it is my last day here in Maasin City, Southern Leyte and as if to lengthen the day, i woke up quite early @ 4:15am. had my power calamanci drink then stayed a while at my favorite part of the Edmund Rice Brothers convent, the back terrace. i love watching the dawn breaks into the day and the silhouette of the hills is simply amazing. yes, i fell in love with Maasin City and i know i will be coming back ;))
i came across this beautiful piece from David Whyte and from the wonderful Maasin City i'm sharing it here:
Sweet Darkness
When your eyes are tired
the world is tired also.
the world is tired also.
When your vision has gone
no part of the world can find you.
no part of the world can find you.
Time to go into the dark
where the night has eyes
to recognize its own.
where the night has eyes
to recognize its own.
There you can be sure
you are not beyond love.
you are not beyond love.
The dark will be your womb tonight.
The night will give you a horizon
further than you can see.
further than you can see.
You must learn one thing:
the world was made to be free in.
the world was made to be free in.
Give up all the other worlds
except the one to which you belong.
except the one to which you belong.
Sometimes it takes darkness
and the sweet confinement
of your aloneness to learn
anything or anyone
that does not bring you alive
is too small for you.
BE TRULY RICH
