Seeing the Beauty and Joy and Goodness of the World in Small Doses: Sagada Flowers in August


The beauty of the flowers peeked out from their shady corners. From a distance, they looked mundance. But the memory they provide is priceless. It is a constant reminder of the beauty of life and living.

To be, or not to be. To hold on, or to let go. Holding on meant getting stuck in one's comfort zone which may get bereft of insecurities and convert to pain. But if it is not for you, then letting go is sweet. You get washed up with myriads of feelings. It is like a beam of sunlight hitting a prism. From there would sprang all the colors of the rainbow.
