss them as they serve as my spiritual blankets and shield.  They continue to be. 

JCH. Chingkido. Spiritual Shield.

Non- Opioid Analgesic

 Happy birthday, E!! I may not have greeted you but I remember your natal day. I keep our good memories, albeit brief, together. Like what I told you, I didn't need to take the prescribed Norco pain pills post- surgery in October 2021 because you served as the most effective non- pharmacologic intervention. And if only for that, I am glad. No bad blood.

Not. The. One.

Stormy Day Thoughts

 I am a party girl who drinks, sing and dance

 " I can still make the whole world shimmer" as 

sang by baby sister Taylor in Bejeweled.

I am a homebody who can be alright

With Golden Girls, BBC News and NBA on TV.

I can be publicly attached and fade away

The next day like nothing happened.

In both ways, I find balance and contentment.

My life is quiet and at peace now

Tears and sad heart still show

But at least I hurt no one anymore

And a ticket to heaven is possible again.

Calm. Quiet. Rain.
