desiderata

Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

akala ko maayos matatapos ang taon na ito... ang school year. masaya... pero hindi pala. maling mali ang akala ko. sobrang mali. umuwi ako mula sa school, kalmado...walang pakialam sa mangyayari sa bahay. ngayon, naghahalong lungkot at tuwa ang nararamdaman ko. tuwa, tapos na mga paghihirap sa school. at lungkot...wala na. hindi ko na siya makikita...mayayakap.. hindi ko na siya... hindi ko na siya uli... hindi ko man lang siya nabigyan ng importansya.. masyado ko siyang pinagbalewala.. akala ko... akala ko... matagal pa bago siya mawawala...matibay siya. pero hindi. wala na siya. hindi ko na makikita ang maamo niyang mukha... hindi ko na makakamot ang tenga niya... hindi ko na siya mapapakain... wala na akong pagbibigyan ng tinapay na nauuwi ko mula sa school... wala na akong mapapaliguan na sobrang likot. wala na. hindi ko na makikita ang pagiging makulit niya. hindi ko na makikita ang nagpapacute nyang mukha. akala ko magkakaroon pa ako ng panahon para makasama siya...ngayong summer.. pero hindi. hindi ko inaasahan ang tawag na yon. akala ko... pero...wala na akong magagawa... tapos na... pero ang hirap pa ring mapaniwalaan... patay na siya... patay na... mamimiss ko siya. kahit na hindi ko siya favorite… kahit na ilang beses ko siyang napagalitan…napalo… wala na akong maririnig na alulong ng aso pagsapit ng hating gabi… wala na akong maririnig na sobrang tinis na tahol niya… wala na… mamimiss ko siya. ang kulit niya. ang malaway niyang mga palarong kagat…

Jumbo, mamimiss kita.
