I offered to take myself for a lone expedition.
The view from the summit overlooked a great gulf.

It was the Gulf of differences in experiences, perceptions and feelings.

I noticed a little boat parked on the southern side of the harbour.

Thought it was there to help people navigate from one end of the gulf to the other.

From north to south.

What if the journey itself could turn differences into innovation, where the light of the sun would have a new name: ‘Bayanihan’.

The wind was increasing to gale force.

I took the first step and walked down to the boat.

I knew it was going to be a long journey but I knew every minute of it was going to be worth the change.
