The lonely cross

Beneath the cross used to be dangling with bells. Since the bells were taken away, it's a lonely cross up there.

Is the cross next?

The black smoke

"Walay aso nga makumkom!" is a local maxim literally translated as: "No smoke can ever be held or hidden by the hand!" If someone is playing with fire secretly and does the best he can to hide it, hiding it and keeping it hidden is futile since smoke rises when fire breaks out; and nobody can ever hold or hide smoke. In the photo, an immense column of black smoke is seen rising above San Pedro Cathedral -- the Seat of the Archdiocese of Davao. First chapter of Jonah verse 2 says: "their wickedness has come up before me."

The dream book

A well-known, successful artist-singer-songwriter handed a book to me in the middle of a forest.

"My works are in this book," said he as he turned it over.

Smiling and glowing, fresh-faced and young-looking, the songwriter was clad in clothes for cold.

As I got hold of it, the smell of a brand-new book was wafting in the air.

I flipped through the pages and I saw artistically-taken photographs.

One was a picture of a hole on the bough with the sprouting of a leaflet.

An evergreen against a mahogany branch!

The hole of a branch was seen through a hole of another branch of an old tree.

And beside the photograph was a terse poetry.

An eye within an eye of a thousand and one

But none of the name of the songwriter was there.

I lifted up my head and I was all alone in the woods.

The blogger's note: Who was the artist-singer-songwriter in the dream? The face of the artist in the dream was of a countryman, a currently popular singer-songwriter in the Philippines. Or could it be the soul of an internationally-acclaimed singer-songwriter who died twenty years ago? In my recent online research, I was [and still am!] appalled to find out the late John Denver [described as "legendary" and "mystical"] was not only a singer-songwriter but also an actor, environmentalist, nature-lover and, most of all, had an unpublicized gift in photography! Was the singer-songwriter in the dream John's soul [or spirit] that visited me from Heaven? Or was the singer-songwriter in the dream a representation of the Divine Gift [to be or already] bestowed upon my instrumentality? -fdivinemercy

The three sixes

The middle part of the bell-cum-watch tower located immediately beneath the bell chamber is divided into three balconies and each balcony has its own spiral staircase -- thus, three spirals are equal to three sixes!

Three bells on east side of the chamber, six bars divided by three and worn upon each of the crown and clappers hanging within the mouths are taking a peek by the railing.

The time and the emblem

It's the SIXth hour, SIX minutes [and SIX seconds?] of the clock in the morning at the time of clicking the camera [without intending to do so] and the photograph reveals the bell support framework is patterned after a Masonic emblem.

The semblance

The belfry

The obelisk

Wide-winged

Wide-winged

butterflies 

of green 

and large petals 

of orchid pink 

swarm leafless 

branches 

of a tree, 

a tree 

almost 

whole.

Fallen in love

Leaf

loses grip,

falls on

the ground --

fallen

in love
