On the Canvas of Society
While you watch this video, allow me to share
with you some words as a backdrop or
background of this video.
What follows is an excerpt from Joey
Velasco's speech at the start of his Book
Launching and First Solo Exhibit in Art Asia.
His book is entitled "They Have Jesus: The
Stories of the Children of Hapag" and was
launched on Oct. 13, 2006.
-excerpt starts-
Jesus Christ never wrote a book. The only
scene in the Gospel where we saw him write
was on the sand. But what he wrote was blown
by the wind. What was etched in our minds
forever in history and in eternity was his
preference for the outcasts and rejects.
In the future, I will be like the sand that
will be blown by the wind. I will remain an
unknown artist and writer. I will soon be
forgotten. May the things I wrote in which I
commit myself, be etched forever.
Countless books have been written in the past
about the triumph of the human spirit and
about great men who were larger than life.
This simple book purports to share the
stories of a handful of small lives whose
voices are often unheard and whose tiny
dreams are shattered before they can even
take form. I just allowed them to speak for
themselves even amidst the environment of
cynicism. Their story does not seem much
because it is so simple, but it is definitely
deep because it speaks of and mirrors the
ills of society.
I have learned from them that immersion or
"sawsaw suka" is not enough, just for the
feel-good-effect. Presence is the name of the
game. Presence is what we are called for.
I do not aim to do a Mother Theresa here or
to fire up a grand vision like that of the
great Tony Meloto whose environmental and
social reengineering of Gawad Kalinga is
becoming global. I am aware that I am surely
not a powerful force to advocate change that
will prevent hunger and raise funds. I am not
a wealthy person. I am just a painter. I
cannot be a front liner of any movement. But
I know I can make a difference. This is my
personal healing and transformative journey
through the children's pain, hope, faith, and
liberation that can reach across generations
and cultures.
I wrote this book not out of conceit or in
order to highlight the rare privilege of
having painted with and from the heart. I am
not sharing my strength as an artist or as a
writer, but my weakness as a fellow
journeyer, who witnessed these children
drifting in the dark. Initially, I thought
they were lost only to find out in the end
that I was the one who was actually lost. It
is not a testimony of how I pitied poor
children. It is an acknowledgement of God's
abounding compassion for me. I am writing
this to share how the Lord Himself painted
through me and continues to give His message
of hope and unconditional love through my
humble work. In doing this, I wish to commit
myself more and to live up to what is yet to
unfold in the pages of this book.

This video reminds me of the song, "Get Up
and Live" which goes like this:
Get up and live, stand up and walk
Life is a gift from God
You've only got one life, live it well
Go to your brothers, help them all.
Get up and live!
Go to the poor, to the poor in your town
Go to the poor, to the poor, my friend.
Share their sorrows, let your pride down.
Show them you care, try to understand.
Get up and live ...
Stand up and walk!
