Quest for the True North

True north

Filed under spirituality

TK here tells his daughter about the true north.

True north could mean many things if taken figuratively. It could mean a person’s moral compass, or simply, our conscience, that part of ourselves that bugs us until we give in to it and do what it asks. It could be taken to mean our intuition, that quiet part of ourselves that knows and understands things even if these are irrational. It could be understood an artist’s reservoir of creative wealth.

We got all these from one Source, to which we are all connected.

A teacher taught me recently about the concept of the “center,” that part of ourselves that is connected to the Source. Awareness of that Source spells the difference between peace and quiet, love and hate, and acceptance and discrimination.

My quest is about finding my place under the sun. I still don’t know where I would be five years from now, but I trust that in time, some sort of pull would point me to the way, and then I would know.

Banahaw, Banahaw

I promised to post pictures of Mt. Banahaw. Here they are. I was lucky to have talented photographers with me during the trip, so we have very good pictures.

Here’s a photo of one of the many waterfalls of the mountain. We trekked across rocks and water to get here:

Here are shots of the stream that flows from the mountain:

Beautiful, isn’t it?

There is something about the mountain. Just being there refreshes the mind and soothes the spirit. It was my first time to drink pure water straight from the earth. And each time I took a dip in the water, I felt like I didn’t want to get out.

I wasn’t able to visit all the sites to see, though. They say it takes more three days to get to know the mountain. I am definitely going back there.
