Jeremiah [Yirmiyahu]: let not the rich man [ashir] glory in his riches [b’oshro]

I like how this one turned out. Mahal (love/expensive) written in traditional #Baybayin. So why did I just wrote the Ma Ha characters? What about the L? The traditional way to write the script is to only write the syllables. The reason for that was because each stroke had to be economic in the effort since it was laborious to scratch the bamboo. Since we knew each other in the tribe, we knew the role each person played and the words they would speak. For example, the tribe #Babaylan would write different words compared to the warrior. When the Spanish arrived, they tried to alter the script to have the consonants so that THEY could read it even without context. After trying to "modernize" our script on THEIR terms, we were then taught to hate our own brown skin, noses, names, etc. We rejected the modernization back then because it altered the spirit of the script. In a modern context, I would write non-Philippine words using the modification but for non-colonial words like Mahal, should be written traditionally. I understand how it may seem weird or "off" but we must look at it from the lens of our ancestors, not our westernized eyes and minds. Basically, if someone is trying to read your script and they don't know your context, you can gift it to them if you like. Now you have a story to tell and discussions to be had. If I added the L, that wouldn't happen #prefilipino #calligraphy #art #sketchtuesdays

Solomon [1 Kings 8:41-43]: And also to the stranger, who (is) not of Your people Israel, but will come from a far country for the sake of Your Name. For they shall hear of Your great Name, and of Your mighty hand, and of Your outstretched arm, and he will come and pray toward this house. You shall hear in heaven Your dwelling place, and do according to all that the stranger calls You for, that all peoples of the earth may know Your Name, to fear You, as (do) Your people Israel, and that they may know that Your Name is called upon this house that I have built.

Walang ligaya sa lupa na hindi dinilig ng luha.

Filipino Proverb: There is no earthly bliss not watered by tears.

Bnei Lot are of an ancient origin. In the migratory tradition of Ruth begun more than two millennia ago, a remnant of David and Solomon migrated into Maritime Southeast Asia which comprises what is now Brunei, East Timor, Indonesia, Malaysia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, The Philippines, and Singapore, as well as Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia, with a sizeable minority of Malays migrating back to their tribal allotments in Sephardic Judah, besides Terrestrial and Figurative Jordan.
