True north

Filed under spirituality

TK here tells his daughter about the true north.

True north could mean many things if taken figuratively. It could mean a person’s moral compass, or simply, our conscience, that part of ourselves that bugs us until we give in to it and do what it asks. It could be taken to mean our intuition, that quiet part of ourselves that knows and understands things even if these are irrational. It could be understood an artist’s reservoir of creative wealth.

We got all these from one Source, to which we are all connected.

A teacher taught me recently about the concept of the “center,” that part of ourselves that is connected to the Source. Awareness of that Source spells the difference between peace and quiet, love and hate, and acceptance and discrimination.

My quest is about finding my place under the sun. I still don’t know where I would be five years from now, but I trust that in time, some sort of pull would point me to the way, and then I would know.

  5. TK Said,

    my wife’s name is Arleen– One of the reasons why I really like you two. And I did love watching/reading harper lee’s magnum opus.

  6. stoxbnx3 Said,

    kala ko ikaw si ayheen? :D or nick yan ng wife mo?

  7. kirk Said,

    wow, antindi pa rin ng hangover mo sa bundok. :D good luck with your search. i’m also still struggling but i guess, i’m doing quite fine. :)

  8. stoxbnx3 Said,

    ha? eh hindi naman yan all about the bundok. i wrote that entry in reaction to TK’s post.

    teka, ma-edit nga.

  9. TK Said,

    Ayheen is Arleen’s nickname. yung only sister nya, who passed away when they were in their teens, couldn’t pronounce the “R” nung toddlers pa sila. the nickname stuck.

    BTW, si TK ay lalaki (hey, nobody’s perfect, y’know)

  10. stoxbnx3 Said,

    ah okay. magkalapit lang pala pangalan namin. :)

    alam ko naman pong lalaki ikaw. pwede naman kasing panglalaki ang name na ayheen eh. hehe.
