I was watching a documentary today from BBC about Einstein’s life and his works. The documentary is entitled Einstein’s Unifinished Symphony. Einstein was able to unify the relationship between mass and energy in his formula E=MC2, and this paved way for harnessing nuclear energy, among other applications. Aside from unifying mass and energy, he also attempted to unify gravity with the subatomic forces, and he spent the last 30 years of his life trying to solve that. He was not able to finish the equation though, but it had me up my toes in anticipation. That would be really cool if someone could do that. Although I’m not really so well-versed in such matters–I’m not so good with computations–but it’s really an interesting subject for me. I admire Einstein for his perseverance in trying to answer those questions and to satisfy his curiosity.

I find it quite relaxing to lie outside at night while gazing at the sky. Watching the clouds move slowly is really soothing. My mind drifts as the cloud drifts. My eyes wander in the darkness around me. This is nature’s pace… Everything is beating. Everything is alive. The stars, the chirping of the crickets, the gentle brush of the leaves against other leaves.

Life is a wonder. The fact that I am here, the fact that I can see all these things, the fact that I am a conscious living being–it’s all a miracle.

Hearing an “I Love You” from a friend made my day. It put a smile to my face and lightened my mood. It really felt good to hear that.

I love you. This is a really powerful phrase.

I love you. It may be a bit overused though.

I love you. What does love really mean?

I don’t know, but it feels GOOD 

After a week’s worth of work, it’s important to spend a day or two for rest and relaxation. Turn off your celphone, spend time away from your computer or any electronic device, and let your life slow down into the natural rhythm of life. Spend it with friends, family, and just enjoy the time.

Rest and relaxation are very important because these will keep you fresh and recharge your energy for next week’s work. It’s hard, if not impossible, to think of work all the time. That would be very draining. Change your pace and do something other than what you do everyday to refresh your mind.

It’s really enjoyable to work with shovels, bars, and the soil. There’s something good that comes with exertion and being in the heat of the sun that keeps you in touch with reality–as opposed to living the day on computers, TV, and gadgets. There’s something good with perspiring and relying on the wind to keep your body cool. Clouds that occasionally block the heat of the sun at 12 noon feel like such a blessing.

It feels like spring, though there is no “spring” here in the Philippines because it’s only rainy or sunny in a tropical country. You could also say it’s always spring, and it’s always the season for new things to grow.
