Sunflowers turn to follow the sun. Rivers flow till they reach the sea. Birds fly south to keep warm in the winter. Beasts search far and wide to find watering holes. Fish come back to where they were born to … Continue reading
I Have Seen The Lord
When loved ones die and are gone, we try our best to keep their memories alive so that they can still be with us even if we do not see them bodily anymore. I keep Ima and Tatang alive in … Continue reading
