Rencontre: Life in Pieces Mary Aileen Labios
Take a glimpse. Life is a queer journey. A daredevil is of humans to experience life in its mysteries. We venture into life according to our purpose. We seek the depth of its abyss in accordance with how we verge the concept of it.
The reality is this: Life’s how we encounter it, how we overcome its pieces.
The peaceful rest of leaves as it touches the ground after its swift fall. The calm of seashells along the shore after a disastrous storm. A sound-sleeping baby after the last hymn of a lullaby. The still breeze soothes your body, rooting down through your soul. Through silence, scars, and tears also lies beneath a pungent desire of chaos— battling through human existence. Some are struggling, some are celebrating. A contrasting ideology knowing that life comes in both black and white, narrow and wide; made of various sides and various perceptions. The truth is, it is how we encounter it. Throughout man’s existence, we ought to seek pieces in life. A piece of belongingness and approval. A piece of warmth and comfort. A piece of companionship, and camaraderie. A piece of serenity and tranquility. Man would spend all his hours looking for his piece in this world. Yet, there is still a feeling of thirst, a sense of hunger — they still crave for more.
The reality is this: Life’s how we encounter it, and how we overcome its pieces.
