Banaue- the river view


The view from Greenview Lodge. Raging river down below, houses by the winding road. We walked this road on our way to the hanging bridge. These orchids, probably taken from the mountains. The sound of the flowing river puts us to sleep at night, and we woke up to the same sound in the morning. If this is where you live everyday of your life, one wonders what changes in one’s mind-frame will happen. I would think there would be a space and silence in the mind that will drown out a normally chattering city mind full of civilized concerns like today’s appointments and businesses, last night’s movie, facebook, and yes, the recent blog entry. If you want to quiet the mind, I would suggest one go to the river and listen to it all day long.
