Manila Vanilla

What it's like to be a U.S. Fulbright scholar, basketball player, journalist, and the whitest man in Metro Manila.

Quiet waters run deep, Jim. We will always remember until we breathe no more.

"Every year
everything I have ever learned
in my lifetime leads me back to this;

The fire and the black river of loss
whose other side is salvation
whose meaning none of us will ever know"

Your powerful tribute shines a light in my own Blackwater Woods. Apologies to Mary Oliver.
