Steeped In Memories

I can still visualize my hometown in Gumaca, Quezon both in my mind and in my heart, with vivid mem’ries rich with natural resources, the place where I was born source of my childhood, a passage to my changing self. It’s like a landscape of my continuing inspiration a connecting link to my goal, the beginning of my calling. our neighborhood and other activities at the main población reminds me of those people who really care for their neighbors. Their echoes of pain, hopelessness and other complaints motivates me to keep going, follow that path that leads to God; being called to serve Him with his influential voice within me I can see and feel what they need with compelling movements. people’s endless dream to grow and make a difference anyway, becomes my own struggle, my own wish to blend in situations; providing me with a new language that shapes me with freedom. It resonates with profundity and claims its meaning to everyone, those customs and traditions, popular religiosity and occupations, they’re Filipino treasures with labyrinthine ways to articulate them indeed, they draw people in as they take part in varioius gatherings. Mem’ries of the past, a treasure trove of what life is all about; being in my own homeland I can feel that I’ve my own freedom. where I was, I grew up with friends, siblings, and other loved ones; sometimes a challenge but characterized with so much wisdom. Realities at hard times, economy with shortage in many banks they’re key figures in preparation for what church says and suggests Potuit, decuit ergo feut, and I remember that with real gratitude deep within my heart I see myself then with thanks and blessing.
