I am fascinated by nature. Who's not anyway?
For the past two months, nature played a not so good game. Floods here and there. Typhoons come and go. Landslides on highlands. Calamities were everywhere. Was that fascinating? I don't think so. . . cause I was a victim of high-level flood, trapped in water for days!
But lately nature is taking its natural course again, well as for me. I've never been that close to a rainbow! It was last Saturday during our single's retreat in Antipolo. My job for the amazing race was over when my feet led me to another station. I didn't have anything to do that time so I just followed where my feet were going. Reaching the station, I was too lazy to go and see the players. I sat at the fence and reluctantly watched the others enjoying the game. Until I noticed Lio was taking photos of me! I was thinking maybe my mood was an ironic object for such an event. And then she told, "may rainbow sa likod mo." What? A rainbow at my back? Whoo-la, there's a rainbow indeed! It was so big and so clear that I want to touch it. The rainbow is just on the other mountain! So lively and so lovely... Too bad I didn't bring the cable of my phone, I couldn't post the photo here. Anyway, I was actually contemplating on something that time and I was too glad to see that rainbow. It lifted my spirit.
And today, I travelled for more than 4 hours by car. I've been to long trips, but this one was different for we (together with my colleagues) travelled through mountains. No zig-zags, no diziness, no accidents, just pure leisure travel. Malaysia is so rich in beautiful mountains with green everywhere (my fave color!). Loved our trip eventhough it took us more than 4 hours before reaching Penang.
And of course, these "nature tripping" brought my senses back to myself. I miss "me". The focused, organized, joyful and full of spirit lady. Maybe nature is reminding me to be in my natural self again. Though I know it's my Dad's way of telling that He is also missing the "natural" me... I'm going back (really trying) to Whom I belong.
