Unpalatable || It's a jarring experience to grow up and realize how conditional most people's love is...and that conditional love is actually quite normal. Self-love, however, can be unconditional, unwavering, and the healing salve for any heartbreak . #poemoftheday #poeticsoul #poeticheart #poetrygram #poetryofinstagram #poetryofig #instapoet #instapoetry #herheartpoetry #writers_den_ #poetrycommunity #pinay #poetess #spilledink #poetryisnotdead #thispoeticlife #poetsofcolor #writersofcolor #womenwhowrite #untwinephilippines #pilipina #pinay #selflove

No mention of why Filipino dances were endangered in the first place, or anything about the Philippine-American War, but always nice to see a Pinay recognized and remembered. . #Repost @nativeprovince (@get_repost) ・・・ Today’s Doodle celebrates the life and work of Francisca Reyes-Aquino, the Filipino folk dancer and cultural researcher who helped preserve numerous Filipino cultural traditions including the tinikling. Countless other regional dance forms might have been lost forever if not for the efforts of Reyes-Aquino, who is often referred to as the “Mother of Philippine Dancing.” . Born on this day in 1899, Reyes-Aquino became interested in preserving the unique folk culture that thrived throughout the 7000+ islands that make up the Philippine archipelago. Earning a degree in Education from the University of the Philippines, she began traveling to rural communities with a small team of researchers to study the Filipino people’s unique songs, games, and dances. Recording and transcribing everything in detail, Reyes-Aquino shared her findings at recitals of the university’s folk dance troupe, helping to popularize and preserve dozens of dance forms through classes held by the university’s department of physical education. . Today’s animated Doodle depicts various Philippine traditional dances Reyes-Aquino helped document and preserve including the cariñosa, singkil, pandanggo sa ilaw, and the national favorite: tinikling. Named after a small, native bird that had long been the nemesis of local rice farmers, the dance is inspired by the bird’s hopping movements. . In 1954, Reyes-Aquino was awarded the Republic Award of Merit for her “outstanding contribution toward the advancement of Filipino culture.” She was also named a National Artist of Dance in 1973. .

A Meditation || My meditation practice has been set aside since the arrival of my newest little one and I miss I miss I miss the silence...not in my home, but in my soul. It's so chaotic in here these days. 💞 . #poemoftheday #poeticsoul #poeticheart #poetrygram #poetryofinstagram #poetryofig #instapoet #instapoetry #herheartpoetry #writers_den_ #poetrycommunity #pinay #poetess #spilledink #poetryisnotdead #thispoeticlife #poetsofcolor #writersofcolor #womenwhowrite #untwinephilippines #pilipina #pinay

A little late in the day, but had to share these beautiful words. Happy International Women's Day! 💖💖💖 . #Repost @spiritdaughter (@get_repost) ・・・ I’m so honored and grateful for all of the amazing women in my life- including all of you❤️. There’s nothing stronger than a community of women 💪🏼. Happy International women’s day! ⠀ To be a woman is to be: Delicate but strong, fierce but soft receptive but giving intuitive but grounded. She is the nurturer and the destroyer, casting magic through creations. Wild as the wind, yet still like the Earth she was born from and full of never ending love 🖤. ⠀ Image via @isra.althibeh #igpoetry #quote #femininity #iwd2019
