it is a hard lesson to learn; but it seems that sometimes love just isn’t enough. after everything, Peter ended our relationship last night.
although it is the most powerful force accessible to mankind – mankind is not always capable of allowing Love to transform it.
we create conditions and sub-clauses – to such an extent that we only see what we created. sometimes we end up forgetting that we created our cages – and start believing that’s all there is.
trying to live outside my own cage, and in the Light of Love, is challenging… but trying to free someone else is next to impossible.
Jesus did that, though, and He offers that freedom to anybody who wants it.
that’s what Christmas is about.
that’s what Love is about.
may you find some comfort here.
Merry Christmas.
apparently there is a new kind of treatment the doctors want to try on Leon.
the chances of success are extremely low – but not zero.
and that’s better than waiting to die.
one week till Christmas (Yay!!!)
cold, cold, cold!
earthquake last night measured 6.4 at it’s epicenter… apparently it only felt like a “2” here in Kaohsiung City. rattled me up good.
four day workweek coming up
headed to Taipei for Christmas day
missing my family
did i mention how cold it is?
just heard that Leon is extremely weak and thin…
i know this isn’t really what anyone wants to read so close to the festive season, but if you have the inclination, please spare a thought or two:
for my old friend Leon, who has lost the battle against cancer and can now only wait…
for Love to grow and heal where me and Peter so desperately need it, and
for our friends and families that have their own journeying and healing to go through.
and remember – live life fully and live life now.
tomorrow… well, tomorrow is not a promise we can keep.
wow! thanks to JH for posting this on his tumbler page!
Season’s Greetings ;0)
this old life’s a great, big game
or, at times, a dirty, rotten shame
but through the bickering and bantering
som bric-a-brac and slandering
one thing stands above
sometimes, you just have to love
when your lover breaks your heart
by acting like a tart
or silence builds a prison
you didn’t want to be in
there’s not much use for sunscreen
or being a royal Prejean
maybe, you just have to love
and if, perhaps, one random morning
when trying to sleep gets kinda boring
after all your plans have gone belly-up
and you’re just so close to giving up
get up and rouge it
you gotta live through it
and yeah, you just have to love
