Kissing the Earth at Home
Tuesday, October 10th, 2006Oh, it’s so good to touch down right here; right were I have been longing to return after 5 months of being away for battle. Man, there is nothing compared to its typhoon-free clime, its greens and golds, its sea and mounts, and, oh, that spiny globe that holds heaven captive within. It’s great to turn that wheel on uncongested streets, to sip native coffee in A-plus cafes and bask in free Wi-Fi for hours, or go wild in that cosmopolitan yet subdued nightscape. Whether on wheels or on foot, I shall never grow fearsome of the evils that lurk at night for they are elsewhere, not in these streets.
"Far cry," was all that comparison can muster, as regards the many other places I have been to. I should wish never to leave again.
