Pangarap Ko Ay Makita Kang Naglalaro sa Buwan @ 10:12 PM

Pangarap ko ay makita kang naglalaro sa buwan,
Ang alay mo sa akin ang gabing walang hangganan.
Hindi mahanap sa lupa ang pag-asa.
Nakikiusap na lang.
Himala, kasalanan bang humingi ako sa langit ng
isang Himala? Kasalanan bang himingi ako sa langit ng
Isang himala?
(Rivermaya- "Himala")


Today I woke up to an endless cobalt sky, for miles and miles no sign of anything between me and the early sun, me and the late half moon. Had it been dawn, my naked eye could have met the death of constellations minutes before sun-up. Days like this leave me believing that something somewhere knows that I am looking up, and that something mirrors right back through incalculable miles.

You can call me a blind believer. You can call me heretic, even foolish for having faith in things I can not myself prove. Einstein, now he said, “Our situation is the following. We are standing in front of a closed box which we cannot open.” True, and for these things left unknown, science and faith have always battled for. But to an extent I think the answer is better sought through the fusion of both. It takes faith in people to believe what science has proven. Consider this: our perception of life could be the greatest mistake in living, but how will we ever know? The world exists in an objective truth that we can only imagine.

Forever is a really long time and infinity is a really large space (quite an understatement, actually). The idea of something that we cannot observe scares me beyond my wits, but a greater fear is that somehow, someplace, something could, could exist so that forever is but a second and infinity, an inch.

I have always been in awe of aboriginal lifestyles, the ability to withstand the challenge of time and endure the temptation of a fast changing age.

The other day, I saw on TV school-aged Aetas (indigenous people of the Philippines) who walk 3 hours from home, having to climb mountains, navigate through forests and traverse rivers to get to school. On your next half hour drive or 15 minute walk to campus, please think about it.
