View of the Pasig River from the MRT
There's something deeply poetic about rivers. They don't resist. They flow. Through stones, around bends, over obstacles. Sometimes they roar (like the river near my Uncle's old home in Tulapos, Enrique Villanueva, Siquijor, where it felt like rain was falling all the time!), sometimes they trickle, and sometimes they just flow quietly, just like the Pasig River. But they keep moving.
Rivers can teach us resilience. When life gets blocked, perhaps it's not about forcing our way forward, but about finding another path, one that curves gently and flows around what we can't push through.
I see a river as a mirror to our lives. If you think about it, a human life is a lot like a river. We begin at a source. Our childhood, our roots, full of potential. As we grow, we encounter landscapes that change us. Sometimes, life is wide and calm, sometimes narrow and wild. Along the way, we meet other "rivers" --- relationships, friendships, experiences---that merge with our own flow, altering our course.
Eventually, like a river to the sea, we reach our destination, whatever that means for each of us. But it's the journey, not just the end, that shapes the beauty of it all.
