'Fulfillment' Defined
I went to a dear friend's daughter's wedding - exquisite, with a string quartet at the church! And the reception - simply elegant, in one of the top hotels at the Peninsula. Towards the end of the reception, I asked my friend, Zita, the mother of the bride, "How does it feel?"
One word said it all, "Fulfilled."

Holy Week, Rituals, etc.
From Palm Sunday to Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Black Saturday to Easter Sunday...
Went to church today and I didn't know there was a service going on. Just got back from MNL so I didn't know the schedule of services for the Holy Week here.
But I love rituals, ceremonies - the Holy Mass, Stations of the Cross, Holy Communion, and not just the Catholic ceremonies, but Jewish rituals, Buddhism, Hinduism, Moslem, etc., and not just religious, but anything! A dance is a ritual! Music is a ritual! Writing poetry, an essay, a story, etc., is a ritual. Walking, talking, sleeping, waking up, having a nap, making love, oh, what a beautiful ritual! Bathing, cleaning, cooking, eating, gardening, and on and on and on...an afternoon tea is a ritual, a beautiful ceremony. Everything we do is a ritual. Every breath is a ritual. Life is a ritual. It is sacred, it is beautiful. And living life well is a beautiful ritual. Let's honor it. Let's enjoy it - Enjoy Life!
April Fools' Day
It's April Fools' Day
Don't be fooled
April Fools' Day
Don't be tooled
April Fools
Be cool.
