Today is a wonderful day. Or maybe I should write everyday is a wonderful day. But particularly today, because today is a very very special day for me. I'm going back to the place where all this thing started; Taize! Oh yes, all the things that happened to me on these past 3 years; Manila, Glasgow, and my decision to become a social worker. It's all began in Taize on summer 2008.
It's a long long way to get back here. Saving money while I was working in Glasgow, then all the way through Germany, Romania, and Italy. Started the journey by train on 07.05 am from Milano Centrale - Ventimiglia, - Nice - Avignon - Lyon Part Dieu - Macon Ville, then continued by a local bus from Macon Ville to this small village.
Soon I got off from the bus, I can see my self smile very wide seeing those young people was taking their supper in the field. Today's menu is pasta! And then, that moment which I've been waited and dreamed for these last 3 years eventually came up; see the bell of Taize! Ahahaha oh my God, oh my God! Seeing Casa, La Morada, people queueing up in the Big Kitchen. I AM IN TAIZE ONCE AGAIN! :D
The evening prayer just beautiful! Slava Tiebe Boze, Magnificat 3, In Ressurectione Tua Christe, La Tenebre, and with the candle! For me, being back in the Church of Reconciliation was just extraordinary experience. In these past 3 years, because I have such a strong feeling to go back to Taize once more, every time I sing Taize song and close my eyes, suddenly I feel like I'm inside the Church of Reconciliation. But now I'm totally and realistically inside this beautiful church! I don't know but somehow I feel that the roof is getting lower and the church has several new doors? Haha.
Another crazy things also happened. I was so afraid I can't met some of my friends that I already know in advance that they're in Taize on the same week with me. But somehow, destiny wants me to meet them all in one day! Even friends that I didn't expected to meet, and our last meeting is three years ago! It's just wonderful wonderful!
