TAT’s All, Folks!

So my recent post appears like how my life has been this past 19 weeks — light alternating with darkness! Got into managing an elections program and I didn’t know what hit me. It’s been tiring; only got into it cos I figured, hey, this can make a difference, and hit the ground running — literally.

I miss my family. I miss my friends. I miss having time to pray. I miss solitude. Really need to find a way not to work hard but to work smart. And get rid of back pains!

So far, the madness may subside soon.

I remember how a friend reminded me once that there should be a difference between doing the will of God and doing God’s work. That sometimes, we get busy doing God’s work we forget to do God’s will. Pondering away on that.

Lots of cool things got done however. And these appear, in my still-idealistic heart, seeds for new politics.

Elections and everything that democracy should be about must involve that hope for things beyond our reach; that faith for goals that we lie awake dreaming about; that unerring conviction that if we strive harder, we’ll truly see the dawn of a better government and genuine public service.

But first, uncover the shadows.
