LA TIMES: Images from Typhoon Pedring
Images from the capital, Manila, showed waves crashing over sea walls and residents wading through waist-high water to reach higher ground. More than 100,000 people were ordered to evacuate flood-prone areas near rivers and the sea.
Be not the slave of your own past. Plunge into the sublime seas, dive deep and swim far, so you shall come back with self-respect, with new power, with an advanced experience that shall explain and overlook the old.
— Ralph Waldo Emerson (via sol-psych)
