In the Name of Our Ancestors

One thousand five hundred meters above sea level, Igorot villages lie in a sprawl of lush forests, pine thickets and rice terraces. This photo by Storm Crypt of the Banaue Rice Terraces represents the hardiness of the Igorots - from the Ifugaos to the Bontocs to the Ibalois and the Kankanaeys - who, through the centuries have skillfully carved the mountains with primitive equipments, leaving a legacy that's beyond the engineering prowess of our generation.

Life is endless. My soul travels from one realm to another. When the flesh dies, my soul is reborn into a new dimension; and while the breadth of life is infinite, my humanity is bound by my earthliness. The treasures of my journey are therefore held deep in the recesses of my mind and soul, the rest are blogged.
