Bonifacio Day • November 30, Bonifacio Day, has Bonifacio Day • November 30, Bonifacio Day, has become a time for me to reflect on heroism and celebrate family. It's a day when I remind myself of the value of life and love, and the importance sacrificing for both. #DB #thoughts #Bonifacio #Bonifacioday #journal #life #love #heroism #family #holiday
Fallen Hero 🇵🇭 • Thoughts on Bonifacio Day Fallen Hero 🇵🇭 • Thoughts on Bonifacio Day (Andres Bonifacio is a Philippine National Hero) • One of the benefits of reading biographies, is that you see how flawed people really are. I’ve never picked-up a book of a “great man” and not be reminded of the fragile humanity that causes us to do all sorts of meaningful and stupid things. This has made me redefine my idea of a hero from superhuman to an ultra-human, not someone squeaky clean, not someone no one can accuse, and not someone who has it all, but someone who is so in touch with his own humanity and the humanity of others that it compels him to journey, to connect, to grow, to get up when he falls, and to rise to become the person the moment needs him to be. #hero #heroism #bonifacioday #bonifacio #poetry #poem #instapoem #greatness #fire #life #greatman

Some of our best memories will be the messy contri Some of our best memories will be the messy contributions of those we love. @elijahbonifacio likes to “type” on my computer while I work, likes to “write” on my journal, and likes to “paint” on my canvases. And I save them all. Someday, when I am old, I’ll read through old journals, and be transported back in time to when my son wanted nothing more than to sit on his dad’s lap. . . . #DB #son #father #journal #memories #writing #mess #toddler #thoughts #notebook #Sunday

“Prepare the child for the road and not the road “Prepare the child for the road and not the road for the child.” After the last typhoon, I took @elijahbonifacio with me to buy some medicine and show him the damage (and our area was nowhere near as bad as the other places). He asked me, “Are the trees dead?” I told him, “It looks like some are. That typhoon was strong!” He said, “I’m stronger!” I smiled to myself, “Yes, you are. But you need to get stronger because there are bigger storms up ahead.” “Bigger storms???” He asked. “But none that will be stronger than you.” I said. “Really?” He said, looking like he needed assurance. “Well, that will be up to you.” I told him truthfully. “I’m strong.” He finally said. And I was the one reassured. . . . #DB #family #son #threeyearsold #toddler #storm #typhoon #strong #courage #parenting #fatherhood #father #philippines #lessons

One of my projects this year is being very purpose One of my projects this year is being very purposeful about my possessions. I think one of the roadblocks of a great society is an Ethic of Possession instead of an Ethic of Impact. Any society that is more preoccupied with the accumulation and preservation of possessions than the creating, scaling and sustaining of value will lead to gross inequality. But when I look back to when I had very little possessions, and how great it was to not be so preoccupied with caring for, storing, and upgrading so much stuff, I am reminded to return to there, to seek to produce so much impact not that I may posses more, but that I may impact more. So I mapped out my weekly activities and limit my things to those that support these activities and fit in this bag. This exercise has shown me how much stuff I have that may be nice to have but can be without. When you take time to really be mindful about what healthy 2000 calories really look like, what things really help us produce amazing things, and what essentials really help us stay well, you'll probably find what I found: they look nothing like your unreflected desires, they are simple and within reach, and, for the most important things, like air and love, you already enjoy them. . . . #DB #DBthoughts #simplicity #impact #production #highimpact #quality #life #essentials #things #essentialism #bag #equipment #success
The Present • As I waited in the hospital this m The Present • As I waited in the hospital this morning, I used the time to get some steps in, read, and listen to verses. Pretty much ALL my plans were wrecked this year, and much of my carefully planned security wasn’t realized, BUT I realized this: I’m healthier. I’m back to my cherished simplicity. I know who my partners are and I know the character of those around me much better. I spend more time with my family. I have gotten better at being present in the moment. It’s a good year. . . . #DB #DBthoughts #words #poetry #poem #covid_19 #instapoetry #instapoem #rhyme #reflection #hospital #life #walk #moment #present #blessing #gift #blessed

There Was Nothing There • I’ve been writing lo There Was Nothing There • I’ve been writing longer format poems in my own private time. They don’t make the best @instagram posts but they do have a message for those who read them. For me, this crisis has really revealed a lot, particularly about the important of who to rely on, who you can rely on, when crisis hits. Most will run for cover, many will take advantage, and few you can trust. Those few are your allies. Be a good ally to them. This is a good time to remove your faith in other men to give you the life you want. Instead, emerge as an independent person others can rely on to provide value. . . . #DB #poetry #poem #work #life #trust #reliability #leaders #leadership #independence #crowds #influence #crisis #covid_19 #storm #fire #waves
