RIP, TIYO EDGAR

He is Aunty Nita's husband. I saw on Facebook this morning that he has passed on. Morag gabii ra diay kuno at around 6 pm. Bedridden tawn tos Tiyo Edgar for 12 years per Ate Wewens. Intawn. Every time I'd visit him, he'd tell me that husto n kuno akong lawas, di n kuno patambok. I have heard of not so nice stories about him, saun tawo ra mn lagi. But rest in peace, Tiyo Edgar. Hinay2 n jud ug kahurot among elders. Morag si Aunty Helen ug Tiyo Joven n lng lagis side ni Papa plus Tiyo Fredo of course my ninong sa bunyag then Mama's half-siblings in Bukidnon sa pikas side. Jia you to us all!

Fresh Pick

A Return to Love, by Marianne Williamson
(as quoted by Nelson Mandela in his inaugural speech, 1994)

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that frightens us.

We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?

Actually, who are we not to be?

You are a child of God.

Your playing small doesn't serve the world.

There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.

We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.

It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone.

And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.

As we are liberated from our own fears, our presence automatically liberates others.

--The Power of Focus, 2000, by Canfield, Hansen and Hewitt, p. 159
