Where Hope Waits

I took this photo one quiet morning while walking near a rice field. Everything was green—the rice plants looked healthy, the trees stood still on the edges, and the mountains and sky in the background made the whole scene feel calm. But what caught my eye was the small nipa hut in the middle of the field. It looked almost forgotten, yet it felt full of meaning. It reminded me that even when nothing seems to be happening, something is always growing. That little hut felt like it was waiting—waiting for harvest, for good days ahead. In that moment, I SAW HOPE.
