the whole
is greater than
the sum of its parts
who I am
is not a broken total
I am the whole

Arjen’s mother laments abandoning her jackfruit tree, her brother-in-law sold the land and gave them just a few weeks to relocate. Three years ago Typhoon Yolanda washed their home and all their belongings into the sea, they rebuilt the house a little close to the road. Being forced to relocate to another area very far from the sea and their family is a bit like a second typhoon as they pull down the house and rifle through their belongings.
Very sad. 🙁
so sad
it is sad, a lot of the photos here on the blog are sourced from their garden and their pathway to the water. they are wonderful people and i feel sad for the hardship of their life. thank you for reading. mel.
