and i found Him...



After that warm vacation in Tamaraw Resort in Peurto, Mindoro now it is something more than a rest but an encounter with the one who give the real rest as what St. Augustine said “our hearts is restless until it rest in thee.”

October 15 to 20 I made my directed retreat in Don Bosco Batolao, Batangas. It was a great experience of silencing of oneself to encounter the God that is always with us but most of the time neglected because of our “busy” life. I just want to share to you my reflections during these days in a form of poem and I hope you also feel and realized the feeling of searching then finding what you are looking for.

Just seeking for understanding

By john emmanuel

Why am I here?

In this place of the unknown

Why am I living such life?

A life that is unclear

What is it there for me?

Is this what I should be?

Questions that need to be answered

A search for meaning

A faith seeking for understanding

Things that are to be fathom

Question of the heart

Question of the mind

Is this what I should be?

A journey of essence

A deepening of existence

Questions to be answered

Questions to be cleared

A faith seeking for understanding

A life seeking for its meaning

Existence looking for its essence

Question of the heart

Question of the mind

A question of a man

With faith just seeking for understanding
