Weird title for a post. But I named it that cause of one thing I saw a while ago. Anyway. First legit Christmas break day :D after days of full schedules. Another full sched tomorrow, but hey, better than rotting here at home playing all day o_o My brother's friends came over for some game time with him and I think he had fun. Also, my cousin from Canada brought his games and I'm happy to say he had fun too :) him not having any brothers to play with there in Canada makes it all the more awesome to see him having fun and being part of the boys :> I also cooked (read: microwaved) food for them, cause I felt guilty after eating so much canned goods o_O oh well growing boy's gotta eat.
I also went out to get my gift for my brother and to go to confession. Turns out there was no schedule today but it still felt good to just sit and take in the solemn church. Also, when I got my brother's gift, I bought them bibingka which is something I think we all enjoyed, especially my cousin who rarely gets to taste such treats.
So, overall, today was a pretty fun day :)
Now, the title of the post. While I was waiting for confession, I heard a soft meow to my left and found a little kitten looking at me. I smiled, cause I rarely see something so innocent. I then spotted a little girl talking to her mom who has going to lead the Rosary there. Something then sparked in my mind. The idea that the kitten was somehow the animal spirit of the girl. I just felt, in my mind, that the two had something between them. The little kitten then walked towards the front, where the girl spotted and petted him/her. And I smiled, because I remembered the innocence of childhood and youth in these two souls. They may not really be part of each other, but they served as a reminder to me, amidst all this chaos, that innocent souls exist, and that is what we strive to protect in this world. What I will strive to protect and care for in this world, as a doctor and as a person.
"When we are children we seldom think of the future. This innocence leaves us free to enjoy ourselves as few adults can. The day we fret about the future is the day we leave our childhood behind" - Patrick Rothfuss

P.S. Good thing I didn't go to Sirak today. I sense the pattern forming. And I don't even like talking about it. More on it some other time maybe. When it can't be held back anymore.
