I was looking forward to longer days where I could rest and do a mini-reset. Prior week, for a day I spent one earlier. Woke up late but happy. Did little house chores and drank my coffee. It was peaceful.
During the holy week, my aunt and uncle went home. We were able to spend it at Balingasag. Our family spent a good five days there, in the lush and peaceful place of my Uncle. Much more, we spent it together.
I love listening to their stories back to the good and not so good old days. Living in the countryside was difficult back then but I can see how they've built memories and relationships through it. No electricity, no cellular phones and television, solely their presence in the vast areas of rice fields, rivers and trees. They never ran out of stories and even though they've been telling it lots of times already, we just couldn't help to hear it all over again.
During our stay there, I really cherished the time together. I slept a lot. I talked to them and just created other memories with these people dear to me. These times don't always happen. So we made everything out of it.
As someone who enjoys the company of oneself, I really did take time to spend some time alone. I did my early walk and ran again. Yes. After months of putting it off, I did. And it felt good. I miss this time where I don't have to think about lots of things and just go jog, walk and repeat. Aiming for longer jogs, not caring about others and just being myself. After an hour, I rested and had my coffee from a vending machine. And this is my view, right here.
Doesn't this feel good? I felt the moment and just cleared my mind. I listened to Bo Sanchez podcast that morning and I felt God speaking to me.
Less is more. There were a handful that resonated during that time but this was the one that struck me most.
"What if the focus is on addition? We actually fast so we can have more space for God in our lives."
That makes enough sense.
With that, tomorrow is another holiday here in the Philippines and hurrah for a long weekend!
