Quote

Reinhold Niebuhr put it best: “Nothing that is worth doing can be achieved in our lifetime; therefore, we must be saved by hope. ... Nothing we do, however virtuous, can be accomplished alone; therefore, we are saved by love. No virtuous act is quite as virtuous from the standpoint of our friend or foe as it is from our standpoint. Therefore, we must be saved by the final form of love, which is forgiveness."

His presence

In His presence, the pain in my heart wells up to the point of release. And yet, better is one day in Your courts, than a thousand elsewhere.

Only He will understand, how deep my regrets in life. And only He will grant me the pardon I need.

But honestly? I very much feel like running away.

Savoring it all

An enchanting night at PS Cafe. The music was right, the ambience mesmerizing and the food satisfying. I chose a Sauvignon Blanc for the party and it turned out absolutely charming. I basked in the moment, being who I am and saying words that I truly meant. Narcissistic as it sounds, it feels good to be in good company, but good to know that I myself was good company as well. That is much in life to savor, and I promised myself to do just that, to savor and bask in all of it vicariously.
