Genesis 1 : Speak Life

-


Preface: The other day a scripture just came up in my head and the idea of interpreting it in my way has appeared. I have been having difficulty picking up the  bible again because it has been misused by the fundamentalists for their own agenda and blindly ignored the message of Jesus. So I have decided to read the Bible as just a book and to discover the principles and wisdom from it that I can apply in my life. I don't claim to be an expert nor am I a "Christian" with the fundamentalist definition. I am merely someone who still wants to follow Jesus without all the insanity. 


Genesis 1
This chapter marks the beginning of the world and life. God spoke and created life in this story. Humans longed to know how the world was formed and this is how they could understand the happening like many different legends in different cultures. The world was not necessarily created in just 6 days and it doesn't even need to be in the orders of how each day depicted. The main point is God spoke life and life was created. God creates and humans created in His image are also made to create. Thus all the creation and invention appear incessantly throughout human civilization.  What we can learn from God from this story is to speak life, to speak positive and edifying things that would motivate others or ourselves to create and to transform in life.

Unfinished

Sadly, this is the moment I know that I will love you till the day I die Even if you would never know it I decide to bury it deep in my heart despite you told me you loved me very much after a few cans of beer and asked me to join you to form a heart with our hands Because I know how much it hurt last time when I offered my heart entrusting you with it after you persuaded me to open it.  It ended up being tossed aside like a used rag despite it was gold Because I know that same smile might not be only for me Sometimes I imagine what it would be like if I met you in our youth.  Would you be willing to talk to me like now? Would you ask me out on a date? Or would you hurt me even more than you did? It is amazing that despite how many women you slept with, flirted with or talked to. You chose to call me, crack jokes, act silly, take me virtually to shop in supermarkets and watch all these videos and planes for hours and hours If this isn't love, then I don't know what love is at ...

Live Without

-
Of all the elements, what can one live without?  Here is the order of elements, from what will impact us the most immediately to least urgent, when one of the them is absent :  Air > Water > Earth > Fire  Air: We die if we can't breathe air within three minutes.  Water: We can only survive without water for three days.  Earth: Earth grows food. Without food, we can only survive for a week. And earth is the ground we stand upon.  Fire: Fire is the least needed element. We can live on raw food and water alone. However, life would seem to miss some sparks or flavors. Fire is the driving force and passion that ignites life.  The order of the elements, from most to least, on my astrology chart is: Water > Fire > Earth > Air  The element of air is zero. It makes me wonder what that signifies if the element is absent in me esoterically, if the air is so important for a living being. It reflects on my struggle with the suffocation and st...

Grieving: Story II

-
I am learning again that if I like something or someone I don't need to own it.  If I see a beautiful rose, I don't need to pluck it off. Even though I got led on to believe that it belonged to me.  I ignored my intuition because of the sweet, enticing words of little substance.  I kept holding onto the thorns of the rose that wasn't mine even if my hands were bleeding.  I kept going back to see the rose day after day watering it and keeping it company but only to find out that it was plucked away by someone else I never knew.  I am grieving for the fond memories and hurting for the excuses, lies and distance.  It stains my love and betrays my soul.  It left a hollow and empty hole in my heart.  The change of heart and the rejection is, in a way similar to the death of a person you once knew  They are no more even though they are still phsyically alive in this world.  But the distance between your hearts and souls are greater than heaven...
