My Place of Peace

One thing I ask of the Lord this I seek
To dwell in the house of the Lord
All the days of my life.
That I may gaze on the loveliness of the Lord
And contemplate his temple. (Ps. 27)

Down the Great Wall of China

A little bravado here: My first death-defying stunt down the greatest of the walls man ever built.

Scenic sights to behold

The towering sight of Paoay Church: For ages this church has provided refuge to many bleary souls.

The pristine white sand of Pagudpud beach sandwhiched by verdant groves and cool glistening waters.

Poem by Rainier Maria Rilke

My life is not this steeply sloping hour
In which you see me hurrying
Much stands behind me, I stand before it like a tree
I am only one of my many mouths
And at that the one that will be still the soonest
I am the rest between two notes
Which are somehow always in discord
Because death's note wants to climb over
But in the dark interval, reconciled
They stay there trembling
And the song goes on beautiful.
