inutile
i am rendered inutile by the wrath of nature and the tendency of man to err.
i feel so helpless and useless in the face of these adversities, all beyond my personal control. no matter how much i try to swim and stay afloat, there are times, such as these recent weeks, when the undercurrent is so strong, and i would rather be swept away than hold my ground and fight.
but i have never given up a fight. any fight. my positive act against nature is to offer whatever i have of myself towards all the relief efforts going on around me. on man's propensity to err, i can only swallow my pride and seek solace in the warmth of friends.
to be able to face these head on and stand my own (high) ground is my wish. such is my only succor in the face of all these tragedies.

@mommy syl: thanks for the vote of confidence. I am continually amazed at the spirit of bayanihan & the strength & resilience of Filipinos.
you will come out strong, just like all filipinos, after the storm.
i know. It's just really depressing though.
