In the Belly of the Whale

This would have to be the loooooooooonggggggggest two months of my life! Para akong nasa tiyan ng balyena. Cf the story of Jonah, di sya pumunta sa Nineveh where God wanted him to go, he went somewhere else, so kinain sya ng balyena! Niluwa sya papunta dun sa Nineveh na mismo, when he realized what God wanted him to do and where He wanted him to go. This book, Everything Belongs, by Fr Richard Rohr says that these days we don't have to literally be in the belly of the whale but the times when we have to reflect, meditate, contemplate are like times spent in the belly of the whale. Haha, there's hope for me yet. I keep the faith!
