Comfort/Water World-Wednesday

Kayangan Lake, Coron Island, Palawan

The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quite alone with the heavens, nature, and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature. As long as this exists, and it certainly always will, I know that then there will always be comfort for every sorrow, whatever the circumstances may be. And I firmly believe that nature brings solace in all troubles. ~ Anne Frank

Mango vendor/Our World-Tuesday

A mango vendor at the open field near Quirino Grandstand in Manila.  Fresh green Indian mango is a popular snack, usually paired with shrimp paste (bagoong).  Indian mango is smaller, pudgier and less intensely flavored variety of mango---it's not as tart/sour as the green Philippine mango.

Resilience/SWF

People who soar are those who refuse to sit back, sigh and wish things would change. They neither complain of their lot nor passively dream of some distant ship coming in. Rather, they visualize in their minds that they are not quitters; they will not allow life's circumstances to push them down and hold them under.

Enchanting nature/Water World-Wednesday

There is a pleasure in the pathless woods;

There is rapture in the lonely shore;

There is society where none intrudes,

By the deep sea, and music in its roar,

I love not man the less, but Nature more...

~ Lord Byron
