Gem Among the Rubble A Love Story

By Puróy Manálo

'Love comes in the most unexpected ways: love comes at places, times and people we didn't expect. Even forbidding deserts have oases. Love can strike point blank at any time or season, 24/7. And love can unexpectedly shine on people you haven't even noticed before.

My Muse is like a rough, gold ore concealed among humble rocks. Who would have thought that I'll stumble upon her.

Sometimes love closes doors. Sometimes, others open their windows.

"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened."

-Matthew vii.7-8 NIV
