I was surfing the internet getting updates from friends, today is Good Friday and for the first time in years I had abstained from watching tv. Tapping and clicking away in the internet, I stumbled upon the inspiring homily of gratitude and tribute of Fr. Danny Huang to Fr. Joe Galdon. And, as I read through the black and white lines, I remembered what I missed most during this past few months. In his homily, Fr. Danny claimed that Fr. Galdon taught him how to read, write and teach - in aspects that "deepened and honed not only his mind but his humanity".
It's quite ironic that in a profession such as mine that deals with human body, I miss the feeling of being deepened up to the core of humanity. No one in my world talks or even thinks about humanity - we're to busy being doctors (or at least we think we are.)
Sometimes in a cave - like the one I'm feeling I'm in now, you find yourself in the abyss, in the silence, in the nothingness. Perhaps, to agree with the general theme of the season - death is necessary to feel alive once again. I needed this moment, this cave, this "stuckness" to feel alive again.
