Pinoy Apologista

PILOSOPIYA NG PAGNANASA, PALASO NG PILOSOPO

Tulad ni Jonas

Ilang beses kong ninasa at tinangkang lumayo sa Iyo

Tulad ni Jonas, tinakbuhan ang panawagang nagpapadugo ng puso.

Oo, ako’y nananatili sa lugar panawagan Mo,

Ngunit sa likod, ang puso’y di naman lubos na Iyo.[1]

Kaya’t ginamit Mo ang ‘sintang lubos’ ng puso

Upang ako’y duguan at luhaang bumalik sa Iyo.[2]

[1] Tingnan ang himong “Come Thou Fount” – 3rd Stanza. At saka yung parang sinabi ni San Agustin, “You were within me, but I was outside…You called, you shouted, and you broke through my deafness. You flashed, you shone, and you dispelled my blindness.” (St. Augustine, ‘Confessions,’ Book 10).

[2] Proverbs 3:11-12; Hebrews 12:6-13

A Filipino writer who focuses on the theology of the ‘Passion’ from a Humean perspective. The ink of his pen comes from the ghost of the fallen, shamed, broken, backstabbed, wounded, forsaken, and betrayed. He himself went through that ‘life and death’ ordeal. Paradoxically, he is both dead and alive.
