Still in the Underworld, I am in a pain worse than the illness I was struck with two weeks ago. My 21-year-old college kid is in the emergency room on the other side of the world and there is nothing I can do but wait for a phone message that he’s okay. It’s been five hours since the last message.
I am like a corpse on a meat hook, waiting for salvation. No crown, no lapis lazuli necklace, no beads, no breastplate, no bracelets, no measuring rod, no robe.
Powerless. Vulnerable. Nude.
This is my birthday gift: a reminder of what is important. Love.
Ang mahalaga ay ang mahal.

Love, Lust, Liberty,
