Flowers in every yard in Infanta?

By Rudy Arizala

Let us hope and pray that the comments on Infanta that it has also rare beatiful flowers (not only Thailand) and your piece about that "prayer garden" in Infanta as well as Mr. Ismael Villeno´s farm in Brgy Langgas, Infanta, Quezon, would inspire our kababayans left behind in the Philippines as well as those now residing abroad have their own respective John Keats´ "thing of beauty, joy forever" corners in their yard.

In this highly "technicalized" world, where almost everything is being now done through your thumbs and fingers on the computer keyboard, planting a tiny seed or seedling which later will grow into a living thing with beautiful flowers or fruits, is really a source of "joy forever" for we are reminded of the "Garden of Eden" provided to humankind out of love by our Creator.

It is our avarice and wanting to be God ourselves which drove us out toward East of Eden and must henceforth toil and through the sweat of our brow earn our daily bread. Now the "rat race" to earn a living or survive in this world.

And through the computers and cellphones, we are back to the Biblical "Tower of Babel" speaking in different tongues elbowing out each other to reach the top.

Get a respite from your "Tower of Babel" and go down to earth once in a while.. . Plant something with your fingers.. You will feel humble and good..
