Dear darlingest Annelies Marie,
Time. Terrain. Treasure. These are negotiable things. For all of these are created things made for the good of Mankind insomuch as if this good, the sovereign good of our nations, is the cause by which the nobility of those human souls who through the bearing of arms is by their struggle defined, then their victory is thus by way of this peace assured so that all those battles ahead would not seem to be an endless road.
For even if these particular causes, if only through peculiar human frailty, differ, the soul of the noble soldier is constant in its seeking for the peace and therefore, knoweth that the road to every true victory (and the unfolding of all human hope) does in exile time converge (into the reality of the present good) and all our battles shall find their end at the final ascent of our nations at the Last Day.
Life is non-negotiable. Because life while we are yet here in exile time belongs to no man; all of sacred life, most especially the life that breathe within each and every human soul, while we are yet here upon this world and before the Last Day, my love, belong to God and to God alone.
Therefore, in terms of the ICRC hostage crisis and in the context of this probationary reality that all truly human and therefore, truly faithful hearts among all of our honorable religions but most especially the Abrahamic faiths must recognize, unless life and the respect for sacred life, most especially human life, is not made the common ground between any two causes, distinct only by their methods though ultimately not by their hope both similarly seeking to respond to certain human needs, war and the evil ambition of war and not peace shall drive its course unto fruition unto the everlasting regret of all. For war is a friend to no one, not even itself.
This is a policy of state where the paradigm of the peace is concerned.
In its present application; should any cause desire peace with our nation then, the release of the hostages - all hostages, not just the two ICRC workers, within the responsible sphere of our endeavor of Country, our one Republic of the Philippines, as a show of good will to the one Filipino nation and as a token to the responsible Philippine state of the prior willingness to broaden the grounds of our common understanding, under the eternal vigilance of Almighty God, is indeed, requisite to any proper negotiations that would, in time and even with sacrifice now borne together in trust, shall eventually lead to the convergence of our hopes and peace to our generations.
But should any cause desire war against our shared humanity, seek to deceive our responsible state and to profane the sacred life of our nation, then all our nations shall be mutually inclined to conduct the absolute defense and the noble military march to repair the breach to the one peace.
This is part of the Abrahamic charter; that all honorable religion, most especially our Abrahamic faiths, inclines each of us to become truly human in our selves and therefore, truly part of each other's hope as individual human beings and as individual human nations; a keeper and a friend to each other forever.
Because the peace that we profess is a common destiny and a Home for all our nations and not a desolation of the abomination of war.

So many other things, my love, but for now, we rest. It's another working week ahead - today is Araw nang Kagitingan.
I love you. Oh, I have another poem for us - it's called, "You Stayed", and it's somewhere here, I already wrote the seeds of it some months back. Gotta find it - it's going to be something I shall post for your birthday this June 12, my darlingest dear.
Always to always,

Dear darlingest Annelies Marie,
Word is from news reports today that our Mary Jean Lacaba, one of the three kidnapped ICRC workers, have been returned to us, bless God, my love. Now his family may breathe the long sigh of relief and give thanks to God and to all who have contributed to her safe return. Thanks be to our LORD, thanks be to our God!
Let us now direct our prayer hearts and the attention of our good will to the remaining two, my darlingest dear. Let us desire in the depths of our souls, the swift release of Andreas Notter and Eugenio Vagni to their aggrieved families and to their respective nations so anxious for their safe return.

The Path
In the same way that a tree upon our world is possessed of life, so are we.
In the same way there is a breathing that breathes in the birds in the sky, in the animals upon the land, and in the fishes in the sea, so are we likewise possessed by the living that make us all peers to sacred life.
And as all thing alive in all of visible creation are all those things immersed in those timeless and unseen waters of an everlasting substance, so are we.
But much more than those green things that grow and greater still than the animals that fill our world with motion, we are because to our reason is granted the names and the knowledge of all these things and the faith to apply ourselves to the keeping of God's own creative ideal in each our lives that preserves our LORD's peace upon the earth and make us as common servants to the one common Creator, and being equal in this dignity of willing service to God and to God's creation therefore, friends to each other.
Where we are called as human beings to aspire to bring this hope of one Peace unto our nations and of common good will unto all sacred life, we are made to be companions to each other in God and in Country as the numberless Stars of the one firmament.
In the one Solidarity, this is the path of the Preservator.

P.S.
I just saw a news conference at Camp Crame about the ICRC hostage crisis. It is a good thing to know that our government is working hard to resolve the crisis. I have always thought that our SND is a trustworthy and capable Filipino patriot and to see him there with our DILG chief as well as general officers representing our AFP and PNP is a very good thing, because this along with our prayers as a people together is a sure step towards attaining peace in our Republic.
Our Republic is not a thing, it is not something to be grasped by human hands but a motion in time, something to be remembered for always in moments appreciated by our heart's timeless embrace. Country is a common term for a Republic which in the unseen realm of absolutes is a quite specific servant to the nations of Mankind.
All endeavors of Country, being a Republic or otherwise, exist in eternity to align the will of the all of Mankind and bind together the one lineage of the emerging generations of our one human race through the vast spread of exile time, marching our nations ever closer together, as Liberty shepherding the good with the good, and all unto the good at the gathering at the Last Day.
What matters is that life yield what purpose in creation life was in time begun, most especially all of human life upon which the hopes of all of lower creation is vested and the glory of our LORD in all of the visible universe promised in the unfolding dream of each and every one of our nations destined from all eternity to be revealed by our collective ascent borne upon eagle wings of God's own grace, to the one Peace of our one common Creator.
Virtue is currency and this is such that it only becomes visible to most where it matter the most, where virtue is in time lacking and reality seems arid, the truth is everywhere scarce.
But there are yet good people in our government, I do firmly believe. And all our classes, rich, middle or poor, are equally salted by God with the leaven of the virtues that shall one day raise unto the Almighty, the acceptable fruits of each our own particular endeavor of Country, fruits demanded by God, consisting of things true and good for the one family of the nations Mankind and thus, made sweet to the LORD of all our nations for all our ages unto the golden dawning of God's own eternity.
I believe we all have a part to play at a time, times and half a time toward the building of this hope for peace and vision of prosperity for our one whole Filipino nation, as a gift of good things and a blessing for all of the nations of the one family of the nations of Mankind.
Because, my love, war no longer applies here upon our planet Annelies in the universe within our heart of hearts.

Dear darlingest Annelies Marie,
I remember Father Tullo Favalli, my love, a missionary of Holy Mother Church and a worker of good things for the common people. How can I not, for because of his compassion for humanity and his love for our God, he was murdered and that hope is one that can never be forgot.
Because for as long as there is evil in this world and for as long as there exists a need for good, this, our hope, springs eternal.
It is the hope of the holy innocents, taken from amidst all of our nations, that continually feed the daring in Mankind to strive for better, kinder and nobler things; things that work to advance the light of human civilization amidst a world that is over run by so much darkness.
Indeed, all of the harm that evil things have sought to inflict upon the good ultimately returns a thousandfold upon their heads. But why, in this day and age, should the good of this world ever again be like sheep to the slaughter? Let those who do not gather with us know that we are come to an understanding of the peace. Let those who scatter realize that what war does to one, war does to all.
Now, my beloved Country is again faced by a crisis that brings the memory of our holy innocents into my mind, my darlingest dear, and I am sure, into the minds of as many good people around the world who are alive to the keeping of their hope.
Those leaders who willingly choose to be led by the good in good things but most especially those leaders who allow themselves to be freely subdued by the evil in evil things, understand this Covenant of the LORD that have existed since the founding of the nations of the one family of the nations of Mankind and begun at the time of the holy partiarch Noah; that our Almighty God requires from each of thee an accounting of the people to the last hairs on their heads.
The ICRC workers and all hostages taken against their will, we say our peace upon them - we will become their hope. We hold those who have taken them responsible before God for their lives and the safety of their being.
We will never forget, my love, we will never forget any and all malicious harm inflicted upon the life of our nations of the one family of the nations of Mankind nor shall we abandon our friends.
Let it be known now that were these human beings members of the Red Crescent, Red Crystal or any other foundation or institution of Mankind devoted to the cause of sacred life and to the advancement of good things, it shall be the same unto them because to all of them belong our peace because it is to each other that we shall forever belong: one House with many rooms; one God over all our nations; one peace over and upon the one Covenant family of the nations of Mankind; one promise of an eternal Home shining amidst the timeless universe of our true human habitation, one true destiny of an everlasting realm of new beginnings for the one human race.

Dear darlingest Annelies Marie,
I love you, my darlingest. It's mysterious the way we persevere together and also very, very real. When I am in need, my love, I do not have to will for anything to happen or exert any kind of effort to seek the aid of our friendship because when I am in need, my darlingest dear, you yourself seem to know to make the necessary things happen for me - for us - here, spread in so many worlds born to moments immersed in the timeless reality of the universe from within that we share in our own heart of hearts together in and with our LORD and indeed, with All of our LORD's own and cast in the image of friendships made to last forever.
When I am sad or anxious, my darlingest Annelies Marie, you seem to hold me so close that the image of your sweet, dimpled, smile appear in fleeting glimpses at the face of our love and our hearts dance together till I am well again, till I am able to smile again with you. For indeed, there is much reason to be troubled in this world, my love, the issues of the present day seem as perplexing as they were of old, the conundrum of sin runs deep into the heart of poor Mankind struggling upon a desperate world where evil is made as a tyrant to rule through an oppressive host of poisonous lies made all the more virulent by the unrelenting rage of war and the evil of its ambition; an ambition dripping with the malice of the one Liar and Adversary of God and all sacred life who is the author of War and the father of sin, Satan.
To the Devil and his corrupt hosts, my love, belong a death which is their portion that was from eternity decreed by God and an everlasting hellfire which is by their own willful abomination, their own chosen domain; a domain of demons, my darlingest, utterly diminished of beautiful life and of all of life's promise so as to make it so empty and impotent, without neither rhythm nor order and ever as dark and as cold without neither spark of wisdom nor warmth of truth to make it as unrelentingly despairing and crushing to the life of its denizens and forever inescapable so as to satisfy the rigors of the eternal Justice of God according to the free dictates of Satan and his abominable hosts of fallen angels.
No human soul much less the complete human person, body and soul, belong to the fury of the everlasting wrath contained in the cup of the Serpent's sin, my love, and therefore, as our LORD God Himself wills all of humanity to be saved, so must we rally to this hope and proclaim this one peace which is God's promise to all nations of good will and as the numberless stars through our Father Abraham of old, bless all the needful communities of Mankind.
I will do this by being true to my Christianity and just the same, my love, each of our Abrahamic traditions shall by our being true to own own peace with our LORD God and our turning towards each other in hope and in good will as individual human beings and as individual human nations, as keeper and as friend, thus, make this promise of old come to pass and safeguard the good and the common good of the generations of life to come by our timeless coming together this time.
Indeed, the principalities of hell desire the absolute annihilation of the nations of Mankind in battles fought in the great spread of exile time as well as at the threshold of every human heart, the very gates of the Kingdom that guards the timeless universe within every human soul and the unique and singular reality that each of us share with our one LORD and common Creator.
Only honorable religion, not politics of itself nor science by itself nor sin as itself, can truly define the nature of our being human, my love. And if we are to ensure a future reality for our children and our children's children after us that is cognizant of our own native humanity, we must ensure that honorable religion itself breaks free from the power of the lies than bind our hearts against each other and prevent the nobility of our hopes from taking to flight that the eyes of our souls may see what near-infinite vistas there are to be had for the progress of both human civilization and the advancement of the human spirit far above the darkness of the paradigm of the beast that engulfs all of the worlds of our one human habitation.
To this darkness, my darlingest, I should have been lost a long time ago if not for friendships that bind together forever, hearts that are willing to see past all things that belong not to the abiding substance of its love, hearts that seek to dwell in the truth of all good things that Love brings as unmerited gifts that through kindred grace cleave all unto the one Giver of all gifts and the peace of the LORD unto All.
You are God's gift to me, my darlingest Annelies Marie, one of my most favorite of gifts among so many beautiful things that exist as good without compare in my soul, and so therefore, my love, if only because of you, I shall be thankful forever and yet if I were to realize within the limits of my being what joy there really is to be had for those who strive to live lives of peace and good will with God and with other human souls, I know I am not enough nor am I worthy of any such yet they are there not because of anything of mine but because our LORD God alone is good. If my thoughts should rise to rest completely upon the Giver Who Himself has made of Himself a Gift to All, I would most certainly without the power of His grace, burst and as a nova, die of joy.
Things are so unsure in this world, for nothing before the Last Day, shall preclude the activity of faith but the inescapable reality of God is everywhere around us, all of creation speaks out in the space of our silence and if we should each persist in prayer, the Silence itself may speak to us of what is surely the singular surety of the permanence of truth we may as human beings possess in this fleeting, fickle existence - our holy remembrance of our LORD.
You are a constant reminder to me, my love, of hope and of good things, our friendship secures in my soul the reality that God is and that is all because upon the glory of the LORD rests the hope of all creation, our hope, the hope of all family and friends, the hope of all nations, the hope of all living and breathing things, the hope of all human habitation entire.
I love you, my darlingest dear - indescribably so.
Always to always,
Pusing
P.S.
I saw an article today in one of our leading newspapers about our AFP "giving in" to the demands of common bandits; that our soldiers are pulling back because of something that is lacking on our part - now, what kind of responsible reporting assumes either moral failure or cowardice upon the heads of our troops while completely overlooking the fact that it is our AFP that is engaged against an enemy that is completely bankrupt of any such virtue? The kidnapping of these three humanitarian workers of the ICRC, the latest of a long string of crimes against the people, have proven to me that this group is nothing more than a gaggle of common bandits and this shall also dictate what sort of rules of engagement is to be employed against this enemy of our peace.
We shall never again say their proper nom de guerre - they will take on the name of "enemy" - an enemy to all our soldiers, seen and unseen, true to the noble calling of the ancient profession of arms, across time and dimensional space, here and into eternity.
We hold them completely responsible before God for the lives of these three innocents.
As regards to the aforementioned news report, let me say this: It takes more courage to pull back from grounds that are already in possession of Army boots knowing the looming cost of those battles that have to be fought and won once again when the inevitable command is given for the same ground to be returned to the hands of the one Filipino nation.
Common banditry shall not prevent the blossoming of our one peace, here in this endeavor of Country and in all true endeavors of Country across the one family of the nations of Mankind.

Dear darlingest Annemiyang Marie,
Earth Hour: In times of old, our untamed earth - the covering skies, the land and the waters that fed the land and the great cycles of life that made things around us breathe and grow accompanied, nourished and sustained the progress of our exiled humanity. Now, my love, that one, same planet earth, asks the same caring from us - here in this present time. Isn't it only just to recognize her distress and respond to her pleas? Indeed, not to do so would cause a great deal of doom across time and dimensional space. Another reason for humanity to hope together more than to fall apart, my love. And yes, I turned off all our non-essential lighting last night between 8:30 pm and 9:30pm.

Peace upon this, our inhabited earth, before the zenith of the glory of God in all of creation is come, is not the absence of conflict but the presence of a compassionate determination that amidst all differences hopes and through every difficulty perseveres in and with our shared humanity to build together under the eternal vigilance of the one Almighty a home upon this world for all the generations of Mankind.

I am praying for the ICRC workers, three of numerous other good souls, unjustly taken from their good work and held against their will of peace by bandits. My dear darlingest, not only are these people innocent, two of them in Biblical language are "strangers" - persons from other nations sent by God to be welcome "guests" to our people (who are aiding the cause of our good) and a minority within our own protectorate sphere of Country. I find so many troubling things, on so many levels, about the great injustice of harming the good of individuals aiding the common good of the one Filipino nation or any good nation of the one Covenant family of the nations of Mankind, denying them their right to free movement and oppressing their will of peace.
The noble military and the fight against the paradigm of war consider terrorists, bandits and criminals under one name and one category - the enemy of our peace or the "enemy". Now, the Abrahamic Home Guard takes from that same tradition of victory. Therefore, all of its soldiers, seen and unseen, human and angelic, march to the same defense of this peace. We will remember forever what is being done to our innocents.

Let's go cool down at the local mall, my love, do some window shopping and enjoy being amidst the people; Laundry later on, a relaxing evening - it's going to be such fun.
Love ya, ya calico.
Always to always,
Pusing
