Alikabook is playing with the Filipino word for dust ("alikabok")... It's a personal scrap-book of my stories, considerations and experiences shared with so many wonderful souls in love with God.

We are dust...

Trudging onwards, in and through life,

Gather our feet, joy, sorrows and strife,

When lifted from the earth by the Gust,

We become truly what we are, we are dust,

That many of life's winds may blow,

High in the sky, against the Light may glow,

Only as brief as time itself to us entrust,

Return to what we truly are, we are dust.
