Sunset in Manila
It is a pleasant afternoon as I sit on the rail. The sunsets, with a burst of colors. The sea whispers
softly but only few among the bystanders stop to appreciate the beauty that generously speaks before
their eyes.
Many of us look but do not really see. We only fail to see, but also fail to hear and respond to
the beauty in our midst. Our mind feverishly works for money and in the process, we starve our souls.
If we would really look around , the sky hovers above us like Gods protective mantle and the
trees beckon us to leave our minds in adoration to God just as they shoot their trunks towards heaven.
The birds welcome the morning, the wind murmurs the sweetness of Gods love or sarcasm out Gods
justice; the brooks bubble gently, the ocean roars mightily of Gods power. Touch a leaf, trace the
design, feel the petals or step on the grass. With these touches, God touches our hearts.
