This past days was an ordeal for all of us here in the East. Being sandwiched with the apparent wars happening in the neighboring countries is truly an emotional turmoil. We started stocking food stuffs because of the news of possible uprisings today, March 11, 2011. My Aunt called me days ago telling me how worried she was because I was not answering her phonecalls. Early this morning, I opened my phone and learned that my good friend Marc who's also been working here had phoned me 14 times trying to know my whereabouts.
The silence is alarming and from time to time, my phone would ring from concerned citizens. I kept my silence though, doing the usual chores on my rest day. I had finished my rosary earlier although I admitted that I can feel the tension, worried of my colleagues who's still working in a peril situation in the name of service.
When I went out from the hospital yesterday, I saw the crescent moon in a husky sky. The air smelled dessert's sand. I guessed I have learned reading nature's emotion..summer's about to come..I closed my eyes and said a prayer for whatever tomorrow will entail..I prayed for a sandstorm to dispatch the possible rally..maybe then, the universe will conspire for the sake of peace.
But God is a unique Father. He did not sent whirling storm of sands to hurt our eyes but balls of little snows to enjoy. He is still thinking that we might not see the beauty of nature with closed eyes. He is still thinking of our happiness amidst fears and doubts..He heard my prayers..not in the form of raging sands..
He sent His love in the form of snow..
