Ice Buko Man

This afternoon the rained poured. Just after the rain has stopped, while I was reading, we heard a loud voice calling out "Ice Buko! eh Ice Buko" (pronounced Ayyss-bhuu-KO-e) . Amats went out to buy from the local walking peddler. When he came back with the two ice buko which cost about 7 pesos each, then he mentioned that that man was blind.

Then a thought disturbed me, that blind man was earning his daily living, despite his blindness he was able to earn his keep. I guess we ourselves make our own boundaries and limitations of the things we can do and accomplish. We have our own challenges to overcome, yet the decision to let those challenges inhibit us to do the things we are here to do, remains to be our own decision.
