Welcome to the launch of: Where Grass is Greener
Welcome to the launching of Where Grass is Greener. Because we are in a high tech world where anything can be a virtual reality, please make yourselves comfortable and enjoy the company. We have friends from all over the world who are celebrating with us.
I acknowledge some individuals for providing the momentum that made this event possible. Foremost, is Baron Patrick de Koenigswarter for introducing me to the world of blogs. Another influence, is Australian Brian Gorrell, shown in photo. This soulful individual is a total stranger to me except for his incredible narratives about falling in love on an island and waking up to the realities of hypocrisy, deceptions and worldly ills. He has validated that the pen is mightier than the sword although he may have opted for the latter; at one time or another, given the terrible experience he went through. Brian has become a hero to many as he turned his blog into an advocacy for justice not only for himself but also for others.
Kitty Go, Another stranger to me but for the web, a Chinay (a term used for a Filipina Chinese) based in Hongkong, whose “When Chic Happens “ has made light of a deteriorating society. I believe that she is one of the rare species of the human kind with her exceptional wit and appreciation for what is real. That she is also a high calibre fashionista cum art, food connoisseur puts her on top of many BFF wish list.
Inspirations behind the musings are the goings-on in people’s lives …… not excluding the humdrum of everyday living. After all, there is really nothing mundane in this world - we just take most things for granted. Guided by the spirits of our forefathers, the teachings of philosophers, the wisdom of the sages, and listening faithfully to what is in one's heart can provide enlightenment at all times.
It has been said that the world is an oyster and we are the pearls. Migrants all over the world have stories to share. Each journey has myriads of events, people, and places. Whether we are on a roller coaster ride, or paddling a canoe in the ocean of life, we must take the time to enjoy the view – each facet reflects the road we choose to take.
"Compassion is, by nature, peaceful and gentle, but it is also powerful." Dalai Lama
