RIVERING IN ASIN ♥

May the waters be swift
Become playful in the flow
Enjoy the current
You are in control
The master of all you are
As you are about to become
More than what you were.
~Gigi Galluzzo



"If you listen,
Not to the pages 
But to the smallest flower
Growing from a crack
In your heart,



"You will hear a great song
Moving across a wide ocean
Whose water is the music
Connecting all the islands
Of the universe together,



And touching all
You will feel it
Touching you
Around you
Embracing you
With light."
~John Squadra



The river that flows in you also flows in me.

~Kabir




"Have you also learned that secret from the river;
that there is no such thing as time?"






That the river is everywhere at the same time,
at the source and at the mouth, at the waterfall,
at the ferry, at the current, in the ocean
and in the mountains, everywhere
and that the present only exists for it,
not the shadow of the past
nor the shadow of the future.
~ Herman Hesse


No man ever steps in the same river twice,
for it’s not the same river and he’s not the same man.
~ Herclitus


God brings men into deep waters not to drown them,
but to cleanse them.
~Aughey 




In the waters of purity, I melted like salt
Neither blasphemy, nor faith, nor conviction, nor doubt remained.
In the center of my heart a star has appeared
And all the seven heavens have become lost in it.
~ Rumi




"Life is like a river. There is no precharted way;
there are no maps to be given to you which are to be followed.


Just be alive and alert, and then wheresoever life leads you go with full confidence in it.




Allow it to lead you, don't force it.
Surrender to it and allow it to lead you towards the sea.

Just be alert, that is all.

While life leads you towards the sea
just be alert so that you don't miss anything.
~Osho

ASIN HOT SPRING: Sights and scenes every second Sunday of the month - Trinity Mission Episcopal Church Mass

We are all collectively bonded to each other while
on Earth, united in this one supreme purpose:
to learn to love one another.
~Betty Eadie



Every second Sunday of the month, we are here in Asin Hot Spring,
Tuba, Benguet for the Holy Mass of the
congregation of the Trinity Mission Episcopal Church.

 


The Asin river with its ever-flowing
stream hums in the background.






Unity with one another and all God's creation
is what we profess!



Loving one another as we believe that we are
connected to each other in many many ways.



A bond exists in each one.
We are like this little creature of different
specie symbiotically co-existing
with the plant it was clinging on.
We need one another.



The gabi leaves and the small pool of
water form
♥


The flowers, too
spell ♥ in their candid ways.



The dragon fly, too
is saying much the same thing:
love love love.





"Love your neighbor as you love yourself."



♥ ♥ ♥


"Go in peace to love and serve the Lord."
Amen.


“It is by love that we serve.

 


It is by patience that we understand.





It is by trials that we gain wisdom.




It is by sharing that we become a blessing!”




"The heart is not a basket for keeping tensions and worries.

 

The heart is a bounty bouquet for keeping love,




joy and happiness and to be shared to others.

LA UNION SOJOURN IN JULY: Kultura Resort, Pugo town, Agoo Plaza/Market


The first step towards getting somewhere
is to decide that you are not going to stay where you are.
~ John Pierpont



By believing passionately in something that still does not exist, we create it.


The nonexistent is whatever we have not sufficiently desired.

~Franz Kafka


Sumptous meals @ the KULTURA DINER!





When you
recover
or discover
something
that nourishes
your soul
and brings
joy,
care enough
about
yourself
to make room
for it
in your
life.
Jean Shinoda
Bolen

 


Your true nature is purity,
peace and joy.
~Sathya Sai Baba


At
 this moment
 in time,
I am
in my
own
magical
space ♀

“It’s not
what you
look at
that
matters,
it’s what
you see.”
~Henry David
Thoreau




Celebrating my inner child and my playful spirit
as I dance in the rain ♥
adapted quote




Remember, what you possess in the world will be found
at the day of your death to belong to someone else,
but what you are will be yours forever.
~Henry van Dyke


If you don’t love yourself, you cannot love others. You will not be able to love others. If you have no compassion for yourself then you are not capable of developing compassion for others.
~His Holiness The Dalai Lama


Absolut!

Cheers!


Singin' ♫♪♫♪♫♪









The creamy whiteness of the cocktail drink
is like a concoction of these lacy white gardenia flowers.




"Your presence is a present to the world.




You're unique and one of a kind.
Your life can be what you want it to be.




Take the days just one at a time.




Count your blessings,
not your troubles.




You'll make it through
whatever comes along.
 

Within you are so many answers.
Understand, have courage, be strong.



Don't put limits on yourself.
So many dreams are waiting to be realized.



Decisions are too important
to leave to chance.


 

Reach for your peak,
your goal,
your prize."




Pugo to Agoo


Plaza and public market

 

Waiting for 4 hamburgers for lunch
