Here I am at one of my favorite places in the world,—starbucks…
why? I don’t know, the smell of coffee does intrigue me and makes me feel like home.
I am doing internship, which is a whole new experience for me.
And also, I succumed to this verse, when I looked for “escape from everything else,” and really wrapped into my own utopia—
Psalms 88—
A song. A psalm of the Sons of Korah. For the director of music. According to mahalath leannoth. A maskil of Heman the Ezrahite.
1
O LORD, the God who saves me,
day and night I cry out before you.
2 May my prayer come before you;
turn your ear to my cry.
3 For my soul is full of trouble
and my life draws near the grave.
4 I am counted among those who go down to the pit;
I am like a man without strength.
5 I am set apart with the dead,
like the slain who lie in the grave,
whom you remember no more,
who are cut off from your care.
6 You have put me in the lowest pit,
in the darkest depths.
7 Your wrath lies heavily upon me;
you have overwhelmed me with all your waves.
Selah
8 You have taken from me my closest friends
and have made me repulsive to them.
I am confined and cannot escape;
9 my eyes are dim with grief.
I call to you, O LORD, every day;
I spread out my hands to you.
10 Do you show your wonders to the dead?
Do those who are dead rise up and praise you?
Selah
11 Is your love declared in the grave,
your faithfulness in Destruction ?
12 Are your wonders known in the place of darkness,
or your righteous deeds in the land of oblivion?
13 But I cry to you for help, O LORD;
in the morning my prayer comes before you.
14 Why, O LORD, do you reject me
and hide your face from me?
15 From my youth I have been afflicted and close to death;
I have suffered your terrors and am in despair.
16 Your wrath has swept over me;
your terrors have destroyed me.
17 All day long they surround me like a flood;
they have completely engulfed me.
18 You have taken my companions and loved ones from me;
the darkness is my closest friend.
And as of the last sentence: “the darkness is my closest friend,” I do hope the light is my closest friend for Jesus is the light.
I have been talking to this one good friend today and life, and I can see that letting go of friends are easy to do, and when you REALLY hang out with the ones that loves you and really want to see you for who you are, then you are really joyful and happy.
I also noticed that if you don’t really be part of collectivism, as of opposed to individualism, your signing and reception are decreased… Deaf people are collective and need so much information exchanged, that is why American Sign Language is inclusive. I decided to work with deaf people, although I am nervous and really scared of the outcome.
Yeah, I haven’t gone to church for two weeks or so. I really don’t care.
I really want to take so many pictures around me and really, post up the issues that people go through everyday. That’s why I really want to meet random people and learn good stuff, hehe lol.
Well, I got to go back to work, searching for the papers in spanish and make a portfolio out of it. fun, eh?
