Memories and the Call
Memories can be painful,
To forget may be a blessing.
All the sadness one can bear,
Down the river everywhere.
Kung Fu Hustle
I know, I know! I should be excoriated for bringing this back again but the opportunity was too good to let it pass by just like that! Like that opportunity to get the VCD of "Kung Fu Hustle", of which I am now a proud owner of. And that I finally get to utter those 'words of wisdom' which I was desperately trying to remember from the movie. The last challenge now is to say that in Cantonese or Mandarin!
As for the courage to answer my call to the priesthood, as someone wanted to know, it wasn't easy but for that time, it was the fitting and right thing to do and I followed my heart even though my head was still dithering, despite all the necessary indications given. The memories of those earlier stage of discernment weren't painful but, rather, gave a serene and strikingly crisp sense of inner peace that cannot be understood with just the intellect. At the end of it all, no guarantees were given except that if I was to follow this through, it would be an adventure of a lifetime. What an adventure it has been since then!...
