Love =)

Letting your love surround me... =)

Thanks for the reminder that whenever we look at patients, we are looking at a soul who is in physical need, rather than just a procedure that we go through for physical exam...

Power comes with responsibility. How often is that phrase mentioned ever since spiderman. But yes, its pretty true. Being able to create this kind of magic at such a level, misusing this could turn pretty nasty.

Touched by the kindness of a neighbour who gave freely in spite of unavailability to attend the concert. Sudden, yet impactful. Timely reminders are good to have. =)

Could we ever create a world without tears? Tears of sorrow can be eliminated.... depends on how much we give out of ourselves.... depends on how every mindset changes... Possible? Someday, yes.

A delayed post for the reaffirmed feeling i felt yesterday towards ppl who have leprosy, who are in need. Imagine how a leper, who no longer has feeling in his distal extremities, reaching out to you with whats left of him... his face covered with lepromatous leprosy, lumps and bumps, with areas necrosed beyond recognition, you would wonder if that was actually... human. Would you know that he was once alright as well? Just like you and me? Nope, you would never see it that way cos man cannot look beyond looks. Vision overrides everything else. Ever wondered when was the last time his rotting hands were touched by a human touch? Months? Years? Tens of years maybe? I was touched... were you?

Teach us Father, to have this compassion for others who are sick. Not to view them just as they are... maybe they could be struggling to breathe, struggling in pain, afflicted beyond recognition, BUT teach us. Let us remember who they once were, who they are to their family, a mother? a father? They are people like us... teach us to reach out. help. beyond. what the eyes sees. the judgement of the eyes.
