“Before lighting the tree,” he said,...

Fragments of a dream from my post-Simbang Gabi nap
What a weird dream. Let’s see if I can still remember.
***
I’m in an airplane. And for some reason, I, including a few passengers, were kneeling down on one spot, with some of the crew members with whips on their hands, ready to give us a lashing (were they really whips? I don’t remember anymore). I think we were caught committing some violation, and this was the only airline...
“Such people barricade themselves behind their freedom. ‘My freedom! My freedom!’ they cry. They have their freedom, but they don’t use it. They look at it, they set it up, a clay idol for their petty minds to worship. Is this freedom? What use is this treasure to them, if there is no commitment guiding their whole lives?

On the Filipino Brain
This semester, I’m taking up a class on neuropsychology under Sir Tuazon, who says he has spent more than 20 years studying and teaching in Japan. And one thing that he never fails to bring up in his classes is how different the Japanese brain is from the Filipino brain.
