In the fast-paced life of us, humans, where we hurry and scurry to accomplish that which we are tasked to do, quietness has lost its power. Even in the silence around us; even in the faux pax of solitude, deep inside each of us is a turmoil that can not be silenced. The human heart is deafened by a lot of voices coming from all directions; each of the distinctive sounds seeking to drown each other. The heart gets disoriented - confused. The heart no longer knows what to do; what to choose, where to go. With each of us chasing lofty dreams which are seemingly so distant, we sometimes get lost in the noise around us.

Long before we were born, God implanted in us an inherent ability - skill - talent that is ours and ours alone. I do not get sold to people saying, "I do not have any talent" referring to dancing or singing or drawing because God, in all His profound wisdom, made sure that we all are given our share of talents, skills and abilities because through these, we are able to go go about our roles as humans --- to fulfill our ministry in this world. Some people are good dancers. Very good in fact, that every time they move their bodies, they captivate their audience as their unified movements tell stories and permeate with raw emotions. No words are needed when dancers sway and move their hands and hips because all that is necessary is movement. That is talent. While everyone can move to the beat, not everyone are...
