MOVING ON

(one of the most memorable poems I read way back high school days---I remember our class in "Christian Living" being tasked to "disassemble" and "make sense" and more of something from this poem. But I recall snatches of what got me into thinking more: I have felt something solemn, truthful, courageous, and strong from reading, & rereading this poem, and have understood these traits are guiding posts on how to best lead a more fruitful, purposeful life.... and I just chanced to see it somewhere beneath the reams of the pages of Facebook; the wonders, indeed, of today's social networking!

And that it's from the book "Letters to My Son: A Father's Wisdom on Manhood, Life, and Love" by Kent Nerburn (visit his site?) , and co-written with Richard Carlson (and the "article" is in Chapter 26). Note: I hope I did better this time! :D But what the heck, go find your life partners, for all you unhappy singles out there!

Hope everyone who finds time to read this forwarded message, will also find in his / her heart the courage to actually do the hard work needed to come up with a good choice for a life partner! Note: Of course, I would not check the veracity of the facts behind the story, i.e. if this is just one of the mild concoctions of one frustrated writer (or more) out in the world wide web. But please feel free to share, anyway!!! If not, do as you please. Happy searching for a life partner!

Good for you! =) > > > > PARTNERS AND MARRIAGE > > Eduardo Calasanz was a student at the Ateneo de Manila University, > Philippines where he had Father Ferriols as a professor. > Father Ferriols, at that time, was the Philosophy department head. > Currently he still teaches Philosophy
