Four …. Been occupied at work …. Utang muna ang morning pages ngayon …
Just want to jot this recurring thought …that if I am allowed only three short sentences to say to God , they would be these ---- ‘ I love You. I thank You. Please forgive me’.
July 30, 2008
Let me begin my morning pages by quoting these reflections :
First and foremost : ”Matthew 13:44-46
44 Jesus said to his disciples: “The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure buried in a field, which a person finds and hides again, and out of joy goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. 45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant searching for fine pearls. 46 When he finds a pearl of great price, he goes and sells all that he has and buys it.”
“There are things in the world to which we have to attend. However, our eyes and heart must always be directed towards the Kingdom of Heaven.
Dear Jesus, if I don’t seem to pay attention to You, nudge me strongly so I refocus my eyes on You, my Pearl of Great Price. “ “
Quotes on design and such things :
From a Filipino designer based in France .
“Living in France freed me to be myself, to discover who I am and express it to the fullest. Design is about being honest with myself. Before, I would do projects that were client-oriented and I would look at the magazines and propose an idea. Now, it’s all about me,” he says.
“In France, artists are called ‘createurs.’ The idea has to come from you. That’s what I’m trying to teach when I’m in the Philippines. Many are lacking in individuality. Big cities in France celebrate culture and creative people who do new things and make you feel it.”
“Design, or art in general, is about finding your truth and translating that,” he adds.
From a businessman/photographer :
“My signature is elegance. Sometimes these young, beautiful models can’t project sophistication the way a mature person or a woman of stature would. It takes a certain age before the elegance is projected naturally. You can’t buy that. Beauty is really in the eye of the beholder. I’ve had subjects who were plump, but they were happy.”
2:30 PM I had to spray myself with a strong dose of ‘profumo di oliva’ to keep myself awake ….. OK , let’s make this an exercise in perseverance , professionalism and fortitude under the torture of doing-something-that-is-interesting-in-but-believe-in-anymore ( isn't that confusing?)…….. I will be very grateful if these work hours ended today without me abandoning this thing … So, help me God.
3:30 Dear God --- this is a cry for help …. Please let me last until five … I’m already experience a hardness of mind and emotions ….. trying to be productive under the circumstances …
4:00 God, please … I’m trying to be productive, useful and relevant here , hopefully , according to Your will and plan for my life … or what’s left of it …
Lord, in the past , I’ve run my life with my decisions that may have been intended by me for good , but didn’t turn out to be so. I also don’t want my life or what’s left of it to be driven by other people . I really pray that this time , it is Your will that propels it .
4:30 : Dear God, I’m waiting to exhale ….
5:00 …. Exhaling now ….. Dear God … I pray tomorrow will be a better day …. Thanks for the day.
