Justice delay

There ought to be law providing prescription on arbitrary detention. Take the case of Leila de Lima. She has been in detention since 2017 or about 6 years already. If the evidence tilt to guilt, the court must render its verdict. The burden of proof is in the prosecutor. Doubt should be a major consideration. The constitution says a suspect is presumed innocent unless proven otherwise. Six years is quite long for the court and the prosecution to prove her guilt. Meanwhile, a person presumed innocent is already suffering the penalties of the crime. The law ought to castigate the judges and legal parties for their failure to resolve the case at the expense of the accuse. The law ought to charge them with neglect and dereliction of duty and the case be regarded as whimsical. The bottomline is that the court must sentence her, or release her pronto. That goes for others who are suffering the same fate as De Lima. "Iustitiam morari iniustitia est" - " to delay justice is inju

The connection

When we went out there in the wild, the beaches, rivers, lakes and sea. When we traversed the mountain trail, or explored the uncharted jungle. When we camped out amid the sound of birds and rustling leaves. We became ecstatic. Our mood changed. The feeling of serenity and tranquility took over our senses. Suddenly our eyes recognized and appreciated the natural wonders. There was familiarity and comfort even without the amenities of modern living. Our mind wandered in unfathomable pleasure, as if, we were peeking, through the door of freedom. We slided in to being soulish. Why is that? Maybe because we are connected to it.

I am that

I  am that I thought I am not; Nothing less than the speck of the Divine; Created in their likeness, born In their consciousness; Time and again I was sent here to learn; To take on a new garment, to mirror Christ consciousness; The cycle made me believe that this is my home; but it is not; I am not from this place; I am from everywhere; I am an ember, that once dwell in the eternal flame, a spark from the greatest perpetual light, yet undiminished; I am a being that has been part of the all, even before my eartlhy beginning; I came from the source of all sources... I am part of the ALL; I came from the ONE that has no beginning and no end; I am eternal as he, the FATHER, for I am a parcel of HIM as everyone else; I faltered, I was on a slumber, but in his time I will shine beyond this garment; When brightness finally took away my darkness, he will let me come home ... to join the great light...one with his perpetuity... one with his glory.
