* from Angel 24-7*

They're Playing Your Song
By Alan Cohen

When a woman in a certain African tribe knows she is pregnant, she goes out into the wilderness with a few friends and together they pray and meditate until they hear the song of the child. They recognize that every soul has its own vibration that expresses its unique flavor and purpose. When the women attune to the song, they sing it out loud. Then they return to the tribe and teach it to everyone else.
When the child is born, the community gathers and sings the child's song to him or her. Later, when the child enters education, the village gathers and chants the child's song. When the child passes through the initiation to adulthood, the people again come together and sing. At the time of marriage, the person hears his or her song.
Finally, when the soul is about to pass from this world, the family and friends gather at the person's bed, just as they did at their birth, and they sing the person to the next life.
When I have shared this story in my lectures, a fair amount of people in the audience come to tears. There is something inside each of us that knows we have a song, and we wish those we love would recognize it and support us to sing it. In some of my seminars I ask people to verbalize to a partner the one phrase they wish their parents had said to them as a child. Then the partner lovingly whispers it in their ear. This exercise goes very deep, and many significant insights start to click. How we all long to be loved, acknowledged, and accepted for who we are!
In the African tribe there is one other occasion upon which the villagers sing to the child. If at any time during his or her life, the person commits a crime or aberrant social act, the individual is called to the center of the village and the people in the community form a circle around them. Then they sing their song to them. The tribe recognizes that the correction for antisocial behavior is not punishment; it is love and the remembrance of identity. When you recognize your own song, you have no desire or need to do anything that would hurt another.
A friend is someone who knows your song and sings it to you when you have forgotten it. Those who love you are not fooled by mistakes you have made or dark images you hold about yourself. They remember your beauty when you feel ugly; your wholeness when you are broken; your innocence when you feel guilty; and your purpose when you are confused.
If you do not give your song a voice, you will feel lost, alone, and confused. If you express it, you will come to life. We attract people on a similar wavelength so we can support each other to sing aloud. Sometimes we attract people who challenge us by telling us that we cannot or should not sing our song in public. Yet these people help us too, for they stimulate us to find greater courage to sing it.
You may not have grown up in an African tribe that sings your song to you at crucial life transitions, but life is always reminding you when you are in tune with yourself and when you are not. When you feel good what you are doing matches your song, and when you feel awful, it doesn't.
In the end, we should all recognize our song and sing it well. You may feel a little warbly at the moment, but so have all the great singers.
Just keep singing and you'll find your way home.

Sino Si Ederlyn?

Christmas break noon nang makatanggap ako ng text message na inakala kong hindi para sa akin. Ang sabi kasi:

"Uy, invited daw tayo sa b-day party ni Ederlyn mamayang 8pm. Text-text na lang ha! Kita-kits!"

Sumakit ang ulo ko sa kaiisip kung sino si Ederlyn sa buhay ko. Nang may kalahating oras na at wala pa rin akong matandaang babaeng may ganoong pangalan ay kinumbinse ko ang aking sarili na ito ay pakana ng kung sinong nais magpatawa.
Sino si Ederlyn, ang tanong ng lahat ng pinadalhan ko ng text na iyon. Tinawanan ko na lamang. Naloka nga ako nang magreply ang isa kong kaibigan from Naga, oo daw pupunta daw siya. Susme, nagkataon palang may kakilala talaga siyang Ederlyn! Kung hindi ko pala binawi ang joke ay malamang nagpunta siya sa bahay ng Ederlyn na iyon.
At kung inakala kong doon matatapos ang isyung Ederlyn na iyan ay nagkakamali pala ako dahil nang pumasok ang taong 2007, may natanggap na naman akong mensahe:
"Sa lahat ng pumunta kagabi, maraming salamat. Sa mga hindi naman nakapunta, okei lang. Sana lang nag-text kayo at makabawi next time."- Ederlyn
Hehehe, muntik rin akong makumbinsi na may Ederlyn ngang umasa sa pagdating ko sa birthday niya. Alam kong tulad ko rin, ang mga kaibigan ko ay naghihintay ng bagong development sa istorya ng misteryosang babaeng ito.

"Ang ganda mo pala sa personal! Salamat sa pag-imbita ulit - Tirso
At nagkaroon na yata ng bagong twist, lumitaw na may nakarating naman pala sa birthday party ni Ederlyn.
Nang nakaraang Biyernes, natanggap ko ito:
"NAGBABAGANG REBELASYON. Madaming nagtatanong. Kinukwestiyon ang pagkatao niya. Handa na siyang humarap sa publiko at sagutin lahat ng katanungan sa kanya. Ilalabas na rin niya ang kanyang hinanakit sa diumanong nilangaw na b-day celebration niya. EDERLYN babasagin ang katahimikan. EKSKLUSIBO, Sa LINGGO, LIVE SA THE BUZZ!"
Hay, ano naman kaya ang kasunod nito? Hehehe. Abangan natin ang susunod na kaabanata
