The Quiet Voice

March 23, 2020 by admin Leave a Comment

Now and then I will hear in my heart a tiny voice that is not my own. The voice, the thoughts it cre­ates, come and go quick­ly, in my mind.

The qui­et voice came the oth­er night. We sent you many warn­ings: white bison and oth­er albi­no ani­mals, but you con­tin­ued poi­son­ing the bees and destroy­ing the mighty Ama­zon. You hunt­ed ele­phants, rhi­nos, tigers, pan­golins, and oth­er rare and beau­ti­ful crea­tures. Ripped up the earth. Sul­lied the waters. Pol­lut­ed the air. We sent you hur­ri­canes, super­ty­phoons, earth­quakes. We warned you with SARS, MERS, Ebo­la, and now Coro­n­avirus — all these to let you know that you are going down the path of total destruction.

Welcome!

I am a daugh­ter of the Philip­pines and an adopt­ed daugh­ter of Amer­i­ca. I have also trav­eled to many places so I am also a daugh­ter of the Earth. My expe­ri­ences have found their way into my sto­ries, which try to depict char­ac­ters caught in impor­tant moments in their lives, sit­u­a­tions that force them to act, make deci­sions, change. I try to see the world from my own point of view, not the dom­i­nant West­ern one, thus my inter­est in his­to­ry, cul­ture, and set­ting. But my char­ac­ters car­ry my sto­ries; they are the most impor­tant in my sto­ry-telling. I have to dive deep into them to under­stand their human­i­ty – their good­ness as well as their bad­ness, their beau­ty as well as their ugli­ness. Just like us. Just like each of us. I need to know where they came from, where they are now, so I under­stand where they are going. Just like us.
