Solidarity in Weakness (Henry J.M. Nouwen)

www.henrinouwen.org/books/overview/

Joy is hidden in compassion. The word compassion literally means "to suffer with." It seems quite unlikely that suffering with another person would bring joy. Yet being with a person in pain, offering simple presence to someone in despair, sharing with a friend times of confusion and uncertainty … such experiences can bring us deep joy. Not happiness, not excitement, not great satisfaction, but the quiet joy of being there for someone else and living in deep solidarity with our brothers and sisters in this human family. Often this is a solidarity in weakness, in brokenness, in woundedness, but it leads us to the center of joy, which is sharing our humanity with others.

    with unconditional love, a hidden treasure within human soul that belongs to “himpunan kosong”

    ^Pilgrim^

    Pilgrim, how you journey
    on the road you chose
    to find out why the winds die
    and where the stories go.
    All days come from one day
    that much you must know,
    you cannot change what’s over
    but only where you go.

    One way leads to diamonds,
    one way leads to gold,
    another leads you only
    to everything you’re told.
    In your heart you wonder
    which of these is true;
    the road that leads to nowhere,
    the road that leads to you.

    Will you find the answer
    in all you say and do?
    Will you find the answer
    in you?

    Each heart is a pilgrim,
    each one wants to know
    the reason why the winds die
    and where the stories go.
    Pilgrim, in your journey
    you may travel far,
    for pilgrim it’s a long way
    to find out who you are…

    Pilgrim, it’s a long way
    to find out who you are…

    Pilgrim, it’s a long way
    to find out who you are…

    (nerusin cerita). it was a friend of BV, inviting me to a reunion. I’ve never met her before. she’s speaking about human health recovery and its method. some keywords she said have attracted my attention.

    the first was unconditional love, and the second one was about convergency - many different paths that goes to one single point.

    it’s strange. what a coincindence! have you heard about mind connection or syncronicity? that is.

    let’s moving from math to modern physics..hehe

    well. Telos is one of intraterrestrial sites inside the earth that vibrates unconditionnal love energy (like Shambala, etc).
