Don’t go chasing waterfalls…

Please stick to the rivers
and the lakes that you’re used to.

Thus goes the song popularized by TLC.

Yes, the admonition in the song has a different meaning, but in the context of my current passion, it is a sound advice — my failure to heed it left me with a swollen knee.

I’m planning to craft some witty or maybe even an inspirational piece to go with the photos of Buntot Palos (a Filipino term meaning eel’s tail) Falls, but — DANG! — its sheer beauty and magnificence left me with no words.

So peepz, just chew on the scenery…

… maybe tomorrow I’ll be able to weave some words.

About Seeing with Brahmin eyes
My sense of humor can be keen, sarcastic, silly or corny -- sometimes all at once. I enjoy meeting new people with no preconceived ideas about what or what is not possible. You get much more out of life by being open minded and willing. I'm an easy going, good-natured person who loves life and loves people. I'm both optimistic and realistic and pretty objective when it comes to assessing situations, events, etc. In general I am a very positive person and you'll usually find we with a smile on my face.

I am.

So the first thing to be understood is that the mind is an indirect process. Senses are direct: I can touch you with my hand, but I cannot touch you with my mind. I can see you through my eyes, but I cannot see you through my mind. The mind is enclosed within me and there is no bridge from the mind to reach you directly. If the mind wants to reach you directly, some medium will be needed. If the mind wants to see you, it will see through the eyes. To touch you, it will touch through the hands. A medium, an agency, a mediator, will be needed. Mind needs a mediator.
