"Tuesday's occupation."--- ♡A day can feel like a year because of the depths of its long hours. In just an hour, something can forever change. In just a minute, a decision can steer you into a different direction. Even in a mere second, you can go back and forth between life and death. And within the circumstances time holds you can find yourself in a constant pressing process of reason and principle, truth and lie, hope and fear, and other chasms of existence we are destined to bridge.

Chasms condensed in a day with its concrete and abstract forces. Forces that dictate encounters such as the prying question from a distant associate, and that insensible calculation of human limitation to trivialize exhaustion. The intention of words and actions piquing your consciousness and conscience. The nuances of impressions and the semantics of utterances and responses all claiming a virtue. ---The pulse of the flesh, the voice of the Spirit --- Intentions, nuances, and claims --- each one changing a man's hours, steering his minutes, and having his seconds go back and forth life and death. This makes a day a heavy thing to carry because the hours are full, the minutes too powerful, and the seconds too infinite.

We pay for an existence we can live for free,
By having matters so simple
complicated beyond need.

A young schoolboy with a paper airplane in his hand passed by outside our gate. It was almost noon and the heat was uncomfortably felt already. But the little boy and his paper airplane walked bare under the sun with nothing to shield him except his childhood. He held an unhurried gait and contrasted the day's hurried scene. The picture was both a delight and a strong rebuke. Strangely, I wished I could afford a paper airplane once more. -apG

Never lose earth in heaven, nor heaven in earth. The space obscured, but distinction vivid. The idealism crossing to and fro is wearisome but fruitful nonetheless. "Finite --- to fail. Infinite --- to venture." To be human yet immortal is a dovetailing endeavor in the flesh but of the Divine. When we are tired of earth, are we closer to heaven? When we are led by heaven, are we lost to earth?
Do not look to me for testimony. I lay here exhausted and passionate in between. Looking at...seeking Jesus, the meeting point of heaven and earth, the axis where our hopes and fears commune and concede.

You have a position
the title is short
Even before it is uttered
Life has expounded itself
Without any political es**rt

Think not therefore you have a crown
Nor believe your dignity is on a pedestal
Above others and beyond reach
For those who fly high
Falls perfectly in a ditch

Humanity is shared
Despite position or titles
Though society is a monopoly
A game of hide and seek.

The wicked man became a millionaire
Gained his riches through a gamble
But continues to live on stolen land
Pursuing still his work in the dark
like it was his work of art

I guess what you can afford bears no consequence to your soul ---
--- Neither for improvement nor for repentance,
Only decadence and indulgence---
---from want of depth, virtue, and experience
It does nothing to one who has nothing
For wealth cannot resuscitate decay
It most likely aggravates man's old ways

How well wealth plays with man!
Putting a price on everything
Bribing virtue and meaning
to be irrelevant premises of living.

💫What a force it is to wonder
To long and to feel
To ponder one after another

And dance between truth and ideals
To taste the excitement of cherished hope
And relish magnificence in its eternal scope

Oh to be small to be blessed with great bliss ---
--- humbled in its profound glory
As your spirit is cradled in Divine abyss.

Ghibli 💜Immersive realism—the philosophy of giving everyday, mundane actions the same meticulous attention to detail as fantastical elements. It bridges the gap between the familiar and the magical, making imaginary worlds feel like they could actually exist.
