No human relationship can be sweet if that lacks the salt of life...
She’s like a boor or a yokel
who knows no boundaries
such a pain in the neck
that makes others suffer.
Her ways is irritating,
like in many instances
where collaboration entails
either at work or in any human endeavor.
She continues to brag about
her role as someone who’s in charge
but that’s not a big deal;
not even something to tell.
It’s always in that perspective
where one has to understand
that our role as co-workers
doesn’t need so much ambition.
It’s true that human relationship
a proverbial tone in all sectors
that conflicts come to the fore
inevitable, a challenge by nature.
Confrontation or dialogue
with sincerity and openness
difficult but meaningful
especially in our culture.
It’s nonetheless a real picture
about ourselves in actions
the work of human principles
negate hiding and sugarcoating.
Well, that’s life in reality,
always the common reason
co-existence in similar institution
needs prayer and communication.
With the onset of summer
there's a calendar of events.
a time to go somewhere
a time to enjoy the weather.
Like in human relationship
there's a hodge-podge of events,
encounters, discussions or clarifications;
They are bits and pieces of life.
Leafy trees surround the island
with lovely flowers on the horizon.
a delight to the beholders
who appreciate God's nature.
A recurring motif each year
where a human person takes the center
to see and enjoy the season
like an authentic slice of motherland.
A fine reason to promote
and celebrate with others.
The gift of life and season
that keeps us going and wonder.
There are countless ways
to see, judge, and act;
like in theology or other disciplines
where values and concerns
reflect the right meaning.
As Christians committed to life
a great taste for relationship
becomes the centerpiece,
the priority in a journey.
It’s in this context though,
that human relationship matters
where there’s a sharing of life,
along with the struggles and joys.
While everyone strives to be human,
at the major crossroads – difficulties
truly, they’re part of life’s experiences
known to shape from within
its interiority, the inner soul.
Many saints have experienced too
those moments of dryness,
doubt and reluctance in their prayers
notwithstanding their spirituality reveals
that right focusing on God alone.
Yet in our life’s articulation,
brings into the limelight – God’s love
it’s always a continuing revelation,
an endless concern in today’s culture;
with God and those around us
remain the basis of what life is all about.
Always working out the territory
to find out the limits on the right
to live or die. Why not to get
an assisted death when you choose
to go unnoticed without fission or
folding up? Time was becoming a book
you cannot read like a polygraph.
The carnivores are increasing in
numbers and destroying the eco-balance
of human relationship. The dry bones
are piling up and the gouged eyes were
gaping in ethical failure under hot
glow of brightness, the naked god
chasing the helpless man. The coming
of age of a dialogue on fear was
important for a debate to start.
