The Nonverbal Communication

The Science of Kinesics or Wordless Communication

If I talk to you in person and you listen, you may know me as a person, not the one you imagined who I am or imagined me to be. And vice-versa. I will hear your message-- in your voice, in your tone, in your face, in your whole body--and, most probably from inside of you, your heart and your soul.
And if you read this post as written, will you have an idea of my person or part of my person?

                                                    She, too, was, a, river, maiden,
                                                 Unreachable, mysterious, secretive,
                                                 The, unbearable, shyness, of, youth,
                                                   A, deep, deep, road, to, nowhere,
                                                     Too, late, the, speaking, voice,
                                                     Too, late, the shattering, rain,
                                                The, disaster, we, did, not, comprehend,
                                                The, pact, with, our, bodies, went, astray,
                                                We, could, have, lived, in, peace, and, quiet,
                                                  In, the, morning, side, of, the, mountain,
                                                              Together, forever.  

The "Heroes" Had Feet of Clay

Nothing has changed since the fall of Ferdinand Marcos in 1986.
The Edsa heroes had feet of clay.
The oligarchs reign supreme.
Political dynasties rape the land.
