The first time I went to Cebu, as the boat passed through the Cebu channel, I saw several little boats rowing up to the big boat we were in. I realized that the people on these little boats were begging for money. Several people threw money at them, and most of the coins fell into the water and not into the boat. The beggars would dive into the water and resurface--coin in hand! I even saw one woman dive into the water WITH her baby! I was told they were natives called 'Badjao' and that begging is what they do for a living.

the world is truly beautiful and refreshing if we really take the time to overstand it. my life has been a striking testimony of the oneness of humanity all across the world. i no longer believe there is any difference between me and some 32 year-old white woman or some indian or some asian woman somewhere in this world. nor does the language i speak absolutely define me because i speak many languages and because i am constantly refreshed by the originality yet sameness, the romantic vs the mundane which are both expressed by the one language, the love with the hate that is spewed forth. i overstand, my sister, the importance of speaking the other's language, of living the other's culture, of loving the other. that's the one thing i give thanks for in this life and that's the opportunity to travel, to have seen and lived and worked and served and built and sang and cried and rejoiced and learnt with the other. this has led me to the point of perfect love and acceptance of what is supposedly different from me.
tao te ching has suggested that we should get to the point where we don't need to leave our houses, our village, our country, to overstand the outsider. but i propose that it is the most valuable aspect of human relations and communications: to be able to see it live, to live it and to love it.
more peace. more love.

many thanks for the comments you leave on my journal pages. reality, isn't it? people's views and needs and likes. i teach in a school where that's the reality and i feel blessed to have children who can face the plurality of the world from such a tender age.
more peace. more love.
