The Windows' Wind Blows

Waking up early in the morning and staring at the window—that's a great feeling when witnessing the timelapse from dawn to sunrise! The purple skies at dawn and the silhouette of the trees are a soulful morning greeting—an experience worth living.

In my hometown, the second half of February is the most incredible day to remember. The calm wind and the foggy morning are perfect for hot coffee.

A rainy day is a perfect time to hibernate and do some pure thinking over a cup of hot beverage. It's all coffee—coffee and unlimited coffee!

So many thoughts coming in, just like the non-stop pouring of the rain. And when it's time to contemplate, it has to be the finest frequency of tuning in. Only the best frequency for healing the body, mind, and soul.

Tuning in to so many frequencies simultaneously can make us feel heavy at times. Whenever our thoughts are in the past, we feel anxious about whether we did our best. We worry about what lies ahead when we tune in to the future. And then, we forget to live in the present moment.

As I stared out the window, I could smell my coffee, hear the birds chirping, and feel the gentle wind blowing. That's how I tune in to the present, and it's just a wonderful thing.

While tuning in at present, I couldn't help but tune in to one of the finest frequencies of the recent past—a heavenly frequency of a great climb to remember.

That's a selective tuning-in for a Soulful Sunday moment. It brings back not just pleasant memories but also relives heartfelt moments.

The wind blows of February will be missed. The foggy mornings will soon be over, and the rainy days will quickly end. But the memories will stay forever and be tuned in to be an excellent frequency for all seasons. 

The next time I stare out the window, it will never be the same again until the same season comes again. However, I have learned to tune in to a healing frequency even when it is raining and the sun is not shining.

The Ruins and the Love Story

The Taj Mahal of the Philippines. That's why 'The Ruins' of Negros is known not only in the country but also has gained prestige and recognition globally.

Half a decade ago, in 2015, I finally appreciated the Italian-inspired mansion that was the talk of the town and is gaining popularity among tourists locally and from different parts of the world.

Seeing it for the first time from a distance was a nostalgic experience about its glorious past and the story behind the mansion built with tremendous and profound love.

The Ruins of Negros, a timeless architectural masterpiece, stands as a testament to the power of love. Its legacy, if preserved, will continue to inspire and captivate generations to come. 

What makes the ruins of Negros so special is a sad yet beautiful story with a heartfelt dedication of a mourning man to his lost wife. Just like The Taj Mahal of India, when a mourning emperor built the structure in memory of his missing wife.

That's quite a similar story about immortalizing the memory of a loved one that was lost. And so the Philippines has its own version of the great Taj Mahal of India— the Ruins of Negros.

What truly stands out about The Ruins of Negros is the enduring love and legacy it represents. It's a testament to the fact that even in loss, we can create something that lasts forever.

Not everyone could do that, and so that piece of a historical masterpiece is to remind us of our greatness in our own ways.

We may not be as great as the builders of the Taj Mahal of India and the Ruins of Negros, but one thing that we can learn is that we can build great things out of the greatest love when we are crushed in spirit and in the deepest pain.

On this heart's month, we celebrate people's love stories and our own. We look forward to building a significant and lasting memory to share with our loved ones and even the world.

Love can be challenging, but it moves people. It forces us mysteriously. We are reminded that when we are brokenhearted, we can always pick up the pieces to make it whole again. We must be complete to experience and live the greatest love we deserve.

Heart's Desire and The Purple Sky

A purple sky and purple rain, with their ethereal beauty, symbolize our roller coaster of emotions. This roller coaster is our journey through the highs and lows of life, where the 'purple sky' represents our most profound moments of joy, and the 'purple rain' symbolizes our times of profound sadness and despair.

That's life! We feel the roller coaster of emotions that brings out our best. The rarity of the purple sky, so unique and beautiful, is like the love I have found. It's a color that symbolizes the uniqueness and beauty of my love, a love that is as rare and precious as the purple sky.

Not long ago, I discovered some spirituality acquired from a Master of Life and revered Spiritual teacher who unifies Eastern wisdom and Western practicality. That was a higher level of Spiritual love for service to humanity through charity work.

Many do not know that purple symbolizes spiritual awakening. It has a calming effect, soothing the mind, enhancing creativity, and uplifting our spirit. When we achieve such enlightenment, the spiritual color is revealed to us in unexpected places and moments, bringing peace and serenity. The significance of the purple color in this awakening is profound, a testament to the power of enlightenment.

As we live our purpose, we continue to experience giving and receiving love. It's not just a feeling but the most essential spiritual gift, a treasure we carry within, and the most crucial emotion to nurture and cherish.

As we celebrate Valentine's Day, we experience the color of love that is revealed to us. It may be the fierce energy of red to some, the calming effect of blue to others, or a combination of red and blue, and that's purple—a highly significant spiritual color.

Love will always be more than and beyond ourselves. When we have found love, it gives us the purple color, a romantic, lovely, and royalty color in our lives that our hearts desire. This 'purple color' is not just a hue but a symbol of the deep, spiritual love that we experience.
