had an opportunity to work in coron and el nido for the past few days (did basic coral reef monitoring). it was a blast, to say the least.

fitting beginning to each day, waiting and longing for that first ray of light and ready to begin. it's amusing these days how newness and discovery are part of my daily ritual, guiding me like mentors to be present to the moment.

today, i find myself as such.

in addition, i've finished another 10-week seminar series in landmark education and completed it, fittingly so, with joy. never realized that when my seminar leader said that she's committed to me having a great life, i never knew how much that commitment meant. thank you, christine. when you say that this is your self-expression in life, it truly is.

let me leave you with the parting words she gave at the seminar, quoting one of my favorite quotable persons in the world, george bernard shaw (from the epistle dedicatory of 'man and superman'):

this is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrap heap; the being a force of nature instead of a feverish selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.
(wow.)
