Desiderata: Moving....

To my fans (harhar!), my updates will be at lucillajoanna.livejournal.com from now on... *hugs*

Lipat ka na rin don, Allen. Kaya lang hirap ayusin layouts. Papatulong pa ako sa SPEW.

What do you fear?

Losing my loved ones. Selfish, isn't it?

Fear is always selfish. You hate the terror you feel. Self-centered. That is why to be brave is to be selfless, because when we're brave, we do miracles, not just in us, but in others.

Didn't I read that first from Anne Frank? "When we do the best we can..."

Immortal words.

I've been deaf for seven years now, and somehow, that triplicates my fear of losing my family. Because who then would protect me, guide me, shelter me?

Me, me, me.

See? Selfish.

We are only as strong as our strengths.

And when you think about it, your strengths are not your aptitude in math or composition. Not at all.

Your strengths are not talents or things, but people you most fear of losing.

Maybe my cousin's recent death has brought on this reflection.

And now as I utter a prayer of remembrance for her, another thought comes to me.

The Lord will always renew our strength.

I have nothing to fear, really.
