Problem Statement

Given a triangle ABC \triangle{ABC} with orthocenter H H . On its circumcenter, choose an arbitrary point P P (other than A,B,C A,B,C ) and let M M be the mid-point of HP HP . Now, we find three points D,E,F D,E,F on the line BC,CA,AB BC, CA, AB , respectively, such that APHD,BPHE,CPHF AP \parallel HD, BP \parallel HE, CP \parallel HF . Show that D,E,F,M D, E, F, M are colinear.
