Dying to Hear


              If one truly speaks from the abundance of the heart, then words are not too much to ask for. If the heart is empty, then silence echoes. Letters are the thin fabric that binds distant hearts and with all trust let it be the truth. A truth, not simply outright in complacency to please the other but a truth that projects the heartfelt thoughts. Hearing what one ought to hear can be manipulated with lies and if truth be told in such manner, myriad deception or absence of presence occurs. However, if one ought to hear what truly is meant by the speaker, then there is no other window to where the connection is evident.

              I am troubled and lost at times for actual presence is at bay. I do not wish to delude myself with my own echoes, but let those be coming from you. Your lips taste sweet and your body warm, but words comfort the soul. A vessel without the within is an empty husk. If it be wine, water or piss then let me drink either through my ears.

              My heart’s desires and my thoughts speak often to remind who am I to you. A delicate touch could compensate but not now. Touch me with words. Let me know what am I to you. Render yourself naked before me by speaking. Please do speak without veils. I yearn for your thoughts.

Fin?

  Last 2012, there were hearts on fire that both had their first shared flame in an unlikely place. I was thirsty for love coming from being dormant while she was searching for a redemption from a series of broken hearts. Both struggled to find their place. Both trying to live their lives free from the hideous chains of a dark home. I must admit that I fell for her beauty and add to that, her care. As we both clasped our hands, it was a committed long shot to have the perfect rest for our hearts. It was a bit strange to have an affair under the noses of all that is forbidden both profession and a line of faith. Nothing was wrong as long both were in the ecstasy of love – no malice, no foul play, no trespassing of wills. That moment was a perfect episode in a romantic film – one where young love sprang amidst treacherous circumstances. We lived through the happiness of newfound belongingness and the battle of keeping that alive. 4 years before the wedlock were filled with ups an...

Article Review on Elinita Garcia's "Gabriel Marcel: Primary and Secondary Reflection"

Summary:             Gabriel Marcel is a known French existentialist. His co-Frenchman, Jean-Paul Sartre, distinguished existentialism into two which were coined as  atheistic  and  theistic  (Christian) wherein Sartre did mention Marcel as part of the latter in lecture on Existentialism a Humanism . Marcel is a Christian existentialist because he included the divine even amidst the infamous perception of existentialism as godless. Moreover, he is also known for his non-systematic philosophy where he pointed out that the philosophical discipline starts from where one is (referring to the particularity of the situation); therefore, it is not from metaphysical assumptions or already laid down theories.             Marcel’s thoughts talk about the importance and the necessity of reflection wherein he divides it into two as a) primary reflectio...

SHS Batch 2022 - 2024

     Exquisite! By comparison, you are yet the students I handled as a batch for two consecutive years. Forgive me, knowing that I was going to be omnipresent in your senior high school life, I got excited to do an experiment. After a tiresome rubbish of an experience during the pandemic and your previous batch who were at most still having a hangover of simply passing by shitty compliance of modules (with few esteemed exceptional students), I pushed you into overdrive in a manner that I usually would when I taught in college before. And it worked!      I was engaged with the expected frustrations. The extreme poles were there, but those who were deserving of pity are not shameful in the sense – just minor outliers and I am leaving up to their gods for their character growth, that is all. A worthy spectacle was seeing how those who were already at some capability struggled to be better under pressure. An even better feast for the eyes were those who outshin...
