MEDITATIVE ESCAPADE IN PURPLE AT WRIGHT PARK BAGUIO

"She maketh herself coverings of tapestry;
her clothing is silk and purple.”

~Bible quotes



The magical power of purple had transcended aesthetics, weaving a thread of connection to something greater – a harmony that reached beyond the visible spectrum of colors. 


















A MOMENT WITH THE
LONELY HORSES OF WRIGHT PARK



I have this love for horses that one day,
I went to visit them in Wright Park.

 "I have often been asked why do I like horses so much. Look into one's eyes. There you will see generations of horses who have served the humans for thousands of years faithfully for nothing in return. Beaten horses, starved hoses, horses who no longer possess a spirit. They deserve to be loved and respected as much as humanly possible. Let them run free again. Let them no longer be a faithful beasts, but embrace them as you would a dear friend, for that is what they are." 

I tried communicating to each horse,
and only one made contact.
This horse tilted his head my way
and you can see that look in his eyes.



This horse looked at me with his soul in his eyes.
Awesome. It made my day♥




"The essential joy of being with horses is that it brings us in contact with the rare elements of grace, beauty, spirit, and fire."
  ~Sharon Ralls Lemon




"To me, horses and freedom are synonymous." 
~Veryl Goodnight





"Horses are creatures who worship the earth
as they gallop on feet of ivory.
Constrained by the wonder of dying and birth,
the horses still run, they are free."
~John Denver and Joe Henry, "Eagles and Horses"



My wish:

 "I have seen things so beautiful, that  they have brought tears to my eyes.
Yet, none of them can match the gracefulness and
beauty of a horse running
free." 

MEDITATIVE ESCAPADE
is making my "mind like a blank canvas,
to be painted on by the experiences of every day."





I embellish my life with simplicity and ease..
enjoying the simple things..
discovering anything new.





Every moment is
an experience of a rich event.




It is great to be 
a dweller of the moment..
There's always some kind of magic -
like putting a lighted candle
in a glass of water
☺




Being happy with the mundane..
driving away boredom and the agony of waiting
by making every moment
a journey with creativity and joy!






There's a time for self-indulgence.

It is "having fun consciously creating your reality:
contemplate, pray, perceive, introspect or reflect. 
Breathe.
Indulge in self-awareness at any time and in any place.
It is an attitude, a state of mind and a way of being."





"Imagination becomes a tropical adventure island
to be explored and revisited.
Be willing to go on an adventure and
to learn from yourself and your world.




 The imperfections of this world are created
to be perfected in one's mind.

Contemplating on the positives
gives way to desired changes.
  



You are what you think!

"What you choose to think about and dwell on in this life
will make or break you as to what type of person
you will end up becoming in this life."


“For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.”
~Proverbs 23:7

LOVE & LETTING GO

"Always remember that the time to love is short." Love is a gift. It may come in fleeting moments. It is a seed that comes through our senses, nurtured by the thumping of the heart. It gnaws the soul for nourishment, and bears fruit in our spirit. Such other trivial passions would just wither in time. But when you find love, savor it.     Opening up one's self to the universe with it milieu of probabilities is liberating. There may be a hundred and one offerings. But we have to choose which one. 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. It makes one really happy with all its lightness ...

SUNSETS & The Little Prince

Sunsets do take my breath away sometimes. They come different each time. What is mesmerizing is when they slowly fade away into the dark night. Like Anais Nin, I look at sunsets and remember The Little Prince in his tiny planet. He is in his own world, teetering at the edge, counting his sunsets... It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye. Below are photos of beautiful sunsets.

I left home a bit too early one evening for work so I detoured to the beach. I got rewarded with this scenes ..." Sunsets 02 & 03 by Paz Aptimes, Australia When I admire the wonder of a sunset or the beauty of the moon, my soul expands in worship of the Creator. Mahatma Gandhi

CULTURAL VIGNETTE : A tale on the Traditional Costume of the Isneg Tribe of Apayao Province in the Philippines

"Most people think Time is like a river that flows swift and sure in one direction. They are wrong. Sit down and I will tell you a tale like none that you have ever heard." ~Yuri Lowenthal Long ago, in the northernly end of the Cordillera central mountains, lies a province named Apayao. Here, a mighty river, savagely rough and deep, courses through steep mountain gorges down to the valleys and plains, straight to the Philippine Sea. 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...
