There is great beauty
In taking care of someone
Tucking them to bed
Lulling them goodnight
All the seven wonders of the word
Seem to meet in the middle
When we cherish even
The simplest things

There is great beauty
In taking care of someone
Tucking them to bed
Lulling them goodnight
All the seven wonders of the word
Seem to meet in the middle
When we cherish even
The simplest things
All the places we want to go
All the adventures waiting at our feet
Yet we have already arrived
At the perfect destination
With no fees!
Isn’t it great?
Isn’t it grand?
To be happy
With no plans?
To be present with life?
And say thank you for Life?
That is the only place
I want to be
Aloha to my second new follower!
I am surprised and humbled by the feedback from my posts. I’m glad people have enjoyed the poetry and my story here on WordPress. Unfortunately, it looks like I was turned down from my rehiring at a specific job but everything happens for a reason. Right now, everything feels very touch and go with all this change that I have been experiencing.
I’d like to clarify exactly who I am and why I am so drawn to writing. To be honest, it seems writing is the only thing I can do with such ease and feel great joy from. I’ve been on a spiritual awakening since I was 19 and my life hasn’t been the same since. It’s been hard for me to find connections with others in some sense because of this.
In fact, I had a very interesting experience with the spiritual realm that I’d like to share today.
It all began when I had just gotten out of a casual relationship with someone. Unfortunately for me, I had fallen deeply in love with him and was filled with resentment about it. One night, after venting to a close friend of mine for three long hours about all the pain and confusion I felt, I begrudgingly went to sleep by the demand of my friend.
I am not sure how much time had passed when it occurred, but it was like time did not exist at all. All of a sudden, a light shone through from what seemed the middle of my forehead. I can compare it to a light at the end of a tunnel. This tiny light, surrounded by utter darkness, slowly grew and grew until it covered everything. In fact, there was no darkness to be seen anymore. Even writing about it now evokes such an interesting sensation within me. It is like describing something that is indescribable!
This light blanketed me, comforted me and inspired something within me afterwards. I can recall very acute ringing in my ears as the light grew closer and closer. The light was ethereal and somewhat golden from what I remember. After the light completely shone it self, covering all of my body it seemed, there was a loud bang that shot through my ears. I can only compare it to the sound of a gun shot being aired.
Right after that, I had shot out of bed and awoken. Completely in shock, somewhat relieved of my burdens, and curious about what it was and more.
That ethereal Light was the start of many epiphanies and now I am 24, interested even more about how I could share this Light with the world.
Since then, I’ve gotten into a plethora of self-help books like Eckhart Tolle, David R. Hawkins, and the Course in Miracles just to name a few.
Although I didn’t get the job, I am happy to remember the Truth of every seeming disaster. I’m here. I’m alive. I’m breathing.
And I’m doing what I love the most.
Writing!

Aloha!
I am pleasantly surprised I’ve come across my first follower for this new blog. Hello, new follower! And also I am grateful for the likes on my posts, it is like a constant reassurance from the Universe that we never go through life alone! I’m happy that you guy have enjoyed it, and hopefully found something inspiring in it.
The reason for this new post is just to clarify why exactly I decided to come here on WordPress. First of all, I have always loved writing. I discovered the more I did some serious introspection, the more I discovered that sometimes our true calling begins when we are children. And ever since I was a child, I have loved to read and write.
During the summers as a middle schooler, I would write short stories and poems and silly songs in those composition books we’d use for class. I’d practically fill up the whole notebook by the end of that two-month summer. I have an older sister who is 5 years older than me, with a birthday just one day short of mine and we have always been like yin and yang for each other.
We’d hang out in my room, and I’d create stories while we’d blabber about whatever children blabber about. I’d even make stories for her, read them to her, and act them out. It was such a fun, creative, and limitless time in my childhood and I will never forget it.
So yeah, here I am! Still writing. And I am so happy I came back to it, no matter how hard and confusing my life got.
I’m happy to say that I finally secured a job and am just waiting for a call back to get rehired.
It’s an old job and you might know it!
I will be back to brewing coffee, blending Frappuccinos, and even pursuing my dream!
