Spring

I t was a long drawn out winter- malamig, malungkot at ma-yelo. The signs of Spring are starting to sprout. We are beginning a new cycle. Easter will soon be here.
There is so much to look forward to. At the same time, there are tragedies and wars that are in our midst. We hope these all will just go away. Pero mukhang hindi mangyayari pansamantala.
Marami tayong dapat linisin - from our own backyard to a bigger perimeter called world. I don't doubt Japan will rise again. Maybe sooner than we expect. The factories will soon operate again and Apple will get its spare parts soon.
Pero ang Libya? Si Khadafi - kelan siya aalis? Soon - sana nga.
These countries have their own winters - maybe too drawn out and too long. Pero meron at meron din silang Spring katulad natin. Sana kasing aga rin natin.

The Beatles have the best version of this song. Let me give you an alternative - Nina Simone, a favorite of mine.
