KASABIHANG FILIPINO SERIES NO. 8
ANG LUMAKAD NG MATULIN, MATINIK MALALIM. ANG LUMAKAD NG MARAHAN, MATINIK MABABAW
Hagonoy, Bulacan, Philippines
Toronto , Ontario, Canada
Wed 21st September 2011
 
 
Ang kasabihan na ito ay angkop na angkop at sinusunod noong unang panahon ng mga kastila.  Ang mga tao noon ay karamihan ay walang suot na sapin sa paa.  Nakatapak lamamg sila, lalo na ang mga taga-barrio , taga-bukid at mga mangingisda.  Sa kalsada na dinaraanan ng mga tao ay karanuiwan ay may nagkalat na  tinik, siit ng kawayan, matatalim na batute o matutulis na bagay at layak. Bibihira ang mga sasakyang kabayo o kalabaw, karwahe, karomata o karatela. Mayroon din namang gumagamit ng bangka. Kaya naglalakad lamang ang maraming tao sa kalsada at pampang  papunta sa kanilang paroroonan. 
 
Ang matuling maglakad ay mabilis ang paghakbang at medyo mabigat ang tapak o bagsak ng paa sa lupa.  Kaya kapag may tinik na duduro sa nakayapak na paa ay medyo malalim at sa kabilang banda, kung ang lakad ay marahan ang bagsak ng paa ay medyo banayad at kung makatapak man ng tinik ay mababaw lamang at maari pang maitaas ang paa bago pa bumaon ang tinik na malalim.  Dito natin nakuha ang kasabihang " Ang lumakad ng matulin, matinik malalim. Ang lumakad ng marahan, matinik mababaw. " 
 
Marami ang nagsasabi na ang kasabihan na ito ay hindi na naakma sa mga panahon ngayon. Uso na ang tsinelas, step-in, sapatos at bota.  Wala ng naglalakad na ring naglalakad ng nakayapak sa kalsada. Marami naring uri ng sasakyan. Pero kung lilimiin natin ang ibang ibig pagkahulugan ng ating paksang kasabihan, ito ay makatotohanan pa rin  kahit ngayon sa kasalukuyang panahon.  Kung ihahambing natin ang paglakad sa paggawa ng hakbang ng pagpapasiya, pagpapaplano, itong kasabihan na ito ay akmang-akma at kapupulutan ng aral at kabutihan.  Kung ang isang hakbangin ay gagawing padalosdalos o mabilis, kapag ito ay nagkabisala at pumalpak, ang resulta ng pagkakamali ay malawakan, wika nga ay malalim at
mahirap ng maituwid at mabigyan ng karampatang lunas.  Sa kabilang dako, kung ang pagpapaplano ay pinag-isipang mabuti at ginawa ng marahan at hindi pabigla-bigla, kung magkamali man, ang resulta ay maliit at mababaw lamang ang danyos at maaari pang maari pang maremedyuhan.
 
Kung pakikinggan natin ang ipinapayo ng kasabihn ito " Ang lumakad ng matulin, matinik malalim.  Ang lumakad ng marahan, matinik mababaw. ", tayo ay maggiging maingat sa ating mga hakbangin upang tayo ay makaiwas sa masamang kahihinatnan ng mabilisang pagpapaplano at pagpapasiya.

Before going to Aklan during this Philippine vacation, we visited the Bicol region and Palawan.  We were joined by Danny and Cindy’s sons, Chip and Kitt, and granddaughter Kaye in Bicol.  Chip and Cherry’s toddler Carl was also with us.  Carl was a constant source of laughter for us, with his developing vocabulary and thickly-accented singing.

Fr. Danny T. Imperial, Cindy’s old-time friend, was our most gracious host in Naga City.  He held a private mass for Boy and Teng to celebrate their renewal of vows on their 41st wedding anniversary, and a thanksgiving mass for our sister Quiding, who celebrated a milestone birthday in late December.  Father Danny gave us the rare privilege of viewing the 300-year-old wooden statue of Our Lady of Peñafrancia.  He told us his personal account of how the image was stolen then recovered in the early 1980’s.  We even had the opportunity to join the healing sessions of the Daughters of Mary at the Basilica....
 
This still life was painted in 2003 when painting was for me more enthusiasm than expertise. This work was quite acceptable to me then if not perfect in terms of forms and composition. The shells, the main objects of interest and basically orange in color, were set off by a complementary blue atmosphere. The sturdy triangular arrangement bound the various elements into one strong unified whole. The yellow peaches and fruits marked the tips of the triangle that served as an enclosure of where the excitement was concentrated. Very little seemed to be lacking in this creation.

But, looking at it now, I can't resist the urge to inject more vibrant colors and greater atmospheric perspective in what now appears to be a dull and flat composition. Neither can't I help noticing other shortcomings: the lemon peel is too long, the shells lack natural luster, the fruits and leaves are not fresh, and the strong contrast between the warm and cool table draperies grab too much attention. A renovation is certainly needed and is clearly the most logical next step....
