BAGUIO FOG: Sunbeam Etchings on a Misty Morning


It was a misty
December morning.
Fog settled
everywhere
creating a canopy
of whiteness - 
an invasion of
sort by
puffs of cloud.


Sunbeam
pierced
the
blanket
of
opalescence.
Etching rays

Creating a
highway to heaven,
and an illusory portal
to the universe.
The rings of sunlight
drew focus to tinges
of pinks & purples...
Beckoning for attention.


And how
could

ignore?

Such
mesmerizing

A visual

Behind the
clouds

still shining.

Be still, sad heart! and cease repining;Behind the clouds is the sun still shining; Thy fate is the common fate of all,Into each life some rain must fall-Henry Wadsworth Longfellow,The Rainy Day, 1841

This river, so blue in the mid-morning sun, is the life force for a tribe in Apayao called ISNEG. The Isnegs lived isolated in these expansive mountains with  stunning scenery, adorned with small hills and steep cliffs along both sides of the river. A labyrinth of valleys and foothills, embraced by tropical forests and Savanna grass, led them to their paradise. To reach this haven, they navigated for hours on personalized bamboo rafts or small boats, then traversed long trails to their homes. The people cherished their l...
