Mavis Pippin - Tree as a true friend

"I see a tree dying in my garden and I weep for that tree. I know I have many trees that are alive but I remember how that tree's branches shaded me from the sun and provided fruit from it's branches while it lived. And I saw it as a true friend since childhood. And my heart knows that many trees live in my garden but not one can replace the one that is dying. Death comes to us all but that does not mean that death means nothing." ~Mavis Pippin

But what truly matters is not what they did to us, what counts is that we continue to live by the golden rule: 'Don't do unto others what you don't want others to do unto you.' Happy New Year Everyone!" ~Gerry Javier Jr

"In these dark days, most are morally blind, and are in a bind. In the name of convenience, their moral sense turns insentient, employing mendacity to rake in money." ~Maximo Tumbali (excerpted from his poem).

"Most often it's reason that blocks us from truly loving others. When reason intrudes into the affairs of the heart the adverse result is love turning so mechanical, boring, chained, and drained of genuine and spontaneous feeling." ~Maximo Tumbali

"... our excessive dependence on reason has resulted in rationalism which in turn has ruined our true appreciation and understanding of reality. It has undermined the significant role that feeling and emotion play in our effort to make sense of reality." ~Maximo Tumbali 

‪"The lambs are very docile or tractable thanks to the new shepherd. But there are still a herd of wolves surreptitiously lingering around ready to attack. If this won't stop, time comes when the lambs will be fiercer than the wolves. And it will be more dangerous if in the end both the wolves and the lambs will be of same color. By then, the distinction between good and bad will be obliterated. And that will mean our end!" ~‬Maximo Tumbali

"The love you have for one person is well taken and understood by feeling rather than reason." ~Maximo Tumbali
