Beautiful Things

I was on roofdeck of a 33-floor-building while I am enjoying another wonderful manila bay sunset. The sky is a gradient of blue and red and a small strip of clouds are there to make the view more beutiful. It was around 5pm and was already tired from work. But with this kind of panoramic view: the sky, the sunset, the clouds, the ocean, and mountains, oh God really loves us. He made it all for us to enjoy.

I looked towards the ground and saw busy streets, people rushing through traffic, traffics blowing horn at each other, toxic. Made me think if only they could see the sunset from where I am standing at, Im sure they would call it a day. I wonder why so many people fail to put God above all. Maybe because they’re too busy to look at wonderful things that God gave us.

Changes

It takes a lot of courage to let go of the past, the common, the ussual, the familiar life and start a new one. But we have to accept the fact that changes are essential to everybody. Time will come that there will be something that is no longer meaningful to us. We continue to live with it because we pretend to find joy in it, afraid of what might happen if we let go. But there will be a time that holding on will be more painful than the risk of letting go. Changing is not always from bad to good, sometimes it’s from good to better.
