Last Saturday I went to Calamba to be with the Aspirants' Community. I left Manila at around 5 pm. There were so many passengers but I was lucky to get a seat. The alley of the bus were filled with passengers standing all the way to Calamba. When it was my turn to get off, the alley was already cleared.
I just walked going to Carmel Valley. I felt confident at first because it is just a short distance. But when I arrived at the Postulants' House of the Dominicans, it was very dark. I felt a little hesitant to walk all the way but I have no choice. I have already informed the sisters that I will just walk.
When I entered the dark part of the road I realized that it was not at all dark. It seemed so dark looking at it under the lamp post but once I am inside that darkness it was not at all dark. I could see the road and the outlines of the trees lining the way.
It dawned on me that I just have to brave the darkness. Once I am in there, the darkness will show me the way and even accompany me towards the light.
In life, there will always be dark sides as well as light sides. It is so easy to live in the lighter side of life and not so easy to live the darker side but that night, I have learned that when darkness comes I just have to walk through it and it will lead me to the light again.
