kite season
it’s summer on an april fool’s yesterday!
a season for playing, enjoying and bein carefree like crazy. playing with kites reminiscing my childhood days inside the training camp in silang cavite (formerly pc tracom) was a heartwarming thought. it is so nice to watch a thing you labored and designed intricately with visuals and specially sound (i forgot the humming thing nene screetched off on the bamboo strips on the rear of the kite to force a humming sound on the gliding wind) fly high that you could hardly see the intricacy!
one of our team member, lorenzo “nene” juarez is a master craftsman of competition kites. it’s not a competition for aesthetics but a competition for kite wars! cut off the competiting kite’s lines with your line and the power of a 1-2 meter wide kite handled by two adult people atleast. he is popular on this and people come to their home to be built one.
i was reflecting that i should also change seasons now. i should be a kite! i should learn to fly. i should learn to stop crafting the aesthetics of my laurels by flying high and let go so that it could be hardly seen. by flying high, instead of observer’s seeing me i see the vast emptiness of the lord’s plan for me. vast emptiness for growth. for seeing beyond my fields and shores. for seeing life in a brand new light, from a kite’s eye view! for never worrying that my life will be cutted of by wind pressure the more i fly high! the more i let go, the more i’ll lose control but i’ll be more near the sky as most of the intricately designed kites wants too.
im complicating my life as iva said. im adding more designs to the kite that adds weight for flying since i still feel that i can but common sense dictates to fly light with only the necessary things. i have a light and strong line for control that im so lucky to have as she said that i don’t know it (perhaps what she meant was appreciate.hehehe)!
