Stand Still

Posted on by eneeryvi

The movie played over and over again in my head. It continued to haunt me in my sleep.

The characters… they were all but warm, and comforting, and all over each other.

And then, the movie suddenly stopped.

I was there, watching.

My heart was racing. Waiting for every second to pass. Waiting for every smile. Waiting for both of them to look at each other with that gaze that would bring shame to the sun’s rays. It was so warm, full of love. It used to be.

And then, it all stops.

What’s next?

Stand still. Hold still. Breathe still.

I said to myself.

The world is spinning around me. Time is running out.

And then, time ran. Time flew.

Wishing it would stop, too.

But then, it didn’t.

I stopped.

I should stand still. Hold still. Breathe still.

I realized,

In the end…

Alone, I will stand still.

Yesterday, while I was walking towards the parking area, a woman approached me. She was probably in her late 30s and she was carrying a child in her arms. She was selling rags.

She said in a very polite manner, “Mam, please buy these two sets of rags. They’re the last that I have. Please buy them so we can go home.”

I hurriedly gave her money and told her not to give me the change. When I took the rags, she told me, “Mam, please take care. Thank you so much for your help.” I did my best to walk away from her as fast as I could, so she wouldn’t see my face because tears started to well up in my eyes.

I promised myself, one day, I will be so rich and I will help more mothers and fathers send their children to school; help them live in decent homes and give them decent jobs.

I’m not promising to help everyone but I do pray that I can help more and more people as I grow older.

I believe that if only people would start helping more people, the world will be a better place…

Knots

Posted on by eneeryvi
Each time I try pulling all the strings together, I would treat it like a knot. I would always do my best to keep it altogether until my hand becomes numb to the pain of forcing it to stay as it is, and until I become oblivious to what is going on around me. I don’t mind the swirls hanging in my head and the shadows clouding over me.
 
However, no matter how good a person is in keeping a knot as tight as possible, it gradually finds a way to untie itself. No matter how you much have assured yourself that you can keep it all glamorously tied up, it untangles on its own. It may be the cold weather. Or maybe, the warm weather?
 
Knots. Sometimes, you want to cling on to it. Sometimes, it’s better off on its own. Alone. Untangled. Cold.
Knots, sometimes, they can drive you nuts.

The Happiness of a Good Person (Psalm 112)

Posted on by eneeryvi

Praise the Lord!

Happy is the person who honors the Lord, who takes pleasure in obeying His commands.

The good man’s children will be powerful in the land; his descendants will be blessed.

His family will be wealthy and rich, and he will be prosperous forever.

Light shines in the darkness for good people, for those who are merciful, kind and just.

Happy is the person who is generous with his loans, who runs his business honestly.

A good person will never fail, he will always be remembered.

He is not afraid of receiving bad news; his faith is strong and he trusts in the Lord.

He is not worried or afraid; he is certain to see his enemies defeated.

He gives generously to the needy, and his kindness never fails;

He will be powerful and respected.

The wicked see this and are angry; they glare in hate and disappear; their hopes are gone forever.
