Dear OS colleagues, I would like to share with you a poem I wrote today!
The Edge in Open Spaces
by: Carmela Ariza
5:53PM, Manila, 30 January 2015
Sitting by the lake
Where no water is seen
Still, our thirst is quenched
We were frightened
Anxious as we sat by the edge
As it was far from our usual scheme
Were we on the bum?
Journeying together with very rough provisions
Not a table, nor a slide to slip into
I can’t deny it
The edge indeed
Made us feel edgy!
It’s not that this was our first
We’ve been by this lake before
Yet now we see and feel and hear
The open space that breaks us open
As disconcerting as it may seem
It felt good for the many
I have to admit, that although
To each one - time and space were given
The edge drives through in kairos, never in chronos moments!

Love,
Carms True happiness is a state of mind.
Happiness is not a consequence of things that happen.
Do not pursue happiness - practice it.
Sing, even if you do not sound good.
Smile, even when things go wrong.
Create happiness, and happy you will be.
