hakuna matata

months ago, when going through some major rifts that involved quite a few people, and most especially threatened the stability of my relationship with Ed, i had fears that we would both cower and run towards our various hiding places. instead, we stuck it through and found refuge in one another. i was amazed at how he was able to stand up for me, and in return i never turned my back on him as well. it was a happy feeling knowing that he’d be willing to give up ANYTHING for me.

i never had as much feeling of satisfaction before – knowing that someone always prays for you, wishes you good health, and is happy when you’re happy. last night, me and Ed had another one of those nights wherein we just watched the world go by. most people say it is an amazing feat to be able to just sit down, shut up for a minute and comfortably share a silence with another person.

Hakuna Matata! What a wonderful phrase
Hakuna Matata! Ain't no passing craze
It means no worries for the rest of your days
It's our problem-free philosophy

this was a comment he dropped at my friendster page a few months back. “hakuna matata” is a Swahili phrase which literally means “no worries”. it almost made me cringe. i was glad i can finally rest my worries and just be happy with this person. that is my wealth.

highlights of my relationship rune reading

I’m a believer of the power of the supernatural. All humans are bestowed with the capacity for logic and choice. But for ages, conflicting beliefs exist as to whether we make our own fate or an invisible hand(?) is working things out in our lives despite of our own choices.

I just gotten myself into this site which offers free rune readings, numerology, and the like. The significance of some have struck me to believe that there could be some reality to them.

“The Cross spread is used to plot the arc of your life and the forces acting on it. It…[gives] a very complete view of the situation.

The left rune represents an important element of the past. Nyd is frequently seen as a negative rune. [But] you have drawn the rune reversed, which will lessen some of its effects.

The middle rune is a deciding element of the present. Ehwaz is the rune of the eight-legged horse that the god Odin rode into battle…[H]orses symbolize motion towards an objective. In a deeper level, [it] evokes the unique relationship of horse and rider as an inseparable team. To the Norse, it was a total union.

The bottom rune {Ken}…brings forth images of friendship and comfort. Ken is the light of inspiration, the light of imagination, and a beacon in the darkest hours.

The right rune represents the critical element of the future. Eoh refers to the Yew tree. The Yew does not go dormant and therefore represents endurance. Even the wood of the tree is strong, resilient, and pliable – the Yew bends, but does not break.

As for my relationship, it does not hurt to have a little faith.
