The Horizon

It caught my attention!
Early this morning, I rise to bed at around eight in the morning and bathe. I have to be there. My students are waiting!
Today, we are having our beach clean up activity. Of course, this is not really relevant to being an HRM, but this is not about being an HRM. This is all about being a Filipino and a member of the society!
As I imagined, my students are excited. With their empty plastic garbage bags, they walk along the seashores and picking those plastics and trash on the grayish sand.
While waiting for them, i enjoyed the soft breeze of the air blown by the bluish sea. The Horizon, it captures my attention. A very straight line. And again, my poetic mind began to render its simple explanation.
The sea represents ourselves. Sometimes, tranquil, sometimes bothered. We often thinks that we are wide, sufficed and mighty not knowing that there is far beyond ourselves. We often look at our border thinking that we are just flat and simple. Not knowing there is more, much wide beyond our horizon. That we not flat, we are not simple. We are whole and we are that perfect.
As I stand to approach my students with garbage in their plastic bags, I am eager to conquer what’s more beyond the border, beyond the horizon!
