It was about half a month ago when I spent my summer vacation in Calaguas Island. Of course, besides swimming, eating, and all that fun stuffs one ought to do, I did some meditation. The sun was up and was happily watering with sunlight things that hail him. The sea water is calm and the different forms of clouds above it invites you to stay silent and savour it. That was the time I knew my summer vacation was awesome. Nothing can replace Nature and if camera-captured images can be saved in the computer, that moment in time when I was seeing Nature on sail will be saved on my heart.
One thought that I realized when I was having a date with Nature on that boat was that Nature sees you barely. It was as if you are nude. It doesn't care about what you wear, it strips off the jewelries, and money was worth nothing. Whatever you are, a president, a CEO or a simple fisherman, no status was given and in its eyes you are a mere human being, same as others. When it is joyous, it offers the relaxing breeze of the wind, the whistling of the trees and the warmth of the sun. When it is in rage, thunders may haul you and waves may crash things you built for years. And I'm grateful for that.
With a date with Nature, I was able to understand to give importance to being humane. To not live a life chasing money because Nature doesn't care. He cares how you appreciate it, how you survive it and how you mingle with it. When you have a date with Nature, He doesn't see the makeup, He sees you nude and sees the very person you are deep inside. I hope I'd be a person like Him, seeing beyond what ordinary eyes can see, and I also hope I'd meet people who are the same.
