Is it so hard to accept that a person can actually prefer to be solitary? Solo? Alone? You would think it would be the saner choice. We’ve watched couples – even among the best – they all compromise. 

Is there ever such a thing as equals? A balanced relationship? Two individuals – independent? Interdependent? Committed to each other? If it exists it has yet to manifest.

Eastern and western culture seem so definitive about roles. Though no one can seem to agree on what exactly these roles entail. Child. Adult. Parent. Spouse. 


How do we interact? We can’t even agree on these roles. What are they for each individual? One, either or both. It’s hard enough to know oneself. Thoroughly. Fully. Completely. 


To be together. Wholly with another? Not one and the other? Is there such a thing as mutually surrendered? At the same time or in turns? 


I love you – you love me. All that it is. No – I love you as much as you love me. Conditional conditions. Collaborative collaborations. It’s a dance few ever learn and fewer still get to master. 


Love sprouts from the core. Transcending our bodies. Connecting individual life force with the energy of the universe. Our heart, the portal love travels through - in and out. As we breathe. 


The breath contains the energy that connects all living beings. Being alive. Living life. Driven by breath. Life. Love. Motive. Motion. 


It is not an object. It cannot be possessed, taken, held. Love transports. Out of ourselves. Beyond space and place. Past age and death. Love creates. It is sacred. 


Love is self-generating. All we seek we already are. Don’t look for love – be love. Not separate. Not isolated. Not other but one and the same. Complete and whole. All and everything. 


This is the creative nature of love.

Tambanokano | the titan crab

Belief in giant monsters eclipsing the moon and efforts to frighten them away are widespread throughout the Orient. Found all over Asia — in the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Japan, Mongolia, China and India — these ancient stories were spread through trade routes with the expansion of the earliest empires. The folklore of Bisaya and Mandaya indigenous tribes of the Philippines tell different tales of a giant moon eating crab they call Tambanokano . Crab_king by noah-kh / DeviantArt Tambanokano the crab was the colossal son of LiAdlao, the golden orb of our sun and LiBulan, the silver sprite of our moon. They were two of four siblings born to LiDagat, the sea and LiHangin, the wind. Long ago in a tiny village of Buglas, the cloudless night sky was illuminated by a bright flash of lightning. Buglas is the fourth largest island in the ancient archipelago we now know as the Republic of the Philippines. As the ocean waves crash violently along the shore, smashing...

" If you white men had never come here, this country would still be like it was. It would be all pure here. You call it wild, but it wasn’t really wild, it was free. Animals aren’t wild, they’re just free. And that’s the way we were. You called us wild, you called us savages. But we were just free. If we were savages, Columbus would never have gotten off the island alive. Our religion is all about thanking the Creator. That’s what we do when we pray. We don’t ask Him for things. We thank Him [Her]. We thank Him for the world and every animal and plant in it. We thank Him for everything that exists. We don’t take it for granted that a tree is just there. We thank the Creator for that tree. If we don’t thank Him, maybe the Creator will take that tree away... We are made from Mother Earth and we go back to Mother Earth. We can’t “own” Mother Earth. We’re just visiting here. We are the Creator’s guests. " Leon Shenandoah , — former “Tadodaho” of the Grand Council of the Six Natio...

Having gone through the trauma of past failed elections and their ridiculously fatal results for my homeland the Philippines, the US 2016 elections mean all the more to me as this is now the land I call home. Lest we lose sight of the importance of w hy this election matters, here are some truly valuable and valid points - borrowed from my sister,  Angelica  Berrie : For Filipino Americans like me, this election offers a historic opportunity to make a difference. Putting the first woman in the highest position in our country is a game changer, just as voting for President Obama was a game changer.   Hillary Clinton brings a consistent track record of public service, fighting for issues that touch our lives; healthcare, children, families, women, and immigration policy. A respected bipartisan Senate leader  and globally recognized world leader as Secretary of State, I trust her to make the difficult decisions that will impact our country. I want to se...
